Traumatic injuries are responsible for more than 150,000 deaths a year and more than three million non-lethal injuries.
Westchester Medical Center marked Trauma Survivors Day Wednesday by reuniting some injury survivors with the medical professionals who helped save their lives.
On Wednesday, his progress, and that of many others, was recognized at Westchester Medical Center as part of Trauma Survivors Day. "It gives us the strength to do what we do, but also puts our own lives into perspective as well. To understand what it means to go through adversity, what it means to have perseverence, and what it means to really be inspired," Dr. Kartik Prabhakaran said.The retired NYPD detective was run over on the Mario Cuomo Bridge when he stopped to help another motorist nearly three years ago.
A common theme among survivors is that they arrive as patients being treated by doctors and nurses but over time all become extended family.
