10 Years On, Surgeons Recount Trauma Response to I-35W Bridge Collapse
Excerpts from UMN Health - Less than a mile away from the bridge, care teams at the University of Minnesota Medical Center Emergency Department received patients by ambulance, in the back of pick-up trucks and on foot.

“Those patients are called the ‘walking wounded’ and they present some additional challenges compared to patients who arrive by ambulance. We need to register them and assess their injuries efficiently,” said Kaysie Banton, MD, assistant professor within the University of Minnesota Medical School’s department of surgery and medical director for the current trauma program at the medical center. “On that day, our care teams had to handle many of these cases.”
“I was amazed at the spontaneous response of the medical center staff, many of whom returned to the hospital on their own to help,” Chipman said. “The team was unstoppable, driven to care for every person who was involved in the collapse if that’s what was needed.”
