Maryland Officer Thanks Hospital That Saved His Life The staff at Baltimore's Shock Trauma Center was honored for saving a Baltimore County police officer's life. Cpl. David Garner was shot in the side and the arm on Dec. 14 while he and his police K-9 searched for an armed robbery suspect in Perry Hall. On Monday, he went back to the hospital to say thank you to those who saved his life. "When I took my vest off, I realized that somehow the bullet made it underneath the vest. That's when I realized it wasn't nearly as good as I thought it could be," Garner said, remembering the day he was shot. Garner was driven by ambulance to Shock Trauma, where Dr. Thomas Scalea and his staff began working on the injured officer. "He kind of leaned down and looked at me and said, 'I'm Dr. Scalea, and you're going to be fine.' And that's the last thing I remember before they administered the anesthesia. Those were the words that I went to sleep with," Garner said. "It's easy to do something when you believe in it, and it's impossible not to believe when you walk in here and you see the magic. And the magic is not the walls and the equipment -- it's the people," Scalea said. Those people Scalea spoke of nursed the seriously injured Garner back to health. Garner's wife, Beth, was told of the hospital's reputation the minute her husband had been shot. "They picked me up in my driveway and brought me down here, and they kept saying he would be fine. And, thank God, he was," she said. Three police officers that had been shot in December were taken to Shock Trauma for recovery. All of them survived. Just a few days before Garner was injured, state Trooper Eric Workman was taken to the hospital after being shot on duty. WBAL TV 11 News learned that the two became friends and that they keep in touch by cell phone frequently.
