Dr. Peter Rhee is the trauma surgeon who helped save Congresswoman Gabby Giffords when she was a victim of an act of violence that left six dead and 13 wounded. TRAUMA RED chronicles the patient cases Dr. Rhee has handled over two decades on two distinct battle fronts: in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he tried to save young American soldiers, and the urban zones of Los Angeles and Washington, DC, where he has been confronted by an endless stream of bloody victims of civilian violence and accidents.
