DIY Gunshot Treatment on Chicago’s South Side

  • It's no secret that Chicago has become the center of America’s gun violence epidemic over the last few years. In 2017 alone, the city had 3,457 shooting victims- - 246 of which were children. To make matters worse, Chicago’s South Side - where many of these shootings take place- doesn’t even have a trauma center with the ability to treat adult shooting victims.
    To help combat these shortfalls, a grassroots community organization known as Ujimaa Medics has stepped in. Ujimaa Medics trains local kids as young as 12 on how to treat gunshot wounds and how to manage crowds at the scene of a shooting.
    VICE's Rodney Lucas traveled to Chicago to meet one of the organization's co-founders and see their training firsthand.

      Chicago has very strict gun laws hence why civilians are unable to protect themselves. Chicago is 100% proof that gun control in America makes no difference at all other than making innocent people easier targets.

      srspower you're missing the point why is it that easy to access guns ? If they had gun control there wouldn't be this many guns circulating. In places with gun control there literally isn't nearly the amount of guns in the country.

      Anyone complaining that Chicago is a gun-free City doesn't understand the impact of all of the surrounding areas being so liberal with their gun rights. One City's gun laws can't stop guns from coming into a community the surrounding areas have to support or the laws only benefit the criminals.

      in 2017 chicago had 3,457 shooting victims, 246 were kids under 18.. and this video says, they dont have a hospital which will take trauma gunshot victims, so they have to drive 45 minutes away.. while people die.. and i know this is off topic but, your #barackobama is gona build himself a library in chicago to honor himself and 200 million of taxpayer dollars to build it.. so i ask,, what da fuk did yo bama do u for u muhfukas? hmmm? #cuz #if #blacklivesmatter #blm #den #buildafukn #hospital #patchup #sumadeez #ignantasskids #dumbass #libby #fakedemocrat #piecesofshit 😉

      It’s common place if a hospital is unable to properly treat a patient that they transfer them elsewhere. I love in a very affluent area and even we only have two trauma centers across three very large counties. With that being said I’d assume they didn’t look at it case by case and just pushed it through the system as “we don’t have a trauma center send them across the city because they have one” when if they’d put more thought into it they could have realized the severity. Or better yet, add a trauma center to the post dangerous side of one of the most dangerous cities in the country

      @@ryanbaker1207 as a medical professional myself- they will divert a patient to another ED trauma center, BUT the paramedics call 1st to give the ED "report " if the patient is critical and declining fast they can NOT turn that patient away. The same thing with ED diversion. Whole ED's are closed when they reach capacity. Unless a patient is critical and they r the closest. A big problem is in certain parts of Chicago and other inner cities they don't have $ for paramedics salaries, only EMS. The difference between EMS and paramedics is night and day. And the difference can be life or death. A paramedic can give life saving medicine and perform procedures. An EMS can't, they basically can monitor the patient and give VERY BASIC 1st aid. It's terrible really. All cities should be able to employ paramedics. It's just not the reality 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Although it is so sad that it has come to this for the black, minority and other youth groups of Chicago and many other cities around the US., I congratulate you for doing this. I am a white, middle class woman from Canada that studied in Health Sciences and Paramedic studies but I feel for your plight. No one should have to face such violence. It is HORRID that you even have to do this and that police officers don't even have to offer basic first aid care in a shooting (if this is in fact true). Education is key! Educate yourselves and I applaud you for raising awareness and learning the basics of first aid. It really horrifies me that you all have to even do this and face this on a daily basis but I guess it's a fact/reality of life. It shouldn't be.
    Racism, hate, crooked politicians and poverty are a wicked and vicious cycle. Know that not all people are ignorant of your plight and that we are hearing you.❤🥀

    I think the most heartbreaking part of this was when that woman matter-of-factly told a room full of kids “don’t talk and move at the same time [to police]. It may trigger aggression.” This is how you deal with bears or rabid dogs. Police are behaving like animals toward these kids, so consistently that dealing with it is built into the curriculum.

    If departments and officers weren’t so worried about getting sued there’d be more incentive to include first aid in police protocol. Unfortunately we live in a society where giving CPR can be a huge financial risk, so much so it’s hard to blame someone for waiting on paramedics. You can barely sneeze around a dying person and not get sued by some scumbag attorney.

    I’m so baffled to where American tax payers money goes! It doesn’t go towards benefits because the poor are still very much poor and starving, It doesn’t go towards health care, because you guys have to pay that urself or thru insurance, it doesn’t go towards schools, because if you’re living in a low income neighbourhood and don’t have access to other schools out of the area, chances are funding is low. It doesn’t go towards the police department, because they still have very very high gun crime, drug crime, the police are brutalising civilians and minimal action has been placed! It’s got to a point where people have to video tape every encounter with the police just Incase it’s needed to evidence later on! I used to dream of moving from England to America but growing up has made me realise that’s far from a place where I would feel comfortable living in! Can’t even send kids to school without having the background fear that they may not come home! That whole place is crazy! Lost! Yall need to start asking a LOT of questions!

    I’ve never waited that long for an ambulance to arrive. I’ve never seen anyone apply first aid to a gunshot victim. I also love how this video pivoted from gun violence to police aggression.
    Question: has any of you been on a crime scene and had to gain control with just you and maybe 1 other officer? Have you arrived on a scene and there’s 50 ppl there yelling and screaming and the gunman is still there?
    I have!! Vice, thank you for your half fast job on this story.

      Michael Taylor I know you're going to hate me for saying this but that's what tends to happens when you take in people from the third world and I know you're probably going to dismiss all this but look Sweden it was the safest country in the world until they bring in Muslims and non-whites into the country now they're the rape capital of the world so there has to be some kind of correlation between race and general ways of acting in day-to-day life and in my opinion it's all genetics because it determines your hormone levels and how well your brain can develop ect... So it has to have a correlation to how people naturally Act when left to themselves and a natural habitat they create to live In

      Chicago actually has very mid level gun restrictions, lower than New York and California to name some other larger cities, and guns do not have to be bought in that city, or state. I will also promise you that there are criminals who buy guns legally. It would be great if it was so black and white, but Chicago being used as evidence for NRA and GOP regurgitation is invalid.

      Because if you have a rap sheet measured in feet you might take your chances bleeding out instead of back in front of a judge. Or even worse, asked about who shot you. When a person shot by another won't even snitch on that person who tried to kill them, you have a culture is deeply fucked up. And then you ask cops and society to solve it. There is no solving that. The people who create it need to solve it or destroy themselves in the process.

People don’t need to speak how you want them to. Accents, dialects and languages themselves change and evolve over time. Just look at the UK and the huge variety of accents that formed on such a small island. Feeling superior because you speak a particular language/dialect is as absurd as feeling superior because you have brown hair. You didn’t earn it, or work for it - you just happened to be born like that.
