US gun killings are a public health problem

Trauma surgeon Joseph V Sakran says after the Uvalde faculty bloodbath, being silent on gun violence is being complicit.

What occurred in Uvalde, Texas was the slaughter of youngsters. Once I heard the information, I first thought of these households who had misplaced their youngsters. Then I thought of what we, as trauma surgeons and healthcare professionals, need to do day by day in cities all throughout America: to try to clarify to mums and dads why their little one isn't coming residence once more.

On the age of 17, I, too, was shot within the throat and almost killed. So after I heard about Uvalde, I considered my family and what they should have gone by means of when the surgeon walked out to inform them their son had been shot.

There are trauma surgeons on this nation delivering such devastating information to households day by day. And that is unacceptable.

This isn't a Democratic drawback. This isn't a Republican drawback.

That is an American drawback – a uniquely American public well being drawback.

Trauma surgeon and advocate for gun violence prevention Dr Joseph V Sakran explains why he believes these staying silent on the problem of gun regulation reform after the Uvalde faculty bloodbath are complicit.
