What Its Like To Be A Doctor At A Hospital That's Treated Children In Three School Shootings
As gunshot victims began to arrive at Littleton Adventist Hospital after a horrifying shooting Tuesday at a local charter school, doctors and nurses were ready. They'd trained for situations like this, but for some staff members it was their third time receiving children wounded in a school shooting.
On Tuesday, he was heading into a meeting when the hospital learned a shooting had taken place at STEM School Highlands Ranch, about two miles away. Staff was notified to expect multiple victims, a command center was set up, and the hospital went on lockdown to control who came in and out, Elliott said.
"We are rather resilient, and it makes staff just perform at their most superb level," he said."The staff yesterday was just incredible."
