By week six at the Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital, Chase Lancaster was walking without limitations. Two years later, at 18, he is thriving. In part five, the final chapter of this story, hear Chase in his own words.
Miraculously, the signs changed. Chase Lancaster’s organs began to recover. His lungs began to heal. Part four of his story, where critical care, cardiac surgery, therapy, and nursing came together for one remarkable recovery. #ShockTrauma
There were nights Chase Lancaster’s care team did not know if he would make it. Nearly seven operations. Almost 150 units of blood. Injuries to his heart, liver, and legs. Part three of his story is the fight to keep him alive.
If Chase Lancaster had been flown to the Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center just a few years earlier, he likely would not have survived the trip. In part two of his story, see how advances in trauma care kept him alive as he lost 40 liters of blood.
A night at a party in Urbana turned into a fight for his life. Chase Lancaster, an innocent bystander in a shooting, faced months of recovery with a team that never gave up. Watch part one of his story. #ShockTrauma #PatientStory
