It would be a “rare” night at Baltimore’s R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center if they didn’t treat a patient with a gunshot wound, nurse Heidi Halterman says. NBC News’ Gabe Gutierrez takes us inside the facility – the nation’s only freestanding trauma hospital – on a Saturday night. Staff detail their frustration at witnessing America’s worsening gun violence crisis up close, and describe the race to save lives. The hardest part of their job, they say, is having to tell a mother that their son didn’t make it. “It doesn’t get easier,” Dr. Tom Scalea says. “It gets worse.” Scalea says he’s had to have that conversation more times than he wants to remember. “It makes me sad that in the United States of America, this is the best we think we can do,” he says.

Who or what created this condition? Once we are real about the root cause than we can repair from the root. Who or what created these conditions in the U.S?
Yeah, it's pretty rough in Baltimore.
University is the Best Hospital in Bmore. The docs and nurses took great care of me and my premature baby. I commend the staff in shock trama and I pray not only for the victims and their families, but for the doctors and nurses mental health and dealing with death day in day out. Lastly its heart warming yet heart breaking that they have to constantly pray over these ppl after death. Prayers for my Hometown
Stop treating the black ones. That will lessen the work load by 90%.
There is never a reason to shoot someone? I can think of a lot of good reasons.
Why do you think that is? Having more gunshot victims? Simple answer. Too many guns in circulation! Ban guns!
Guns are not violent
👨🏿 are
Democrat run cities
44 Americans shot by other Americans each day. 320 mass shootings so far this year. The ONLY country on Earth that has school shootings.
American parents protest at school meetings about? A: School shootings B: Masks.
The US constitution has already been amended 27 times and as easy to amend as abortion law.
There are guns all around the world but mass shootings don't happen all around the world. The problem is Americans.
Cop probably did it.
This is a black male violence problem that the news media refuses to address. The black male commits 50%of the murders in this country and represents 6% of the population. The news media won't tell the truth. They'd rather blame it on guns. Like blaming a hammer.
Baltimore is a very dangerous City and managed Government
2 sheep with masks on
The child doesn't make guns, society won't loan that child $1 billion but they won't pushback on him/her getting all kinds of guns. We can't get money but we can surely get guns, HOW IS THAT SMART?? I'm going to do a documentary on the following: how guns are made, where are the guns shipped to, how guns are bought, who buys the guns and how are guns traced/not traced. This has nothing to do with parenting, it has everything to do with a society that hates each other and allows this madness to continue nonstop. People hate me because I'm black, they want me dead, they love when black people are killed. We are going to deal with these problems, gun violence is making a whole lot of people a whole lot of money 🤑🤑. I'm going to get a whole lot of money by speaking out clearly about the stupidity behind every argument for not better regulating guns. Because you (xevious2501) gave the standard, weak solution to stopping gun violence I can spend the next year working on a documentary to explain gun violence, THANK YOU. Now I gotta get to work!

As a compassionate person that owns guns, I am more than willing to give up some convienance(s) if it will save one life. The problem is, there are too many gun owners that are not willing to give up a single convienance even if it would save 1000 lives.
Fatherless Democrats doin the shootin's. You know what Republicans are doing? Working for a living so the Government has money to create Fatherless Democrats. Irony

When you defund the police to take away the city safety. this is what you get. Sounds like Baltimore needs to fix the city.
maryland has state requirements for permits for purchase, registration, permit for ccw, permit for open carry, an AWB, magazine restrictions, background checks for private sales, and red flag laws. tell me please. what's not on this list that they are pushing for would stop these crimes?
Humans beings become monsters and extremists in everything..
Liberal violence is disgusting
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. in the early 2k's People chose to spare the rod. and this is the end result.
Great, keep up the reality of people being able to view this. It matters to not be able to play the out of sight out of mind game. The more times these stories are available the more often it might brake through and change a mind in the right choice category 🤔
Thanks blm for making violence the norm
Aug 7 2019. Amnesty international issues Global warning to those visiting the US. Exercise caution and have a contingency plan due to gun violence.
i am a taço
They don't have a gun problem they have a…….problem
My heart, prayers and thoughts go out to ALL THE COURAGEOUS MEN & WOMEN WHO PASSED AND WHO SERVE! Thank you
