🔥 What are the cases that trauma surgeons never forget?

In this episode of The Device Girls, we sit down with Dr. Antebi, an orthopedic trauma surgeon, and his wife Mindy, an ICU nurse, for an honest conversation about the realities of trauma medicine, rebuilding bodies after devastating injuries, and the emotional weight healthcare workers carry.

From life-changing accidents and amputations to the patients that stay with you long after the surgery ends, Dr. Antebi shares what it’s really like being the surgeon hospitals call when cases are at their worst.
