“A natural extension of working in public hospitals is to witness gun violence as a medical and public health issue, before it is anything else. Framed in this manner, the injury to the human body, whether accidental, self-inflicted or otherwise, becomes just as preventable as the small pox and diphtheria that took lives in generations past. It is inspiring to see medical students and physicians, decorated war veterans among them, come together to carry on a shared goal: to save lives."
