Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma

The Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST) is a group of grown-up doctors who work together to help people who have been hurt really badly. They use their brains and muscles to fix the big cuts and injuries that people get from accidents or fights. Think of them like superheroes for people who are hurt!

EAST has a lot of doctors called surgeons who have super skills to help fix the broken bones and tubes inside our bodies. They have a special place where they teach other doctors how to be good superheroes too. They work together to make sure every injured person gets the best care possible.

Whenever someone is hurt badly, the doctors in EAST work quickly and carefully to help them get better. They use special tools and medicines to keep the hurt person comfortable and to make them heal faster. They make sure to take good care of people who have been hurt, so they can get back to playing and having fun again!
