Episode: Road Warriors
City: San Diego, Calif.
Hospital: Scripps Mercy Hospital
Doctor Profile: Dr. Michael Sise

A thirty-one-year-old woman was driving to the bank when an SUV suddenly smashed into her Volkswagen bug. The force of the impact was so great that it ruptured her diaphragm and pushed her stomach into her chest. With the woman's husband and son anxiously waiting, Dr. Sise will use all the miracles he has up his sleeve to try and save her.
