#Thisismylane– Episode 14 If you work in the ED, you’ve likely seen your fair share of victims of gun violence. Though mass shootings have brought this issue into the public eye, firearm violence has been a public issue in our country for decades. In this episode, you’ll hear some powerful stories from providers about their experiences with people killed and injured by firearms. Then, we talk with researcher and expert, Dr. Garen Wintemute, about trends he’s seen, and discuss how we, as physicians and medical providers, can be part of the solution. Clearly this is a charged and complex topic. Let’s respectfully share our thoughts on how we can help prevent gun violence. We want to know!

The controversial hashtag #ThisISMyLane is taking social media users inside bloody trauma centers and the gun violence debate.This week’s stories: How can you tell if you have a cold or if it’s the flu? How insulin price spikes are causing a global crisis. And the CDC sets up a task force to investigate an unusual illness that’s paralyzing kids across the U.S. For less lucky kids, the Make A Wish foundation shells out big bucks--with measured health benefits for the wee ones. Hooray!And Robin’s current health obsession: Not all air-filtering masks are created equal. (Get an N95, folks!) Cambridge face mask: https://cambridgemask.com.

This week doctors from all over America took to social media with the hashtag #ThisIsMyLane (or #ThisIsOurLane). They sent pictures of themselves in blood-drenched scrubs and shared stories of treating victims of gun violence. Much of this was in response to the NRA after a tweet they sent last Wednesday. Today on the show we talk to Dr. Brendan Campbell – a pediatric surgeon at Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford, CT. He has treated victims of gun violence for more than a decade. This week, he and his fellow colleagues released a new paper in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons recommending new ways to think about gun safety. Not only as doctors who have seen the damage that a gun can do, but because they own guns themselves. This episode is brought to you by Merrill Lynch. Get started today at ML.com/you.
