“I could take care of somebody with a gunshot wound,” Hagans, who works in a Category 1 trauma center at the Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, told The Independent. “I could take care of someone who had a hemorrhagic bleed in the brain. It could be someone who had an aortic rupture. It's a very high-level skill. It’s a challenge.”
