I worked trauma OR when I was an RN in my early 20s. I burned out in 3 years. God bless trauma teams. Now I’m on the other side of the spectrum as a hospice RN. They both have taught me to appreciate every moment of my life, but also to help those who have a limited amount of time in theirs.
You're Exactly Right. I'm now a disabled RN, been there, done that same as you. Thank You for your important message! You're Appreciated! Sending love and prayers from Georgia USA. ❤🎉❤😊
I thank God for my son's trauma surgeons and team on April 20, 2022, at 2:12 p.m. My son was shot in his chest which hit his diaphragm and damaged his colon, and appendix, and was left with an ostomy bag for two years. In March of this year, he had his reversal surgery and still struggles with his health because they had to remove his spleen. He was on life support for a month. The male who shot him was on the run for almost a year and the case will be heard by the grand jury on April 24, 2024. I prayed for God to guide the trauma doctors' hands for all the patients.
As a nurse I have seen this type of tragedy all too often. I hope the judicial system will treat this accordingly. I lost my son at age 26. I'm glad your son survived. ❤
May you and your son be blessed. ❤ I'm sorry you had to go through that. God bless the surgeons and nurses who made sure your son was able to go home to you. In Jesus' name. Amen 🙏🏻 ✝️
i lost my mom in 2019. 11 bullets to the neck, chest and stomach from her obsessive ex bf. you never think these things would happen to your family but its more common than you think. i miss her everyday.
Oh my God 😮. That's horrible I'm so sorry. Focus on the good memories and not her death. I know it's hard but that's most likely what she would want you to do 🙂
I lost my girlfriend in a drive-by shooting in 1998 they ended up featuring the shooter on America's Most Wanted I still think of her to this day rest in peace baby girl. Bethany Hyde.
My grandson Dezmond Anthony Vaughn Butler was a victim of gun violence in Columbus Ohio. He was shot in the back of the head on 10/31/2023 24 days after his 17th birthday.He died on November 1st 2023 .We love and miss him so much.
I was shot in the right upper chest. The bullet missed my heart by an inch. I had a collapsed lung. Having the chest tube put in hurt so much worse than getting shot. I spent 14 days in the hospital. I’m so thankful to be alive. The guy had road rage.
My best friend that I grew up with , was shot three times on his 18th birthday. Once in the chest, twice in the stomach. Over a fake chain around his neck. We were going to hang out that night at the movies, instead my family got the call . I miss him everyday, RIP Landon
Thank you to all of the trauma surgeons and nursing staff who worked these horrific cases and save these people. Without you these victims would not have a fighting chance!
400k deaths per year from medical malpractice. That's over 100k more than guns. And many of the gun deaths were self defense, gang violence or self inflicted
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.😢 MY CONDOLENCES 🙏. I DON'T BELIEVE PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO OWN GUN'S ONLY AUTHORITIES. BECAUSE WHEN A PERSON HAS A GUN THEY LET THEIR ANGER GET THE BEST OF THEM. GUN VIOLENCE HAS TO STOP 🛑 IT'S GOTTEN WAY OUT OF HAND.
WHATS GUN VIOLENCE? SMH ID REALLY LIKE TO FUCKING KNOW???ITS MORE LIKE BLACK VIOLENCE,BECAUSE BLACKS ARE THE ONLY ONES THEY ONLY FIGHT WITH GUNS OK SO SHUT YOUR MOUTH WITH THAT NONSENSE TERM
@@sandymagarin5497there are millions of responsible gun owners that don’t “let their anger get to them” it’s not guns that are the problem, it’s people/society. Granted if guns weren’t available, less people would be shot, however, people would find other ways to hurt each other regardless of availability of guns..
I did my Training in Temple's ER for ER TECH, amazing DRs, Nurse's and their entire ER Staff, I learned so much in the time I was there. Thank you so much for the Amazing Training, Advice and Prayers.
Thank you to every last ER Trauma staff out there. I had first hand experience rolling into the ER lights and sirens, the Trauma team saved my life. Every last person on that team made a difference, they gave me a second chance and brought me back to life. I will ALWAYS be so thankful and will never forget. ❤❤❤❤
Excellent documentary on a tough issue. I think the conversation around anti-violence from community members working with hospitals clinical staff makes good sense and the results are demonstrating it is helping!
I love what you said. Too many people are "anti-gun" and dont use their brains. A gun is just a tool like a car or a drug... and all three can kill when used with violence. What we have to do is re-institute VALUES into young people, teach morality, honor, and raise young people who have a sense of self-respect and integrity. "Anti-Violence" is something we can move towards as a society. But if you outlaw a tool without correcting the societal ills, they'll just buy them illegally. They'll get them through Mexico like where they get their heroin and fentanyl (which are also "banned" but still flow into America like a waterfall)
Thank God for Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. My brother was shot 4 times and those trauma surgeons worked on my brother for 17 hours, because he kept flatlining and bleeding internally. They rushed him to surgery twice. That was June 9., 2002. Today is 4/27/2024 and my big brother is alive and well , with some nerve damage and wears a colostomy bag still, but he is here and doing fantastic. I KNOW IT WAS NOTHING BUT GOD WORKING THROUGH THOSE SURGEONS. THEY ARE VESSELS FOR GOD'S WORK. LORD I THANK YOU.
I’ve seen terrible things throughout my life that I wish I could unsee. It sticks with you, haunts you, and disrupts your sleep. Fortunately, they were few and far between. To see terrible things on a daily basis and still be able to have a normal life, takes a special kind of person. There are no words to describe the amount of admiration and respect I have for medical professionals and everything they do. They are true heroes.
I've cried in my patrol car far too many times after dealing with gun violence. Seeing this senseless violence takes a toll on a person. Some I helped save. Some didn't make it. I just hope they felt some kind of comfort hearing in my voice that I cared about them. To those who are out there doing the social work, the doctors and nurse, the grassroots soldiers, I salute you.
How can an inanimate object be violent? Was that object violent when you used it to stop a threat? So are the doctors and nurses also violent since medical malpractice causes more deaths than the inanimate object?
@@noncompliant209caliif you’re going to nitpick, be smarter about it. “Gun violence” refers to PEOPLE doing violent things using firearms, not firearms being violent……
@@jonathangorrie2402 that's strange because I haven't seen any gun laws that ban people. Yet they'll ban something as simple as a vertical piece of plastic on the front a rifle or a stock that gets 2 inches shorter. And that results in zero added deaths, yet the 60% of the gun deaths come from 14% of the population. Yet we ban something responsible for 0% of deaths
Need to address gang & inner city violence. Law abiding gun owners do not go around shooting people less they are defending themselves, their family or an innocent civilians life from Criminals.
Pretty sure the Las Vegas mass shooter was a legal gun owner. The guy in NY who murdered that 20 yr old girl for turning around in his driveway was a legal gun owner. I can go on with other cases. I'm not against guns but our total lack of any meaningful regulation is ridiculous. Several years ago there was a mass shooting at my grocery store. We're keeping crazy folks, cartels, everyone well armed. It's pathetic.
There are few things in life that make me feel so helpless and broken hearted, as receiving my exhausted spouse,coming home after a day in ICU or Casualty. Sometimes tears flow and sometimes losing the battle for life in a child..,. The loss leaves a hole that never closes. I cry as well,because it could just as well have been our child¡. As a Teacher standing next to a pupil's grave, in our Gun bezotted South Africa.... Enough is ENOUGH!!
Lord please continue to give our heroes,our healthcare workers strength they are burnt out from these craziness... but when will this end...why only the healthcare workers talking about it
As a Nurse i know how tiring call after call can be!! SALUTE!!!!! I was Shot 3 times at age 17 just walking to get some food in 1995!! its the scars for me!! i dont wear two piece clothes ...
It truly takes a very unique person to do all that public servants do especially in these traumatic situations, to see the intensity & concern that they all display to save a life is amazing!
You just compartmentalize and you're so focused on using the algorithm, treating the patient, anticipating the next intervention.. it doesn't sink in until later when you finally decompress. Then it HITS
My colleague was shot twice in an attempted hijacking. Once in the chest and once in the leg. He didn’t survive. Amazingly it wasn’t the chest wound that ended his life it was the one in the leg, the surgeon said the bullet hit his femoral artery and he bleed out profusely, since arteries carry the most volume of blood.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SOME PEOPLE STILL DON'T REALIZE THAT ALL THAT GUN LAWS EVER DO IS MAKE IT HARDER FOR HONEST PEOPLE TO BE SAFE---- NOT CRIMINALS!!!!
It really doesn't. Didn't stop us or slow us down from getting one. It's messed up that the U.S. created this problem in the first place, the fact that we NEED to protect ourselves cause they decided guns should be everywhere 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
@@foxhollerhomestead 🤓 more than one thing can be true. On the contrary it really didn't make it harder. You think it should be easy for some kid to get one? Are you a kid? That would be a nice safety net. They made it easier to be safer by allowing you to carry in some places. The steps it took to get here were just interesting to me.
My brother got shot 5 times the only thing that save his life he doved under a truck the prayers of my mother and GOD! THE DOCTOR SAID HE WOULDN'T SUPPOSED TO COME OUT THE HOSPITAL ALIVE!😢
You need to go back to school and focus on your grammar. As a former teacher, your grammar is below a 6 year old level. You can cry racism and play victim if you take liberties like school for granted.
My grandmother shot in the head pregnant with my mother survived a miracle…My cousin was shot 8 times expected to die he was the only one to survive the shoot out . Thanks to the trauma team that operated on him n wouldn’t let him die they came in every hour to update me family . My hardheaded but loving cousin is blessed !! He’s paralyzed but it’s better than nothing ❤️🫶🏾🙏🏾 I grew up in Chicago I have PTSD from guns and loud bangs ! It is sad 😢
My granddaughter’s father shot being in the place at the wrong time; he was with his ex. wife cousin unaware that her cousin had a beef with another young man; as they were walking to the store her cousin seen the guy walking up the street that when he told my granddaughter’s father to run but he wasn’t aware that danger was up ahead when he did realize he took off running in which he was shot in the legs when he fell the guy stood over him in which he was shot twice in the head and a third in his mouth and the other bullets in his body ; he die three times but they didn’t give up . They were able to do reconstruction to his face ; he remembered very little but his memory is intact but it did left him paralyzed. Being paralyzed is a struggle because he get a lot of infection to his wounds .
This program is excellent and needs to be nation wide. The gun problem is worse in cities but truly it’s nation wide. I think adults who don’t work in a medical field would benefit too.
Most gun deaths are self inflicted, self defense and gang violence. The 400k deaths per year from medical malpractice isn't self inflicted, self defense or gang violence. But sure we have an inanimate object problem 😂
My Son was shot in the abdomen in 1989, it was a 22 caliber, it damaged his aorta, his left kidney was taken out and it hit his liver. he got around 110 IV and blood transfusions, these small bullets do kill, after going into cardiac arrest 4 times he ultimately lost his life at 10 Years old. Trauma surgeons worked really hard to save his life as well as the EMT and firefighters first to treat him. My Son had just gone over to play with a 9 year old who's mother was home and allowed this to happen by letting her son play with loaded guns. We were new to the neighborhood and no way I would have ever thought something like this would or could of happened, she had a master degree in nursing and didn't even call 911, she drove him 10 and a half miles in her truck to fire rescue. Please keep your guns locked up and do not let your children have any access to them.
Thank you, it was very hard for a long time, but I'm at peace with it now but definitely blessed to have only had him for 10 years. Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved. He resides in my heart and surfaces sometimes and I still am able to smile thinking of some of the memories. He taught me so much. @@swayzy762
Wow is all i can say!! God bless these people in the healthcare field because y’all all play a vital role. And this video needs shared and watched by ALL!!!!
I Appreciate all you surgeon’s for putting this together! You are all Heroes no matter the outcome I admire the work and effort you all give. God bless you all 🙏🏽 Thank you!!!
I have a murdered brother who.was beaten to death. Environmentally its just hard sometimes to be safe going to school. Violence is never the answer. And this hits hard.
Ive Been shot and survived... its a sad crazy world. I was helping a friend in a domestic. 😢. You cant stop living life or let it hinder u. I hope everyone stays safe and just be situationaly aware
In sept of 2021, my children’s father, my spouse of 8 years was shot 11+ times. I remember driving to where the shooting took place, and having such a great sense of relief that he was not going to die. It’s crazy, but god knew I needed something to hold on to.. I was driving alone, my children were in school & I had to make sure I held myself together & I drove myself to the scene & then the hospital… these doctors are miracle workers sure god too but these doctors man… they just don’t know how grateful I am for them & how grateful I am to say I didn’t have to take my then 5yo & 3yo to their fathers funeral.
Omg girl! My 16 year old was shot Sept 2021 her in Chicago in the Humboldt park neighborhood. When they called and told me he was on but being rushed to hospital, I had to drive past the place he was shot at 7 times hit once. He survived and is now 19. My love ❤
the first guy is the guy i always remember he payed for my tv my whole hospital stay when i got shot , because i was in a program to save teens from the streets in we did a tour at Temple hospital about gun shot victims in philly he remembered me i end up getting shot like 4 months later after the tour
So many folks you never met, care for you! We are praying for your physical and mental health, your family's peace of mind and for everyone, gun carrying or not, see that everyone's life is priceless and popping others is not an acceptable way to handle conflict or hatred! Put guns down!! From someone's ATL Grandma that loves life and you!!!!
Repeated violent offenders are not being prosecuted instead they are let right back out on the streets with some ridiculous excuse for thier violent behavior, this is the case in Baltimore all of the time they literally have more rights than law-abiding citizens and easier access to firearms than law-abiding citizens.
This I know a man that lost his 16 year old son to a 17 year old that went on a 2 week rampage where he was arrested 7 days in after shooting at his ex girlfriend he was let go. Don't demand more gun laws when woke judges refuse to enforce the ones we have that actually make sense
I agree the images of school shooting victims should be shown to the public. When my grandmother’s nephew and later her grandmother died, they laid them out on the kitchen table until a casket arrived for burial…three days. Many citizens of the United States will go their entire life without ever seeing a dead body, unless it’s been prepared by a funeral home and is under pink light. 😢
I have worked in trauma surgery myself for 20 years in Baltimore and I can definitely attest to everything that is being shown in this video. I have seen many patients die due to gunshot wounds and that is really depressing to say the least. No one deserves being shot, period! As an American and a nurse it is really disgusting that the Federal and State government are unwilling to do anything in the right direction.
I would never make it as a nurse let alone a trauma nurse so thank you for dedicating so many years to trauma. As for no one deserving to be shot, I have to disagree. Had I had my permit to carry, my rapist wouldn’t have gotten as far as he did. He nearly killed me.
No lady disarming Americans is not going to magically make violent criminals disappear .. I mean,are drugs legal ? Do ya see alot of drug overdoses? Why do you think banning guns will be different ? You've been programmed
If guns didn’t exist in America, this would be a documentary about knife wounds. The most pervasive, but treatable acute condition filling trauma centers today is moral decay.
The damage guns do is on a different level. We get plenty of stabbings in Europe but the damage looks entirely different. Knives are very personal, you need to get up close to the victim and the range of destruction is much smaller than with guns. There's only a handful of mass stabbings, but mass shootings happen all the time. Guns and knives are not the same, and the only legitimate measure is the real world damage they cause.
@@wwondertwinguns may have longer range but the fact still remains that it isnt the guns that are the problem, its the society. Gang violence makes up the vast majority of gun violence deaths in america, period. Mass shootings are a very small percentage of the amount of people that are killed by guns every year. The guns are not the problem, people are.
I’ve lost 4 brothers to gun violence. My youngest on my birthday. I wish they were one of the lucky ones. I’m so grateful for the doctors that worked on them and the cops that scooped them and rushed them to the hospital. I miss them so much. I wish this epidemic ends. 😢
@@dustynbrooks6505that’s very rude because I grew up in Chicago and a-lot of ppl die by being a innocent bystander. You guys really need to live outside your box for day or you wouldn’t t just be saying something so ignorant . Clearly y’all didn’t see this full video to know sometimes wrong place wrong time . A man was 8 years old shot by his neighbor. Was he a gang banger ? Pity the fool 🤦🏾♀️
If the DA and Judges did their jobs properly ANYONE caught using a gun in ANY crime, regardless if it was fired or not, goes to prison. Not enough room? make more prisons. And age should not be a factor. If someone is set free after using a gun in a crime, they will more likely reoffend.
The world 🌎 needs peace and people working together not fighting against one another. God bless the medical professionals who do their best and save lives ❤️
@jillspence7227 FOR SOME REASON......YOU DON'T SEEM TO HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE MEANING OF THE WORD----- SCAPEGOAT!!!!!! I THINK THAT YOU NEED TO GO LOOK UP THE WORD---- SCAPEGOAT--- IN THE DICTIONARY!!!!!!
Im so glad this doc got made god bless all of the trauma docs in every hospital in high gun crime areas! God bless all families affected by gun violence! Be strong! Change IS coming! Just hang in there! Bless the film makers for this doc! It needed to be done for sure! Im not even an American citizen but jeez i can feel every single loss every family has had due to gun violence! It truly shocks me how extreme the numbers are in many many cities & towns across all states of the amount of victims of gun violence each year, shocking & devastating numbers, its gotta change! Somethings gotta give! Its not right to live in perpetual fear of a stray bullet or being shot up at school & even theatres/ the movies are getting shot up! Its horrifically disgusting how this has been allowed to go on for soo long!🤦🏼♀️ I pray for all of americans who live in bad areas & have to deal with gun violence & gun crime most days/nights in their communities!! Bless u all! 🙏🏻🤗 Stay safe & be good to each other, love one another & dont turn to guns to solve ur problems! THERE ARE NO WINNERS IN THAT GAME! Watching this doc has opened my eyes for sure, people are fed up with it. Lets hope the nxt 10-20 yrs gun laws etc can change to the extent where living is the norm instead of hearing gunshots each & every night/day in ur neighbourhood! Chow & Peace Out y’all’ ❤✌🏻🙏🏻🤗💗
It’s not guns that kill people it’s people!!! I know more people that were killed with knives. I do not personally know anyone killed by a gun and I grew up in NYC. Now I have had over 20 friends die from fentanyl!!!! How come lawmakers aren’t taking stronger actions against that, they have actually gotten weaker against it. Do you know people die 4 times the amount from fentanyl deaths than guns….. just the other day there was 6 people killed in Australia by a knife. People die and that’s just life. Stop blaming guns!! I can go kill hundreds of people with my car and will you outlaw cars??? No. Just because you don’t like guns doesn’t mean they should be taken away. Most gun crimes are from gangs how about talk another black gangs killing each other…. Nooooo can’t bring that up because it’s racism well BS it’s called reality and people to scared to call others out on there crap. By the way I would love to know what country your from.
@@HookechoandlineEveryone tells me I'm wrong for not wanting to bring children into this world where they can get hurt so easily. I was bullied throughout my school years and continue to be now. I don't want to continue that cycle. I don't want to give anyone any child of mine to hurt.
It was 2018 when my son was senselessly shot and killed. The doctors did everything they could but the girl who I believe set him up wasted time and called me instead of 911. If those people haven’t lost a child to gun violence, if they aren’t a trauma surgeon, how can they say that? I’m not against RESPONSIBLE gun owners, but who ever talks about the circulation of stolen firearms? The punk who killed my son used a stolen firearm. And those saying guns don’t kill, people do…most of these guys are cowards! Pulling a trigger is much easier than getting up close and personal to stab or physically killing someone. Guns by all means ARE a problem when the wrong people have them!
Sorry for your loss. I have a 15yr old boy n a 21yr old girl n that’s my biggest fear. I can’t imagine the pain n agony. May your son get justice and stay blessed you have an angel 😇 on your shoulders now. 😢 💚🙏🏽
I’m so sorry for your loss. I guess the heart of the problem is nobody knows how to solve the problem…some say take them away, lock them up. Some say more good people carrying guns will allow us to prevent others from being shot because we shoot the shooter. Some say address mental health. Some say address education. I don’t know the answer, but I personally choose to carry a gun so that I at least have a chance to protect my babies. One day, I hope we clean this world up enough so I don’t feel the need to do that. But so many selfish people in the world willing to take those we hold precious to us. May God bless you, and give you peace. I hope we find an answer someday, for your son.
@@Hookechoandline I think our problem with guns is we never, as civilians should have ever been allowed to have guns in the first place. Fixing it is too late. The black market has so many stolen weapons there’s no way to get control now. Mental illness is a factor as well. I also carry for protection. But I’m a 52 year old mother. I’m not out here trying to hurt anyone. And thank you. Life changing in the worst way
A man by the name of Maj Toure founded Black Guns Matter & he is doing a phenomenal job educating urban America about guns & legal gun ownership. Unfortunately like every thing else there’s always going to be a small group that will do things the wrong way.
When me & my forever lover were 13 we were in the same neighborhood one night we were Chillen with our crowd & we happen to get into a bad shoot out that resulted in the death of my sweetheart I got hit in the leg & the chest but was blessed enough to make it with just a permanent limp on my leg , I just wish my Cassie woulda still made it tho this was back in 1995.
One word RESPECT. I think there's something in the water and the trails they put in the sky is causing people to act violence as well as the culture in the music in the films.

Thank you. Let's not ignore these doctors and nurses, the patients and families need us to see this.
They are absolutely going to have PTSD. They're sacrificing themselves to help others.
This needs to be shown at schools
To graphic
so they are lied to?
And firearms safety classes.
Foxies and Robert I so wholeheartedly agree with you. Liz, wake up please… lots of violence is committed by juveniles… education must start young.

NO ONE MENTIONS the CLEANING STAFF in O.R. Rooms!
I hear you, a very integral part of the hospital I appreciate you as well
I am a housekeeper in a hospital ty for acknowledging us
House keeping staff are one of the most important sections of the hospital team.
They never do mention the cleaning staff overall. They are looked down upon. I know i use to be a EVS cleaner in these hospitals.
And they're sloppy about needle safety and they don't care if you get stuck as a cleaning employee
God bless the men and women of the trauma centers for saving people's lives and doing the best it can my heart aches for all these gun victims
This is a film, it’s not real ! It’s not a documentary, it’s fiction !
They are not all victims - many are the protagonists. Americans and their guns. Don’t ever expect the violence to end!🇨🇦
Women didn’t do shit.
AMEN 🙏🌹🕊️🕊️🕊️
My heart aches for the 400k that die from medical malpractice. This video is propaganda and completely biased.
I was shot in the right upper chest. The bullet missed my heart by an inch. I had a collapsed lung. Having the chest tube put in hurt so much worse than getting shot. I spent 14 days in the hospital. I’m so thankful to be alive. The guy had road rage.

400k deaths per year from medical malpractice. That's over 100k more than guns. And many of the gun deaths were self defense, gang violence or self inflicted

I did my Training in Temple's ER for ER TECH, amazing DRs, Nurse's and their entire ER Staff, I learned so much in the time I was there. Thank you so much for the Amazing Training, Advice and Prayers.
Thank you to every last ER Trauma staff out there. I had first hand experience rolling into the ER lights and sirens, the Trauma team saved my life. Every last person on that team made a difference, they gave me a second chance and brought me back to life. I will ALWAYS be so thankful and will never forget. ❤❤❤❤
To be killed like that in your own kitchen after 92 years of living is a absolute travesty.
So is sin.
It’s so heartbreaking watching people do this to others like why
This was hard hitting and eye opening...I hope everyone on Earth sees this documentary and learns from its many lessons...
Excellent documentary on a tough issue. I think the conversation around anti-violence from community members working with hospitals clinical staff makes good sense and the results are demonstrating it is helping!
I love what you said. Too many people are "anti-gun" and dont use their brains. A gun is just a tool like a car or a drug... and all three can kill when used with violence. What we have to do is re-institute VALUES into young people, teach morality, honor, and raise young people who have a sense of self-respect and integrity. "Anti-Violence" is something we can move towards as a society. But if you outlaw a tool without correcting the societal ills, they'll just buy them illegally. They'll get them through Mexico like where they get their heroin and fentanyl (which are also "banned" but still flow into America like a waterfall)
Thank God for Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. My brother was shot 4 times and those trauma surgeons worked on my brother for 17 hours, because he kept flatlining and bleeding internally. They rushed him to surgery twice. That was June 9., 2002. Today is 4/27/2024 and my big brother is alive and well , with some nerve damage and wears a colostomy bag still, but he is here and doing fantastic. I KNOW IT WAS NOTHING BUT GOD WORKING THROUGH THOSE SURGEONS. THEY ARE VESSELS FOR GOD'S WORK. LORD I THANK YOU.
They have lots of experience dealing with gun shots in Brooklyn
@@JohnpaulDejoria666 That's sweet bitter.
I’ve seen terrible things throughout my life that I wish I could unsee. It sticks with you, haunts you, and disrupts your sleep. Fortunately, they were few and far between. To see terrible things on a daily basis and still be able to have a normal life, takes a special kind of person. There are no words to describe the amount of admiration and respect I have for medical professionals and everything they do. They are true heroes.
Thank you to all ER drs and nurses all all staff involved
Thank you all for saving My life if it wasn't for the first police officer there to help me I would not be here today
I've cried in my patrol car far too many times after dealing with gun violence. Seeing this senseless violence takes a toll on a person. Some I helped save. Some didn't make it. I just hope they felt some kind of comfort hearing in my voice that I cared about them. To those who are out there doing the social work, the doctors and nurse, the grassroots soldiers, I salute you.
How can an inanimate object be violent? Was that object violent when you used it to stop a threat? So are the doctors and nurses also violent since medical malpractice causes more deaths than the inanimate object?
@noncompliant209cali 🤔 I'm happy to soon be retiring so I don't have to engage with idiots anymore. You're idiots.🫡
@@noncompliant209caliif you’re going to nitpick, be smarter about it. “Gun violence” refers to PEOPLE doing violent things using firearms, not firearms being violent……
@@jonathangorrie2402 that's strange because I haven't seen any gun laws that ban people. Yet they'll ban something as simple as a vertical piece of plastic on the front a rifle or a stock that gets 2 inches shorter. And that results in zero added deaths, yet the 60% of the gun deaths come from 14% of the population. Yet we ban something responsible for 0% of deaths
It's not "gun violence". 😂 it's EVIL people doing evil shit. Nice CNN buzz words tho!
Need to address gang & inner city violence. Law abiding gun owners do not go around shooting people less they are defending themselves, their family or an innocent civilians life from Criminals.
Exactly!!!
Pretty sure the Las Vegas mass shooter was a legal gun owner. The guy in NY who murdered that 20 yr old girl for turning around in his driveway was a legal gun owner. I can go on with other cases. I'm not against guns but our total lack of any meaningful regulation is ridiculous. Several years ago there was a mass shooting at my grocery store. We're keeping crazy folks, cartels, everyone well armed. It's pathetic.
Gun violence is also prominent in rural areas. Acting like guns aren't dangerous and shouldn't be regulated is ludicrous.
@@shanicesm6208💯💯!!
The majority of gun deaths aren't gang and innrr city violence from what I've seen.
If you’re shot and survive, you are not “lucky,” you are “Blessed”.
That's such a fact
My husband was shot in the face and the butt during a drug deal gone wrong. The trauma surgeons did an amazing job.
God isn’t done with them just yet , praise God .❤️🩹🙏
AMEN 🙏🌹🕊️🕊️
If you survive, thank the medical team and your bodies natural defenses. This also goes to show your soul contract for this lifetime isn't up. ❤
Excellent documentary. Such crucial information.
These responders are angels here on earth!
There are few things in life that make me feel so helpless and broken hearted, as receiving my exhausted spouse,coming home after a day in ICU or Casualty. Sometimes tears flow and sometimes losing the battle for life in a child..,. The loss leaves a hole that never closes. I cry as well,because it could just as well have been our child¡. As a Teacher standing next to a pupil's grave, in our Gun bezotted South Africa.... Enough is ENOUGH!!
The “babies only” sign at the morgue made my heart sink
Lord please continue to give our heroes,our healthcare workers strength they are burnt out from these craziness... but when will this end...why only the healthcare workers talking about it
They are directly affected by it.
the mother and grandmother of the 17 year old. no words
As a Nurse i know how tiring call after call can be!! SALUTE!!!!! I was Shot 3 times at age 17 just walking to get some food in 1995!! its the scars for me!! i dont wear two piece clothes ...
😭✝️🙏❤️
🙏🌹🕊️🕊️
It truly takes a very unique person to do all that public servants do especially in these traumatic situations, to see the intensity & concern that they all display to save a life is amazing!
You just compartmentalize and you're so focused on using the algorithm, treating the patient, anticipating the next intervention.. it doesn't sink in until later when you finally decompress. Then it HITS
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for this important film. It was just brilliant.
My colleague was shot twice in an attempted hijacking. Once in the chest and once in the leg. He didn’t survive. Amazingly it wasn’t the chest wound that ended his life it was the one in the leg, the surgeon said the bullet hit his femoral artery and he bleed out profusely, since arteries carry the most volume of blood.
I am deeply moved watching all of you . Thank you for all you do thank you
God keep the trauma team healthy, bless them lord we need them.
It's such a crazy coordinated effort to treat just ONE patient. Do it every day, all day...its wears on you. Sending blessings to all. ❤
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SOME PEOPLE STILL DON'T REALIZE THAT ALL THAT GUN LAWS EVER DO IS MAKE IT HARDER FOR HONEST PEOPLE TO BE SAFE---- NOT CRIMINALS!!!!
It really doesn't. Didn't stop us or slow us down from getting one. It's messed up that the U.S. created this problem in the first place, the fact that we NEED to protect ourselves cause they decided guns should be everywhere 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
@@GRIMxREAFERlol perfect response to deflect the truth. 🤦
@@foxhollerhomestead 🤓 more than one thing can be true. On the contrary it really didn't make it harder. You think it should be easy for some kid to get one? Are you a kid? That would be a nice safety net.
They made it easier to be safer by allowing you to carry in some places. The steps it took to get here were just interesting to me.
Remember that the next time you see a Ford Black American with a gun. Let's see how quickly you change your mind and gun regulations.
@@carlousmagus5387 MY OPINION ON THIS WON'T EVER CHANGE IN THE LEAST---- I GUARANTEE YOU!!!!!!
My brother got shot 5 times the only thing that save his life he doved under a truck the prayers of my mother and GOD! THE DOCTOR SAID HE WOULDN'T SUPPOSED TO COME OUT THE HOSPITAL ALIVE!😢
You need to go back to school and focus on your grammar. As a former teacher, your grammar is below a 6 year old level. You can cry racism and play victim if you take liberties like school for granted.
M from afrika n i love these doctors...n i like to say "may god bless them all and every patient their hands touch"❤❤❤
My grandmother shot in the head pregnant with my mother survived a miracle…My cousin was shot 8 times expected to die he was the only one to survive the shoot out . Thanks to the trauma team that operated on him n wouldn’t let him die they came in every hour to update me family . My hardheaded but loving cousin is blessed !! He’s paralyzed but it’s better than nothing ❤️🫶🏾🙏🏾 I grew up in Chicago I have PTSD from guns and loud bangs ! It is sad 😢
My granddaughter’s father shot being in the place at the wrong time; he was with his ex. wife cousin unaware that her cousin had a beef with another young man; as they were walking to the store her cousin seen the guy walking up the street that when he told my granddaughter’s father to run but he wasn’t aware that danger was up ahead when he did realize he took off running in which he was shot in the legs when he fell the guy stood over him in which he was shot twice in the head and a third in his mouth and the other bullets in his body ; he die three times but they didn’t give up . They were able to do reconstruction to his face ; he remembered very little but his memory is intact but it did left him paralyzed. Being paralyzed is a struggle because he get a lot of infection to his wounds .
This program is excellent and needs to be nation wide. The gun problem is worse in cities but truly it’s nation wide. I think adults who don’t work in a medical field would benefit too.
Most gun deaths are self inflicted, self defense and gang violence. The 400k deaths per year from medical malpractice isn't self inflicted, self defense or gang violence. But sure we have an inanimate object problem 😂
My Son was shot in the abdomen in 1989, it was a 22 caliber, it damaged his aorta, his left kidney was taken out and it hit his liver. he got around 110 IV and blood transfusions, these small bullets do kill, after going into cardiac arrest 4 times he ultimately lost his life at 10 Years old. Trauma surgeons worked really hard to save his life as well as the EMT and firefighters first to treat him. My Son had just gone over to play with a 9 year old who's mother was home and allowed this to happen by letting her son play with loaded guns. We were new to the neighborhood and no way I would have ever thought something like this would or could of happened, she had a master degree in nursing and didn't even call 911, she drove him 10 and a half miles in her truck to fire rescue. Please keep your guns locked up and do not let your children have any access to them.
Im so sorry. That's painful to hear. 😢
Thank you, it was very hard for a long time, but I'm at peace with it now but definitely blessed to have only had him for 10 years. Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved. He resides in my heart and surfaces sometimes and I still am able to smile thinking of some of the memories. He taught me so much. @@swayzy762
OMG I am so sorry.
Wow my condolences 🙏🏾
I hope she went to prison.
Wow is all i can say!! God bless these people in the healthcare field because y’all all play a vital role. And this video needs shared and watched by ALL!!!!
I got shot the person shot me with AR-15 the police officer that helped me saved My life thank you your My angel
AMEN 🙏🕊️🌹
Leftist buzzwords, vague on details. Sounds fabricated
AR15 huh? How convenient. Glad you made it.
I'm surprised the cop wasn't too busy hiding.
Doubt it was an AR-15.
I Appreciate all you surgeon’s for putting this together! You are all Heroes no matter the outcome I admire the work and effort you all give. God bless you all 🙏🏽 Thank you!!!
I worked in E/CC in VetMed and the things that’s bounce between human and animal are astonishing
This profound, remarkable documentary. This is up close. This is the third time I have watched this. Just portrayed so well.
Never met a violent gun in my life…. But people on the other hand…. Whew
Guns are tools of violence and should not be in the hands of the average American. Not everyone should have the right to own a gun.
Exactly my friend
If you're going to counteract the anti-gun people, you need to have a better understanding of their argument than that.
i have. a violent gun robbed me of my shoes one time, then slid its way into the woods.. never saw it again…
Your viewpoint is elementary level.
I have a murdered brother who.was beaten to death. Environmentally its just hard sometimes to be safe going to school. Violence is never the answer. And this hits hard.
Ive Been shot and survived... its a sad crazy world. I was helping a friend in a domestic. 😢. You cant stop living life or let it hinder u. I hope everyone stays safe and just be situationaly aware
The surgeon telling his own story about being shot really touched me🥹❤️❤️
In sept of 2021, my children’s father, my spouse of 8 years was shot 11+ times. I remember driving to where the shooting took place, and having such a great sense of relief that he was not going to die. It’s crazy, but god knew I needed something to hold on to.. I was driving alone, my children were in school & I had to make sure I held myself together & I drove myself to the scene & then the hospital… these doctors are miracle workers sure god too but these doctors man… they just don’t know how grateful I am for them & how grateful I am to say I didn’t have to take my then 5yo & 3yo to their fathers funeral.
Omg girl! My 16 year old was shot Sept 2021 her in Chicago in the Humboldt park neighborhood. When they called and told me he was on but being rushed to hospital, I had to drive past the place he was shot at 7 times hit once. He survived and is now 19. My love ❤
the first guy is the guy i always remember he payed for my tv my whole hospital stay when i got shot , because i was in a program to save teens from the streets in we did a tour at Temple hospital about gun shot victims in philly he remembered me i end up getting shot like 4 months later after the tour
So many folks you never met, care for you! We are praying for your physical and mental health, your family's peace of mind and for everyone, gun carrying or not, see that everyone's life is priceless and popping others is not an acceptable way to handle conflict or hatred! Put guns down!! From someone's ATL Grandma that loves life and you!!!!
time to change your lifestyle or simply your enviroment..
Repeated violent offenders are not being prosecuted instead they are let right back out on the streets with some ridiculous excuse for thier violent behavior, this is the case in Baltimore all of the time they literally have more rights than law-abiding citizens and easier access to firearms than law-abiding citizens.
This I know a man that lost his 16 year old son to a 17 year old that went on a 2 week rampage where he was arrested 7 days in after shooting at his ex girlfriend he was let go. Don't demand more gun laws when woke judges refuse to enforce the ones we have that actually make sense
Dr Amy…the replay on the drive home after work. I know you relate. I know you are good.
One group of society really needs to look in the mirror. They cause the most harm to them self. The volume of shootings is wild.
They're too busy blaming the white man
Yepp.
Welp I see more Caucasians doing shootings but they’re never publicized as much as black ppl.
Thank God for surgeons and all health care workers all over the world!
I agree the images of school shooting victims should be shown to the public. When my grandmother’s nephew and later her grandmother died, they laid them out on the kitchen table until a casket arrived for burial…three days. Many citizens of the United States will go their entire life without ever seeing a dead body, unless it’s been prepared by a funeral home and is under pink light. 😢
Crying right now. This is sad and inspiring all in one.
I have worked in trauma surgery myself for 20 years in Baltimore and I can definitely attest to everything that is being shown in this video. I have seen many patients die due to gunshot wounds and that is really depressing to say the least. No one deserves being shot, period! As an American and a nurse it is really disgusting that the Federal and State government are unwilling to do anything in the right direction.
The only thing that needs to be done is to bring back the family unit and family values and morals
And then the government will turn their guns on us as they have no resistance.
@@pinschrunnerthese ppl don't want to hear the truth or facts
I would never make it as a nurse let alone a trauma nurse so thank you for dedicating so many years to trauma. As for no one deserving to be shot, I have to disagree. Had I had my permit to carry, my rapist wouldn’t have gotten as far as he did. He nearly killed me.
No lady disarming Americans is not going to magically make violent criminals disappear ..
I mean,are drugs legal ? Do ya see alot of drug overdoses?
Why do you think banning guns will be different ? You've been programmed
God bless these doctors. It takes a special person ❤.
This people are angels❤
I am NYC EMS and it looks just like that when we come in with traumas.
Love yall trauma doctors snd nurses beautiful people doing a good job
Man this was an emotional watch for me especially having lost a family member to gun violence it just breaks my heart
there is no such thing as "gun violence", there's just violence.
If guns didn’t exist in America, this would be a documentary about knife wounds. The most pervasive, but treatable acute condition filling trauma centers today is moral decay.
absolutely correct!
If you believe this, you have a mental disorder---most likely a confluence of paranoia, lack of empathy, and hyper-religiosity.
@briananderson8428 you act like guns make people violent.
The damage guns do is on a different level. We get plenty of stabbings in Europe but the damage looks entirely different. Knives are very personal, you need to get up close to the victim and the range of destruction is much smaller than with guns. There's only a handful of mass stabbings, but mass shootings happen all the time. Guns and knives are not the same, and the only legitimate measure is the real world damage they cause.
@@wwondertwinguns may have longer range but the fact still remains that it isnt the guns that are the problem, its the society. Gang violence makes up the vast majority of gun violence deaths in america, period. Mass shootings are a very small percentage of the amount of people that are killed by guns every year. The guns are not the problem, people are.
I’ve lost 4 brothers to gun violence. My youngest on my birthday. I wish they were one of the lucky ones. I’m so grateful for the doctors that worked on them and the cops that scooped them and rushed them to the hospital. I miss them so much. I wish this epidemic ends. 😢
Pretty sure you meant street Monkeys...
Not being rude but they had to be gangbangers how do all 4 brothers die this way thats horrible 😢
@@dustynbrooks6505Probably Saving Private Ryan type situation.
@@dustynbrooks6505that’s very rude because I grew up in Chicago and a-lot of ppl die by being a innocent bystander. You guys really need to live outside your box for day or you wouldn’t t just be saying something so ignorant . Clearly y’all didn’t see this full video to know sometimes wrong place wrong time . A man was 8 years old shot by his neighbor. Was he a gang banger ? Pity the fool 🤦🏾♀️
I worked as a surgical tech in Texas in the 1990s same Ole stories sad sad sad and more sad
What a hauntingly beautiful documentary on gun violence and its path of destruction on everyone involved. Bless you all.
If the DA and Judges did their jobs properly ANYONE caught using a gun in ANY crime, regardless if it was fired or not, goes to prison. Not enough room? make more prisons. And age should not be a factor. If someone is set free after using a gun in a crime, they will more likely reoffend.
The world 🌎 needs peace and people working together not fighting against one another. God bless the medical professionals who do their best and save lives ❤️
I THINK THAT ITS LONG OVERDUE THAT WE QUIT SCAPEGOATING GUNS FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!
You cannot scapegoat an inanimate object. People are the problem, only people, no scapegoats.
@jillspence7227 FOR SOME REASON......YOU DON'T SEEM TO HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE MEANING OF THE WORD----- SCAPEGOAT!!!!!! I THINK THAT YOU NEED TO GO LOOK UP THE WORD---- SCAPEGOAT--- IN THE DICTIONARY!!!!!!
It’s the human. Not the tool.

Drunk driver blames the person, they don't call it car violence
Yep people are idiots! Just like knife or hammer violence.
People violence
Assault driving
Yes they do just because you don't care about it doesn't mean everyone else should not.
Alcohol related violence
Im so glad this doc got made god bless all of the trauma docs in every hospital in high gun crime areas! God bless all families affected by gun violence! Be strong!
Change IS coming! Just hang in there!
Bless the film makers for this doc! It needed to be done for sure!
Im not even an American citizen but jeez i can feel every single loss every family has had due to gun violence!
It truly shocks me how extreme the numbers are in many many cities & towns across all states of the amount of victims of gun violence each year, shocking & devastating numbers, its gotta change!
Somethings gotta give! Its not right to live in perpetual fear of a stray bullet or being shot up at school & even theatres/ the movies are getting shot up! Its horrifically disgusting how this has been allowed to go on for soo long!🤦🏼♀️
I pray for all of americans who live in bad areas & have to deal with gun violence & gun crime most days/nights in their communities!! Bless u all! 🙏🏻🤗
Stay safe & be good to each other, love one another & dont turn to guns to solve ur problems! THERE ARE NO WINNERS IN THAT GAME!
Watching this doc has opened my eyes for sure, people are fed up with it.
Lets hope the nxt 10-20 yrs gun laws etc can change to the extent where living is the norm instead of hearing gunshots each & every night/day in ur neighbourhood!
Chow & Peace Out y’all’ ❤✌🏻🙏🏻🤗💗
It’s not guns that kill people it’s people!!! I know more people that were killed with knives. I do not personally know anyone killed by a gun and I grew up in NYC. Now I have had over 20 friends die from fentanyl!!!! How come lawmakers aren’t taking stronger actions against that, they have actually gotten weaker against it. Do you know people die 4 times the amount from fentanyl deaths than guns….. just the other day there was 6 people killed in Australia by a knife. People die and that’s just life. Stop blaming guns!! I can go kill hundreds of people with my car and will you outlaw cars??? No. Just because you don’t like guns doesn’t mean they should be taken away. Most gun crimes are from gangs how about talk another black gangs killing each other…. Nooooo can’t bring that up because it’s racism well BS it’s called reality and people to scared to call others out on there crap. By the way I would love to know what country your from.
I believe you can grow up anywhere, and you can be whatever you choose in a positive way
Sign in the morgue that said “babies only”…..gut wrenching
I've decided to not have children after seeing that!
@@robertsandberg2246 I’d strongly dissuade you from that after recently having my first. But obviously your choice!
@@HookechoandlineEveryone tells me I'm wrong for not wanting to bring children into this world where they can get hurt so easily.
I was bullied throughout my school years and continue to be now. I don't want to continue that cycle. I don't want to give anyone any child of mine to hurt.
Repeated violent offenders are not being prosecuted they literally have more rights than law-abiding citizens.
My heart BLEEDS for these gunshot victims. See, they weren’t born paralyzed, and so they are going to miss walking all they lives. Heartbreaking.
Jaleel. I'm so sorry...who the hell shoots at an 8 year old child??
Too damn many.
People need to take responsibility for what they do and stop blaming the object or tool.
It was 2018 when my son was senselessly shot and killed. The doctors did everything they could but the girl who I believe set him up wasted time and called me instead of 911. If those people haven’t lost a child to gun violence, if they aren’t a trauma surgeon, how can they say that? I’m not against RESPONSIBLE gun owners, but who ever talks about the circulation of stolen firearms? The punk who killed my son used a stolen firearm. And those saying guns don’t kill, people do…most of these guys are cowards! Pulling a trigger is much easier than getting up close and personal to stab or physically killing someone. Guns by all means ARE a problem when the wrong people have them!
Sorry for your loss. I have a 15yr old boy n a 21yr old girl n that’s my biggest fear. I can’t imagine the pain n agony. May your son get justice and stay blessed you have an angel 😇 on your shoulders now. 😢 💚🙏🏽
People are violent ! Not the gun, example knife violence , brick violence , baseball bat violence , gun violence.
But they keep letting repeat offenders out of jail
I’m so sorry for your loss. I guess the heart of the problem is nobody knows how to solve the problem…some say take them away, lock them up. Some say more good people carrying guns will allow us to prevent others from being shot because we shoot the shooter. Some say address mental health. Some say address education.
I don’t know the answer, but I personally choose to carry a gun so that I at least have a chance to protect my babies.
One day, I hope we clean this world up enough so I don’t feel the need to do that. But so many selfish people in the world willing to take those we hold precious to us.
May God bless you, and give you peace. I hope we find an answer someday, for your son.
@@Hookechoandline I think our problem with guns is we never, as civilians should have ever been allowed to have guns in the first place. Fixing it is too late. The black market has so many stolen weapons there’s no way to get control now. Mental illness is a factor as well. I also carry for protection. But I’m a 52 year old mother. I’m not out here trying to hurt anyone. And thank you. Life changing in the worst way
4,500 dead due to drownings in 2022 in 2022, of which 461 were ages 1-4 years old. Number of children lost in school shootings in 2022, 46.

They need this program in Texas
I praise all doctors and nursing they are strong people if i see some one bleeding i get weak feel like i am going to pass out
A man by the name of Maj Toure founded Black Guns Matter & he is doing a phenomenal job educating urban America about guns & legal gun ownership. Unfortunately like every thing else there’s always going to be a small group that will do things the wrong way.
Superb doc. Important work. Kudos to the practitioners and the tellers of their stories. And of course our hearts go out to the victims.
When me & my forever lover were 13 we were in the same neighborhood one night we were Chillen with our crowd & we happen to get into a bad shoot out that resulted in the death of my sweetheart I got hit in the leg & the chest but was blessed enough to make it with just a permanent limp on my leg , I just wish my Cassie woulda still made it tho this was back in 1995.
One word RESPECT. I think there's something in the water and the trails they put in the sky is causing people to act violence as well as the culture in the music in the films.
