Military Surgery Helped Shape Modern Surgical Practice

The latest episode of The House of Surgery podcast provides a new perspective on how modern surgical practice has been shaped by military surgical history and how history can provide surgeons with a deepened appreciation for the events that have transformed patient care. Jeremy W. Cannon, MD, SM, FACS, a retired Colonel from the US Air Force Reserve, leads the discussion that includes a medical student, junior faculty member, and senior surgeon/historian.
