Ever since the days of Lewis and Clark, people have moved to Portland, Ore., in search of freedom and a better life. Fifteen years ago, a rare breed of doctors and nurses moved to Portland to pioneer a new kind of medicine — trauma. Now those pioneering doctors and nurses at Legacy Emanuel Hospital are veterans, and trauma has become a way of life. These staffers have seen it all, and at first sight they may seem a little gruff and weary, but deep down they love what they do. And when patients need it most, their skill, expertise and humor can heal almost anything — from a broken heart to an amputated leg.
