#003 - Join host Dr. Red Hoffman for the second of two episodes with Dr. Ken Mattox, the internationally renowned trauma surgeon.   Dr. Mattox treats us to a wide-ranging history lesson!  He talks about the relationship between famous Houston surgeons Dr. Michael DeBakey and Dr. Denton Cooley, his thoughts on prior US presidents, what exactly led to Princess Diana's death.  He also talks about how the death of Lee Harvey Oswald prompted his discovery of the famous Mattox Maneuver, a technique used by surgeons throughout the world.
