After college student Courtney Pearce flipped her car and hit a tree, paramedics rushed her where she could receive the treatment she needed. When she arrived at University Hospital, Courtney had two skull fractures, five broken vertebrae, and fluid rapidly filling her brain.
Last February, Rachael was in a serious car accident, severing a major vein, lacerating her liver, and collapsing her lungs. Needless to say, these injuries carry a high mortality rate. But due to the diligence of Dr. Tim Pritts, Dr. Kfir Ben-David, Dr. Steve Barnes, and the rest of the trauma team, Rachael stands as living proof of a Level One trauma center’s worth.
