It's wild to see that in a trauma bay. A full team with a combined experience of 100+ years, all the tools of modern medicine, surgery on standby, and it's still like 20% at best for me. That 20% is people who left emergency in a state stable enough for another ward so who knows how many of them survived the next week or year. In the field I didn't expect any of them to recover but reasoned that I couldn't kill them twice by trying everything.

Yeah. Medicine has gotten a lot better in my lifetime, but when you hit the limits its a sobering reminder that there are a lot of limits. : |
