Lake Martin Community Hospital treated 15 teenagers with gunshot wounds.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - In the event of a mass shooting, healthcare staff must quickly prepare for an influx of patients in their emergency room.
“Unfortunately, we’ve gotten very good at managing injuries that likely would have only been seen on the battlefield,” Dr. Williamson said.to what no hospital staff should ever have to witness. “It’s very traumatic in a healthcare setting, in an emergency room setting, when you have one gunshot wound come through, but when you have 15, and they’re all teenagers, our staff has been through a lot,” said Ivy Creek Healthcare Marketing Director Heidi Smith.
Six of the Lake Martin Community Hospitals victims were able to be treated and released. However, nine needed to be taken to larger hospitals.
