Wow and to you man.
Yup, in the belly of the beast, kings county hospitals trauma center is a busy ER to begin with but as far as penetrating trauma (shootings and stabbings mostly) theyre the busiest Er in the country.

I dont see a lot of the trauma we get all the crazy medicla stuff since were a stroke center and have one of the few theraputic and diagnostic cath labs in brooklyn. prety scary that in a borough of over 1 million people we have only 3 level 1 trauma centers and 2 cath labs.

maybe the thinking is "if we don't have enough trauma centers, then the craziness will just go away". LOL

that seems to be the thinking around here anyway. ride the bus the beatings and shooting won't happen if you just keep riding the bus. We had a string of violent attacks on our bus system. more then normal even. the word they put out was just keep riding it will go away essentially. yeah right.

our city mayor is still somewhat recovering from being beaten with a tire iron. he stepped in to save some lady and the punk went to town on him. at sentencing the kid said i didn't know it was the mayor. he's lucky he didn't get shot. i think we've had 5 cops shot in the last year.
as much as i hate cops, i have nothing but respect for the guys who work here. even the traffic guys are pretty cool. i've gotten some serious tickets reduced to warnings.

we have nightly murders in our little slice of heaven. it's nothing to be riding to work and have to detour because the body is still on the street in the bag.

We have had a few bus drivers attacked here as well, a few weeks back I took care of a 70 yr old lady who was mugged and was stabbed in the arm. We did all the police and hosp police reports and figured ok same ole same ole and they wont catch the skells. the lady came back to have her stitches removed and told me they caught the guy, granted he will prolly get a slap on the wrist and be back out there but at least they got him. Plus I got to se ehe rwound afterwards and I must say I did a damn fine job sewing it back up. Took me over an hr to do because a few muscles were damaged.
