I've been an #ER physician in #Canada for fifteen years and I can count on one hand the number of patients I have seen who have come in wounded by gunshots. I had to go to the US as a trainee to learn how to manage them. School shootings are a power & policy problem.

Lorayne is an amazing person. It was an absolute privilege to be her surgeon and participate in her care @RushMedical @RushCancer @RushSurgery #endcancer
When Lorayne Wright’s persistent stomachache turned out to be #PancreaticCancer, Rush stepped in to help. Thanks to her expert team, she was able to celebrate a milestone and will share her story at Rush’s Cancer Survivors Day on Sunday. #CancerSurvivor
