Fowler, 41, knew he’d been hit in the ankle and couldn’t run. He hid under the stage until the gunfire ended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“I knew my foot was completely useless,” said Fowler, a firefighter from Lake Havasu City, Ariz., and a father of three.

He also will need rehabilitation and follow-up visits with a specialist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Fowler has a Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO through his job, but he said he doesn’t know how much he will have to pay out of his own pocket for the care he is receiving. In an era of higher deductibles and limited choice of in-network doctors, however, he knows he could face significant medical bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">His insurance card says his individual deductible is $5,000 and his coinsurance 20 percent. He said he didn’t know how much his health plan would cover for out-of-state care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“Medical expenses are astronomical these days,” Fowler said from his bed at Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center here. “It’s a mountain that just doesn’t seem like it’s gonna be climbable, but we are gonna do our best.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_361805\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-361805\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN-520x347.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Kurt-Fowler-photo-KHN.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kurt Fowler looks at an X-ray of his ankle as he sits in a hospital bed at Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center. Fowler, a firefighter from Arizona, got shot in the ankle and said he expects to be out of work for months as he recovers. \u003ccite>(Anna Gorman/Kaiser Health News)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">As hundreds of survivors struggle to recover emotionally and physically from the Oct. 1 attack, they are beginning to come to terms with the financial toll of the violence perpetrated against them. Even those who are insured could face untold costs in a city they were only visiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The total costs of medical care alone could reach into the tens of millions of dollars, said Garen Wintemute, who researches gun violence at the University of California-Davis. And that is just the beginning. Many survivors will be out of work for months, if they are able to return at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“We really don’t have a good handle on the intangible costs of something like this … the ripple effects on family and friends and neighborhoods when a large number of people have been shot,” Wintemute said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">More than 100,000 people are shot every year in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That generates about $2.8 billion per year in emergency room and inpatient charges alone, according to a recent study in \u003cspan class=\"s1\">Health Affairs\u003c/span>. The average emergency room bill for an individual gunshot victim is $5,254 and the average inpatient charge is $95,887, according to the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The U.S. senators representing Nevada, Dean Heller and Catherine Cortez Masto, wrote a \u003cspan class=\"s1\">letter \u003c/span>to America’s Health Insurance Plans, an industry trade group, and CEO Scott Serota of Blue Cross Blue Shield requesting help with out-of-network bills, copayments and deductibles for the Las Vegas shooting victims. Many of the people who were shot had traveled from other states, including California, Iowa and Tennessee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">California and some states protect consumers from such bills, but Nevada is not one of them, said Sabrina Corlette, a research professor at Georgetown University’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms. But Corlette said most insurers allow patients to request exceptions based on the circumstances. “In this situation, I imagine most insurers are going to want to be compassionate and work something out,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The victims and their families aren’t the only ones who will be affected financially by the mass shooting. Taxpayers, too, pick up much of the tab for the health care costs associated with gun violence because many patients are covered by Medicaid and Medicare, two government insurance programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">And hospitals will also be on the hook for some of the care for patients who don’t have insurance. Hospitals in Las Vegas quickly mobilized to treat the hundreds of victims who were streaming in that night, and they don’t know yet how much of the care will be reimbursed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">At Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center, staff treated more than 200 patients. Sunrise plans to file insurance claims and will “be extremely sensitive to the financial status” of patients when considering their out-of-pocket portions, a spokeswoman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Valley Hospital Medical Center is encouraging patients to complete paperwork for a state program called Nevada Victims of Violent Crime, which would pay their balances. And Dignity Health’s St. Rose Dominican said it will bill insurers and accept donations but will not require payment from victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">California victims can also get help with medical expenses and income loss from the \u003cspan class=\"s1\">California \u003c/span>Victim Compensation Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">In addition, a GoFundMe account started by a Clark County commissioner has raised $11 million thus far. And many survivors have individual GoFundMe accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Kurt Fowler’s GoFundMe page has raised about $39,000. Fowler said he doesn’t have disability insurance so he will rely on the funds to help cover his expenses while he is recovering and missing work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Michael Caster, 41, who lives in Indio, Calif., has a GoFundMe account that has raised about $26,000 so far. He’s paralyzed from the waist down after a bullet lodged in his spine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">He works in human resources at a California hospital and has a job-sponsored policy with Anthem Blue Cross. “I’ve never really dealt with injury,” he said. “I don’t want to be stuck with a bunch of bills.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">His bills could rise further: That day, he was scheduled to be flown to a rehabilitation center in Colorado for people with spinal cord injuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_361804\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 770px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-361804\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Frost-photo-KHN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Frost-photo-KHN.jpg 770w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Frost-photo-KHN-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Frost-photo-KHN-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Frost-photo-KHN-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Frost-photo-KHN-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Frost-photo-KHN-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mary Moreland gets an update on her daughter from neurosurgeon Keith Blum at Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center.

Fowler, 41, knew he’d been hit in the ankle and couldn’t run. He hid under the stage until the gunfire ended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“I knew my foot was completely useless,” said Fowler, a firefighter from Lake Havasu City, Ariz., and a father of three.

Even those who are insured could face untold costs in a city they were only visiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The total costs of medical care alone could reach into the tens of millions of dollars, said Garen Wintemute, who researches gun violence at the University of California-Davis. And that is just the beginning. Many survivors will be out of work for months, if they are able to return at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“We really don’t have a good handle on the intangible costs of something like this … the ripple effects on family and friends and neighborhoods when a large number of people have been shot,” Wintemute said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">More than 100,000 people are shot every year in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That generates about $2.8 billion per year in emergency room and inpatient charges alone, according to a recent study in \u003cspan class=\"s1\">Health Affairs\u003c/span>. The average emergency room bill for an individual gunshot victim is $5,254 and the average inpatient charge is $95,887, according to the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The U.S. senators representing Nevada, Dean Heller and Catherine Cortez Masto, wrote a \u003cspan class=\"s1\">letter \u003c/span>to America’s Health Insurance Plans, an industry trade group, and CEO Scott Serota of Blue Cross Blue Shield requesting help with out-of-network bills, copayments and deductibles for the Las Vegas shooting victims. Many of the people who were shot had traveled from other states, including California, Iowa and Tennessee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">California and some states protect consumers from such bills, but Nevada is not one of them, said Sabrina Corlette, a research professor at Georgetown University’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms. But Corlette said most insurers allow patients to request exceptions based on the circumstances. “In this situation, I imagine most insurers are going to want to be compassionate and work something out,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The victims and their families aren’t the only ones who will be affected financially by the mass shooting. Taxpayers, too, pick up much of the tab for the health care costs associated with gun violence because many patients are covered by Medicaid and Medicare, two government insurance programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">And hospitals will also be on the hook for some of the care for patients who don’t have insurance. Hospitals in Las Vegas quickly mobilized to treat the hundreds of victims who were streaming in that night, and they don’t know yet how much of the care will be reimbursed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">At Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center, staff treated more than 200 patients. Sunrise plans to file insurance claims and will “be extremely sensitive to the financial status” of patients when considering their out-of-pocket portions, a spokeswoman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Valley Hospital Medical Center is encouraging patients to complete paperwork for a state program called Nevada Victims of Violent Crime, which would pay their balances. And Dignity Health’s St. Rose Dominican said it will bill insurers and accept donations but will not require payment from victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">California victims can also get help with medical expenses and income loss from the \u003cspan class=\"s1\">California \u003c/span>Victim Compensation Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">In addition, a GoFundMe account started by a Clark County commissioner has raised $11 million thus far. And many survivors have individual GoFundMe accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Kurt Fowler’s GoFundMe page has raised about $39,000. Fowler said he doesn’t have disability insurance so he will rely on the funds to help cover his expenses while he is recovering and missing work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Michael Caster, 41, who lives in Indio, Calif., has a GoFundMe account that has raised about $26,000 so far. He’s paralyzed from the waist down after a bullet lodged in his spine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">He works in human resources at a California hospital and has a job-sponsored policy with Anthem Blue Cross. “I’ve never really dealt with injury,” he said. “I don’t want to be stuck with a bunch of bills.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">His bills could rise further: That day, he was scheduled to be flown to a rehabilitation center in Colorado for people with spinal cord injuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_361804\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 770px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-361804\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Frost-photo-KHN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Frost-photo-KHN.jpg 770w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Frost-photo-KHN-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Frost-photo-KHN-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Frost-photo-KHN-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Frost-photo-KHN-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/10/Frost-photo-KHN-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mary Moreland gets an update on her daughter from neurosurgeon Keith Blum at Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center.

Seattle and Nashville, among others, also are in \u003ca href=\"http://www.amtrauma.org/?page=FindTraumaCenter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this category\u003c/a>, according to the American Trauma Society, a professional and advocacy organization focused on improving trauma care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Casey Nolan, a hospital consultant and managing director of Navigant Consulting in Washington, D.C., said what matters most is not the number of high-level centers, but the degrees of coordination across the area’s medical network, including the first responders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s how well integrated the care is and whether there is a triage system to get patients to the right place in the right time,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Makes Up The Network\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The highest-level trauma centers are equipped and staffed around-the-clock to provide care for patients who suffer from traumatic injuries such as gunshot wounds, falls and car accidents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The designation “trauma center” is the result of a validation process at the state or local level. Centers are categorized by Level I, II or III, for instance, in keeping with nationally accepted standards. Centers can also seek additional approval from the American College of Surgeons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the country, there are \u003ca href=\"http://www.amtrauma.org/?page=FindTraumaCenters.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">217 Level I trauma centers\u003c/a>, up from 198 in 2012, according to the trauma society. These centers must see at least 1,200 trauma patients a year and have general surgeons and other specialists immediately available at the facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are another 310 Level II centers that face similar staffing rules, but with fewer education and training requirements. Level III centers have emergency medical staff, but will stabilize severely injured patients and often transport them to higher-level trauma centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades, the hospital industry viewed trauma care as a money-losing proposition because of the high costs of keeping doctors and nurses on standby 24 hours a day. Trauma centers, particularly those in inner cities, tended to attract more patients without health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in recent years, hospitals have been competing to get the designation as a way to increase profits, in part because trauma centers enhance demand for surgery and ancillary services like CT scans. In addition, a trauma designation can boost a facility’s overall reputation, Nolan added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Trauma had gotten a bad rap,” explained Nolan. “But in suburban locations, where more people have insurance, you can do pretty well on trauma.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some hospitals also began charging a fee — known as a “trauma activation” fee — to help pay for the extra staffing and equipment trauma units require.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those fees could range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars on patients’ bills, Nolan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trauma Care In Las Vegas\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the burgeoning population of Las Vegas and surrounding Clark County, which more than doubled to 2.2 million in the past 25 years, University Medical Center has been Las Vegas’ only Level I trauma center since 1992.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The metro area includes two other lower-level trauma centers. Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center in Las Vegas is a Level II facility and St. Rose Dominican Hospital in nearby Henderson, Nev., is a Level III.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even the idea of expanding Las Vegas’ trauma network has stirred controversy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, a state agency rejected applications by three hospitals in the Las Vegas area to be designated as Level III trauma centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HCA, the national, for-profit chain that owned two of these facilities, said adding trauma centers would help ensure quicker care to patients in the growing region. The company has made adding trauma centers a strategy across the country and has met resistance from existing centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But opponents argued HCA was motivated by the opportunity to boost profits. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.tampabay.com/news/health/how-hca-turned-trauma-into-a-money-maker/2169280\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tampa Bay Times\u003c/a> reported last year that the hospital chain charged significantly higher “activation fees” than other hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents also countered that adding trauma centers would affect University Medical Center’s ability to provide quality care and train doctors. Some experts say it could diminish the number of patients seen at each center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because the more trauma patients a center deals with annually, the better the results, studies show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you can bring all the patients to one place, then those surgeons become really good at dealing with trauma, instead of spreading it out [around a number of facilities],” said Bill Bullard, senior vice president with the Abaris Group, a California-based consulting firm that advises hospitals on emergency care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ian Weston, executive director of the American Trauma Society, said the trauma system worked well in Las Vegas, which is a credit to ambulances and other first responders and their ability to triage patients to hospitals across the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seriously ill patients have the best outcomes when treated at a Level I trauma center, said David Callaway, a professor of emergency medicine at the Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C. But “when you have 500-plus casualties and 58 dead … if all the patients went to a Level I, mortality would not be improved, because they would be completely overwhelmed,” Callaway added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bullard agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In theory, the more centers you have the more people you have to deal with injuries.

Seattle and Nashville, among others, also are in \u003ca href=\"http://www.amtrauma.org/?page=FindTraumaCenter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this category\u003c/a>, according to the American Trauma Society, a professional and advocacy organization focused on improving trauma care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Casey Nolan, a hospital consultant and managing director of Navigant Consulting in Washington, D.C., said what matters most is not the number of high-level centers, but the degrees of coordination across the area’s medical network, including the first responders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s how well integrated the care is and whether there is a triage system to get patients to the right place in the right time,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Makes Up The Network\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The highest-level trauma centers are equipped and staffed around-the-clock to provide care for patients who suffer from traumatic injuries such as gunshot wounds, falls and car accidents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The designation “trauma center” is the result of a validation process at the state or local level. Centers are categorized by Level I, II or III, for instance, in keeping with nationally accepted standards. Centers can also seek additional approval from the American College of Surgeons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the country, there are \u003ca href=\"http://www.amtrauma.org/?page=FindTraumaCenters.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">217 Level I trauma centers\u003c/a>, up from 198 in 2012, according to the trauma society. These centers must see at least 1,200 trauma patients a year and have general surgeons and other specialists immediately available at the facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are another 310 Level II centers that face similar staffing rules, but with fewer education and training requirements. Level III centers have emergency medical staff, but will stabilize severely injured patients and often transport them to higher-level trauma centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades, the hospital industry viewed trauma care as a money-losing proposition because of the high costs of keeping doctors and nurses on standby 24 hours a day. Trauma centers, particularly those in inner cities, tended to attract more patients without health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in recent years, hospitals have been competing to get the designation as a way to increase profits, in part because trauma centers enhance demand for surgery and ancillary services like CT scans. In addition, a trauma designation can boost a facility’s overall reputation, Nolan added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Trauma had gotten a bad rap,” explained Nolan. “But in suburban locations, where more people have insurance, you can do pretty well on trauma.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some hospitals also began charging a fee — known as a “trauma activation” fee — to help pay for the extra staffing and equipment trauma units require.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those fees could range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars on patients’ bills, Nolan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trauma Care In Las Vegas\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the burgeoning population of Las Vegas and surrounding Clark County, which more than doubled to 2.2 million in the past 25 years, University Medical Center has been Las Vegas’ only Level I trauma center since 1992.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The metro area includes two other lower-level trauma centers. Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center in Las Vegas is a Level II facility and St. Rose Dominican Hospital in nearby Henderson, Nev., is a Level III.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even the idea of expanding Las Vegas’ trauma network has stirred controversy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, a state agency rejected applications by three hospitals in the Las Vegas area to be designated as Level III trauma centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HCA, the national, for-profit chain that owned two of these facilities, said adding trauma centers would help ensure quicker care to patients in the growing region. The company has made adding trauma centers a strategy across the country and has met resistance from existing centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But opponents argued HCA was motivated by the opportunity to boost profits. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.tampabay.com/news/health/how-hca-turned-trauma-into-a-money-maker/2169280\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tampa Bay Times\u003c/a> reported last year that the hospital chain charged significantly higher “activation fees” than other hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents also countered that adding trauma centers would affect University Medical Center’s ability to provide quality care and train doctors. Some experts say it could diminish the number of patients seen at each center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because the more trauma patients a center deals with annually, the better the results, studies show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you can bring all the patients to one place, then those surgeons become really good at dealing with trauma, instead of spreading it out [around a number of facilities],” said Bill Bullard, senior vice president with the Abaris Group, a California-based consulting firm that advises hospitals on emergency care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ian Weston, executive director of the American Trauma Society, said the trauma system worked well in Las Vegas, which is a credit to ambulances and other first responders and their ability to triage patients to hospitals across the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seriously ill patients have the best outcomes when treated at a Level I trauma center, said David Callaway, a professor of emergency medicine at the Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C. But “when you have 500-plus casualties and 58 dead … if all the patients went to a Level I, mortality would not be improved, because they would be completely overwhelmed,” Callaway added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bullard agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In theory, the more centers you have the more people you have to deal with injuries.

It was a true epidemic on the highway, Wintemute says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we mobilized. We recognized the problem, we put smart people in charge, and we gave them money to do research,” he said. “Policymakers asked for recommendations, and turned them into new policy and regulation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates pushed car manufacturers to install airbags; cars were re-engineered to make them safer. Since then, Wintemute says motor vehicle death rates plummeted 60 percent, even though Americans are driving more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With firearm violence, we've done exactly the opposite,” he says. “We have repeatedly, consciously, deliberately turned our back on the problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wintemute thinks the reason is race politics. Gun violence is seen as a problem that mainly affects young African-American men killed on city streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re people not like policymakers,” he says. “There’s a difference in age and ethnicity. And so it’s easy not to take action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, gun suicides far outnumber gun homicides. More middle-aged white men die from self-inflicted gunshot wounds than men of color who die in gun homicides. Wintemute points this out when he meets with lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These people look just like you, Senator,” he says he tells them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>Wintemute says more research is needed to understand what the risk factors and patterns of gun violence are and what kinds of interventions work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently,\u003ca href=\"http://www.drsforamerica.org/press-releases/over-2000-physicians-urge-congress-to-end-the-ban-on-cdc-and-nih-gun-violence-research\" target=\"_blank\"> 2,000 doctors\u003c/a> signed a petition asking Congress to remove barriers to doing research like this.

So we really lack a lot of good research.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hemenway is hopeful.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
