It is appropriate on the 50th anniversary of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma to recall the most influential trauma surgeon in 19th century America: Samuel D. Gross. Gross was an innovative surgeon whose 50-year career as a surgeon caring for injured patients encompassed orthopedics, thoracic surgery, abdominal surgery, and ophthalmology. The dominant influence of Gross over contemporary surgical doctrine was a consequence of his prolific scholarship which included six superbly written texts that passed through a combined total of 15 editions. Gross was a teacher, occupying for 42 years Chairs of Surgery at three medical schools. Gross wore the mantle of political leadership, founding medical societies that continue today as forums for the presentation and review of new treatments for injured patients. Modern academic trauma surgeons could do no better than to emulate the career of Samuel David Gross, the Patriarch of American trauma surgeons.
在美国创伤外科学会成立50周年之际，回顾19世纪美国最具影响力的创伤外科医生塞缪尔·D·格罗斯是恰当的。格罗斯是一位富有创新精神的外科医生，他作为一名治疗受伤患者的外科医生，50年的职业生涯涵盖了骨科、胸外科、腹部外科和眼科。格罗斯对当代外科学说的主导影响是他多产的学术成果的结果，这些成果包括六部写得极好的著作，总共出版了15版。格罗斯是一名教师，在三所医学院担任了42年的外科主任。格罗斯肩负着政治领导的重任，创立了医学协会，这些协会至今仍是展示和审查受伤患者新治疗方法的论坛。现代学术创伤外科医生最好效仿美国创伤外科之父塞缪尔·大卫·格罗斯的职业生涯。
