A 34 year old man was injured during a roll-over truck accident. His arm was pinned under the vehicle for about 10 minutes and he sustained severe fractures and soft tissue injuries to his arm. He was taken to a trauma center and after it was determined he had no life-threatening injuries he was transferred to Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center for care by the Extremities at Risk team.

Eight-year-old Tatiana Medina has already had 18 CT scans – more than most people will have in a lifetime – and she’ll need even more in the future. Fortunately, Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center and Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children at P/SL just invested in one of the most advanced CT (a.k.a. “cat”) scan technologies in the world – assuring that such tests are now remarkably safer, faster and more comfortable for Tatiana and other patients.

After making the decision over 20 years ago to undergo a difficult surgery to keep his leg and continue running, Dateline NBC and Runners World Magazine tell the story of Tom White, an avid runner and physician from Buena Vista, Colorado. Dr. White underwent a surgery to re-attach his leg after a motorcycle accident nearly 20 years ago. At the time this was a decision made by a man who was a competitive runner, a man who knew how difficult running would be with an amputated leg.
