The Golden HourThe Golden Hour
"There is a golden hour between life "There is a golden hour between life and death. If you are critically injured and death. If you are critically injured you have less than 60 minutes to you have less than 60 minutes to survive. You might not die right then; survive. You might not die right then; it may be three days or two weeks it may be three days or two weeks later -- but something has happened later -- but something has happened in your body that is irreparable."in your body that is irreparable."
