    A trauma surgeon who was on duty last week, taking care of Parkland victims, describes -- in graphic detail -- what bullets from an AR-15 do to the human body. Difficult to read. Important to read. https://www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/553937/?__twitter_impression=true …

        This should be the follow up article - let everyone know we have restrictions on federal funding for gun violence research. "In 2016, more than 100 medical organizations signed a letter to Congress asking to lift the Dickey Amendment." #EndDickeyAmendmenthttps://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2018/02/gun-violence-public-health/553430/ …

        Yes, you're right. I read the article earlier today and it made me so upset/sad that I couldn't read it a second time and forgot that detail.

        I don't have a final take on how the gun problem should be resolved, but the last part of the quote is not a medical judgement; it's a public policy judgement. Opine away, as everyone has a right to do, but it's off to cloak it in scrubs.https://twitter.com/Atul_Gawande/status/966853456052006912 …

        Public health is a thing. The military ammunition fired by the AR-15 affects that thing. An MPH isn't awarded for opinions. Knock it off with "cloak."

        And making policy is a thing. Odd to hear "Knock it off with 'cloak'" from a cat in a box.

        Fair enough. Doctors can still be doctors in the public sphere, and their doctorishness should affect policy RE: public health.

        As doctors, we should not only speak out on how gun violence is a public health issue, but also amplify the call to end restrictions on federal funding for gun violence research. I would love to see medical professionals tweeting #EndDickeyAmendment.

        Can't find it now in the thread. I was responding to claim that AR-15 does special types of damage to body that others don't.

        Other rifles use larger bullets, cause a hell of a lot more damage than AR-15s. Also, the doctor didn't say what the damage is like when a person is shot multiple times with a handgun. Anecdotal, apples and oranges comparison.

        Read claim that AR-15 does special damage to victim that doesn't leave much chance or survival compared to other weapons. Is BS.
