Cold Steel: Canadian Journal of Surgery Podcast

This week we were joined by THE Dr. Walt Biffl, of the Biffl score for blunt cerebrovascular injury. We picked Dr. Biffl’s brain  on what goes into generating good clinical guidelines. We then delve into his work on blunt cerebrovascular disease, and finally, on pancreatic trauma. As always, sends your questions, thoughts, and comments to podcast.cjs@gmail.com.
