The 2009 drama series Trauma depicted the life of a group of paramedics who worked together in San Francisco. The show focused on the personal and professional lives of the paramedics, as they responded to emergencies and tried to save lives. The show was praised for its realistic portrayal of the paramedic profession, and for its complex and interesting characters. However, the show was canceled after one season, due to low ratings. The show struggled to find an audience, and it was ultimately pulled from the schedule after airing just 17 episodes. While the exact reasons for the show’s cancellation are not known, it is likely that NBC simply felt that it was not a good investment to continue airing a low-rated show. Whatever the reason, Trauma is now just a brief footnote in television history. Its cast, however, has done great things since the show’s early cancellation in 2010. If you’ve been wondering what the cast of Trauma has been up to since the show’s demise, read ahead. Here’s an update on the cast members of the canceled-too-soon medical drama Trauma.

His success in his career is all the more impressive considering the fact that Luke grew up with a tumultuous childhood, a situation he shared in an interview with Traveling Boy when he was asked how he overcame a “rocky start”: “Let’s go. I’ll see where my heart is. The honest answer is that I believe I’m standing literally on the shoulders of a lot of women. My great grandmother was a mid-wife, but not by being taught in school because they wouldn’t allow her to be taught in school and so her science was healing people by any means necessary. I always felt like my mom and her mom, were all in the healing business and that kind of denotes to some of the movies I’ve been a part of like “Antoine Fisher,” so growing up I always heard miracle stories. I think everybody needs a so-called mid-wife and my great grandmother really left a moral and spiritual foundation. I think there are a lot of people that have been raised in a difficult environment but her key was don’t let the environment raise you. I think we all have challenges but I had great, strong women and have been a momma’s boy for a long time until I got married. So, I really pay tribute to all the women who went to work under crazy conditions and fed us by any means necessary. They’re really like the heroes and I’m just telling the stories of how I kind of came out victorious.”
