Hi my fellow osteopaths. I'm trying to find some info about St. James Hospital in Chicago Heights, IL residency program. They don't have a website, so I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about it.
Thanks

What would you like to know? It's a community/academic hospital about 25 miles outside the city. Most of us live downtown and commute though. Tons of operating (our second years had around 160 cases done 4 months into thier second year this year). We have very busy general, vascular and colorectal services. Also we are the only level one trauma center for the south side of chicago and northwest Indiana. Therefore we get plenty of trauma every day on the trauma service as well. Mostly puncture (gunshots and stabbing) and motor vehicle.
I thought Ken Mattox was in Houston?
I don't know who Ken Mattox is. However, there is a new Trauma attending at Olympia Fields that the residents said was very highly regarded in the Midwest. It's been a few months, but I thought the guy's name was Maddux?/Mattox?.
I did a search on the hospital website. The only trauma surgeon listed was Merlotti, so that was probably the guy I met. Residents raved about him.Mattox, is a huge name in trauma. Last I knew he was at Ben Taub in Houston. He is one of the editors for the big Trauma book and Sabiston text. My guess is that this is a different Mattox.
