Someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane. Half of the articles in Annals of Internal Medicine are pushing for gun control. Most upsetting, however, the medical community seems to have consulted NO ONE but themselves.

No surgeon ever wants to disappoint her patients. We take our promises very seriously. These delays and cancellations are honestly for the greater good, and each decision is undertaken thoughtfully and individually.
Every patient getting frustrating news that their elective surgery is postponed should know it was their surgeon - not an admin or bureaucrat - that made the final call. You should have the peace of mind knowing I reviewed your case and said it was ok.

This. Integrity is more important than knowledge or skills. I can teach what they need to know about patient care or how to do an operation. I can’t teach integrity, self-motivation, industriousness, or compassion. They must come to residency with those attributes.

Excellent response to dismissive comments by someone who opined that
@HarborUCLA
staff were shocked to care for a celebrity, b/c they treat “poor/undocumented” pts. Trauma teams strive to provide excellent care to everyone, every time w/o interest in insurance or ability to pay.

We are pleased that there appears to be motion on the firearms issue. This is a first step to addressing this public health crisis. Surgeons are on the front lines caring for these patients, and are leading the call for actionable interventions.
We give our support to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (S. 2938) being considered in the Senate today. It’s the first significant legislation in nearly 30 years to address firearm violence, an important step to making our communities safer.
