Why doesn't she explain to us the surgeries and the injuries that these people sustained? If she is a trauma surgeon why doesn't she talk about the things she performed? You can never be prepared for a real accident or a life-threatening event!!! The doctor said it they were bringing those patients in way later so just let them bleed out? Instead we're going to take plasma to the school? I don't care who you are what you think my logic tells me a lot of BS!!! I give that doctor all the respect in the world figure out if you spell your name with the middle initial F or not!!! Is that too much to ask?
She handled these questions very well/ professionally. Shame on the reporter for forcing tears by asking question about how she handles speaking to the families of victims.
You can see her emotions shift once she was asked how she was dealing with it. Her nose suddenly becomes red and her voice gets stuck. She's fighting back tears. I applaud her and those in her field. What a strong woman.
It wasnt because he asked how she was holding up. As a medical professional, we can talk about trauma and injury and patients all day... but when he asked about the families... that makes our "patient" a "person" and it's the empathy for the families that breaks our guard. I can talk about patients and injuries and procedures all day... but seeing family members/parents and their grief tears me up everytime. You can see, when she stops talking about the families, she gets right back into business mode. The tears where tears of empathy.
she's defo VERY strong. she had seen their battered forms nd had worked on them. i mean this woman might as well be traumatized for her entire life now.
Omg the STRENGTH of this woman is incredible. The tear running down her cheek as she tries to remain professional speaks volumes. Heroes…even if a lot is out of their control.
@@jayk3551 Being a medical provider is one of the toughest jobs out there. Trauma patients, cancer patients - it can eat at your heart ; it takes a very special person to be able to step up to what they do - and we should never forget that. Medical professionals are truly the pinnacle of humanity.
Not to mention that she has to do a bunch of these (I've seen her being interviewed in other networks) so basically, she has to keep reliving this horror in her head, which I am sure she already does and will for a while even without the interviews. That's why I hope she and her staff have help provided to them too.
I'm traumatised and I live on the other side of the world. Can't imagine how those who dealt with this directly must feel and the families, oh my it just makes me cry to think of them. I don't know how Americans deal with this, how do they send their kids to school without fearing the worst or going to the mall even? 😢❤ Medical staff like these are people I admire not some silly actor or singer. I watch how people are worshipping Johnny Depp for instance at this moment and I just dont get it, standing in ques through the night to see him in court. These medical staff are the true heroes and state treasures.
Awwwwn 🥰...... I'm so excited seeing your beautiful and mind blowing comment and I also want to tell you that I appreciate all your unending support 💖...... Where are you watching from?
Thanks 😊 so much amazing fan your words are so accurate and according. Thanks so much for all your unending support and sincerity. Where are you watching from?
Honey, people like her, in that high stress environment, they're at their BEST - they are DETERMINED. Thank God. Those babies are in GOOD HANDS. Trust.
"We thought we would have more patients than we did"... That got me. I can't imagine how horrible it must be to be waiting anxiously for victims to arrive, so you could do your job and try your best to fix them, only for so few to show up because so many of the victims never made it out of the school.
Reminds me too much of 9/11... Ambulances lined up, emergency/trauma rooms on high alert, ready for the "100's of injured" that never arrived...people standing in line to give blood when there would be no one needing it. *sighs*
My mind went to the 1970 Marshall plane crash. The first responders bravely rushed into that hellish fire in that ravine only to figure out that none of those people survived. All they found were charred bits & pieces. First responders are a special breed. Few will ever realize how hard it is to charge into a horrific situation, the worst involving kids, and not be able to save them.
I have to admit, I’m deeply ashamed of myself. Through all of these horrific tragedies… I’m ashamed to say, I have never thought of the Doctors and nurses that endure traumatic pain as well. I am so, so sorry. I’m so sorry I took you for granted. May God hold his hands over Dr. Liao, and all medical staff that are trying to find a way to get through this. I can’t imagine. 🙏🏻😔
They literally signed up to be a trauma surgeon... they had hundreds of choices to be this or that and she CHOSE this. She paid money to get PTSD why are you ashamed?
@@liltreefort2804 you can still be ashamed to not recognize how much they do, ofc they chose it and I wouldn’t feel bad, but u can still show gratitude because that’s something I know I wouldn’t be able to do, so you thank her for doing it
She was very professional in her response, and thanked everyone involved in their efforts to save as many lives possible. It was heartbreaking nevertheless to hear her recall the tragic event. I hope she receives the much needed love and support from her family and the community.
Dr. Lao was trying to be strong but couldn't hold back the tears. I can't imagine what she saw. A big thank you to her and her whole staff for everything they're doing.
The way she turned red in an instant when asked about talking to the families of the casualties. My heart hurts for her. But I truly admire her courage. Bless you Doctor!
She has holding her tears and one tear rolled down towards the end. She kept her composure but she has a great heart because she acknowledged all the staff even when she was holding her tears.
There are very serious legal privacy issues due to the HIPAA and other health and medical related laws. It is ILLEGAL for any doctor in the USA to divulge information about an individual's healthcare (unless the individual is an inmate and releasing the info is for the safety of others). The doctor rightfully did NOT give any personal confidential details about the families' private affairs.
i also think the “how are you and your staff holding up?” definitely brought the tears forward and she tried to stop them right after he said that and she answered
Is hard …. I have a daughter working at trauma … Two weeks ago … she need our words … to encourage her … she was emotional … break down … is hard …. to see young children’s in this situation ….😭😭
I read your comment an was saying no what do you mean an that I watched it..... Her nose cheeks an face got super red and part of it pale. What a stupid question to ask F that guy, how do u think they took it!!!! Dear god
No matter how much experience you have in this field when kids are involve, it will always break your heart. Thank you Doctor for your service, for everything that you do.
I can see she was trying so hard to hold back the tears. After 6 and a half minutes of this she couldn’t help herself. I hope she knows it’s okay and very understanding. We’re only human. It has to be unbearably different than Sutherland Spings seeing that these were all small children. I thank all the doctors, medical staff, first responders, teachers, and school staff. You’re all so special to our society. Please don’t let this act of Cowardice evil Deter y’all from the expert Careers you specialize in. We need you all. Pray y’all have the strength and determination not only to get through this but also continue 🙏🏽😢
Please stop being political and dividing this country.. everybody has a heart.. be it Republican or Democrat .. you portrayed Republicans as heartless then what about the Dems that killed fetus in their wombs., those are voiceless & helpless human beings too.. there are bad guys on both sides.. NOW COUNTRY NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND FIND A SOLUTION !!!
@@mroberts566 insane. Their whole policy was built on twisting every moment to make him look bad. That’s called human empathy & actually “getting” the nation’s people. GOP have been the opposite of patriots a long time now
I am enraged over the loss of children and teachers, and the injury to many others. I have wept over these darlings. I taught 4th grade for 15 of my 27 years. That is an adorable age. My heart aches for the parents ,family and community. I am on their side. Yet... I pause because once again we have a troubled teenager who didn't get the parenting, guidance or treatment, he deserved.. Are we surprised?? And the arrogant deceitful left touts...... A RIFLE AND HANDGUN SUDDENLY COMES ALIVE GAINS INTELLIGENCE AND A PLAN, THEN RUN, AND begin to shoot. What a bunch if cockamamie.
The Brookings Institute recently released a report that showed parents, both liberals and conservatives, are more worried about their sons’ futures than their daughters’. Our boys are not okay. Moms are worried about how this new world we’re living in will treat their boys today and in the decades to come. I often wonder how things might be different if, 20 years ago, society had listened to the Factual Feminist Christina Hoff Sommers when she warned the public in her book, The War Against Boys, that there was indeed a war against boys and we’re leaving our boys behind to our own detriment. Rather than take her warnings seriously, she was accused of being a “Bootlicker of the Patriarchy” by feminists. But Sommers was right, and sadly, because society continues to turn a blind eye to the issue, the problem has only gotten worse. Parents are more worried about their sons’ futures than their daughters’. In our zeal to empower girls, we have left our boys behind...for decades. Because we want to get more women into the top roles in society, we have ignored the peril of young males’ decline. We’re seeing the repercussions today. In addition to watching our boys fail while pushing girls ahead, there has been a mainstream anti-male propaganda campaign taking place, essentially shaming and blaming boys and their masculinity. They’re just defective girls. They’re inherently monsters. They must change to be acceptable in our modern-day society. You might be thinking, “A boy crisis?! What are they talking about? Look at all the men at the top. Boys are doing just fine!” That’s the mainstream mentality, but when you stop to actually think about it, it’s absolutely ridiculous. There may be more men at the top of society, but that doesn’t mean boys and men are doing “just fine” everywhere else or that we should ignore the issues that affect them. Boys are struggling. Boys Are Falling Behind Girls in School Boys have fallen far behind girls academically. Our school system increasingly favors female traits and doesn’t respect boys’ unique style of learning, which only leads to the expansion of the education gender gap. Research also now shows that boys are more at risk of struggling and falling behind because of remote learning during the COVID pandemic. Shouldn’t we be adequately preparing ALL children for the future? Scholarships and programs disproportionately favor girls. Research shows that 92% of sex-specific scholarships are reserved for women, when 58.6% of college students are already female, and females earn the majority of associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, AND doctorate degrees! We’re watching boys fall far behind, and rather than DO something to encourage boys, we tell them they’re “the problem” while tripling down on “girl power!”. The statistics are real. For every 100 girls, there are: 145 boys who repeat kindergarten 168 boys with communication disorders 180 boys who abuse drugs and alcohol 207 boys classified as having a learning disability 318 boys who die by overdose 237 boys diagnosed with ADHD 240 boys suspended from school 291 boys expelled from school 355 boys in public schools classified with emotional disturbance Boys over 14 are 4x more likely to die by suicide
She is more than a doctor, she has human emotions welling up as she keeps talking and describing how she is dealing with things. She appears to be on the verge of tears and is fighting hard not to cry! It takes a person with deep compassion to deal with a trauma room full of kids! I can't imagine how to turn it off and start working on those little kids. She and her team are heroes! God bless tham all! San Antonio's children will be in good hands!
In today's world, you just need to put on a head covering and pretend you're a doctor...and minion zombies believe it??? Even if nothing she says makes any medical sense. The fluoride and TV PROGRAMING are working.
respect to the reporter for asking her how her and her staff are holding up, she fights back tears when asked that, sometimes people forget to ask how they are, same with the first responders, we get so lost in the tragedy of all of the losses but forget to check on the other people, on the other side of things.
May God bless this doctor and all the team as well as first responders for all they do🙏They will never be the same and when I saw the tears she was so courageously holding back that was painful 💔
@@RichBuddy Hospitals in the San Antonio area treated more than a dozen people injured in a May 24 shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. Nineteen children and two adults were killed in the shooting at Robb Elementary School, the second deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, according to The New York Times. Uvalde Memorial Hospital's emergency department received 14 patients after the shooting, 11 of whom were children, according to NPR. Two children also arrived at the hospital already deceased. Five children were transferred from the 25-bed hospital to larger trauma centers in San Antonio due to the severity of their injuries, Uvalde Memorial CEO Tom Nordwick told NPR. At least four patients were discharged May 24. (This was from a legit media source. So knock it off or you’re getting reported, buddy. 😡
What I find chilling (not coming from a country where we ever had a mass school shooting) is the way she said how well prepared "We will be for the next one". That sentence in itself is absolutely chilling and she says it without a blink of her eyes showing just how conditioned people are over there to this happening again.
That’s also what caught my ear (not from the US either). She talks about it like it’s a natural disaster where you can only prepare to minimise the damage of the outcome - not like it’s literally a man-made problem. But, as horrifying as it is, she is right: nothing will change in the near future and this will happen again and again and again and again and again... She just wants to do the absolute best that she can do where she’s at. WHAT A HERO!
I'm so glad your country has never had a mass school shooting. I wish I could say the same about mine. We've had SO MANY over here in the US. We're not any closer to them going away. Every time one happens, we discuss gun reform, but nothing ever changes. I swear we had this exact same talk when Columbine happened in 1999.
@@angelamiller2577 I don't know how you live in that fear. That's like living in a war zone and ye have no war going on..well from outside the country. The Australian example should be followed because when they banned guns except for hunting all their mass shooting stopped and their society wasn't/isn't as violent as it was when everyone could have guns. Their history is a very good example of how a society can change but it takes a long time perhaps a few generations b4 gun culture is done away with. Stay as safe as you can 🙏 🙏 🤲 going out for you and all America's children
not only that, but it was a prior shooting that meant they had the tools in place ready for this one. that's three layers of mass shootings that she's thinking about, all in one interview, without blinking or wavering. I read the unblinking matter-of-fact phrasing as her being beyond angry but knowing she has to accept it as reality. it's a constant conveyor belt of entirely preventable tragedy and it's horrific.
I've worked in a school cafeteria and you see the children on a daily basis. I can say this...every child is important and you can see their little personalities developing and it's so important for the adults around a child be encouraging and loving and not just a strict disciplinarian. I think long before a child needs mental help a caring adult can reach out and keep reaching out when they are witnessing a change in their behavior. Every child deserves to be safe and have a safe place to go to when they are in trouble physically and mentally.
You are so right. Its so important for adults to see what our children go through daily. The gunman himself was once a child. I wonder if no one had seen the red flags. So many ifs that could not bring those lives back. I pray for the souls of those who lost their lives.
I agree, I was a cafeteria worker before at a middle school, it's important to interact & be nice. God help the families. Those babies this tears my heart!
@@jmsj77 The gunman was cutting his face, posting animal abuse photos, delinquent from school, violent and also perhaps bullied, had a mother on drugs, posting gun photos and much more. He was giving all the clues and this info is coming out now. The mental health system is broken because republicans refuse to deal with it or try and control the gun problem. Salvador Ramos could have and should have been in the mental health system. Not because everything in his life would peachy keen but because mental health professionals could have derailed him on this path. Or at the very least declared him a danger to others and locked him up.
I wonder though, how even a sane person can continue to square the fact that children's lives come second to the unfettered right of mentally deranged people to purchase military grade weapons.
That's there job!! I'm sure they get paid good money. & she went to school for years to accomplish her career choices & goals. So yeah thank you for doing your job correctly. Also i would like to thank the guys who pick up my garbage every week & for not leaving my trash cart tipped over on it's side & leaving it seating up right. Also i would like to thank my cable company for crawling around under my house to run my cable wire's with out him i would not be able to watch jerry Springer at 3pm every evening.
I couldn't listen to this, morbid minds feeding off of the grief and pain these people have to endure is just as bad as the trigger puller. Shouldn't ALL doctors be caring? Should that not be the norm? Is the death of these children any different than a child that may have died of cancer the day before.
I haven't stop looking over this for the past two days; what hurts me the most is what it was like in that classroom. Thinking about it over and over is tearing me up.
If possible I would like to give Dr. Lillian Liao and her trauma team a standing ovation. What tremendous stamina and skill to handle such a horrific event that will continue for them (like she said) 24 hours at a time. Day after day working with these little people and with parents who no doubt feel so helpless. Jesus bless every person involved with this doctor and her facility.
Hearing her voice break when he ask how her and everyone else is holding up. I lost it. I'm a nurse assistant and a mother to a child the same age as those babies. What an incredible surgeon and team.
Awwwwn 🥰...... I'm so excited seeing your beautiful and mind blowing comment and I also want to tell you that I appreciate all your unending support 💖...... Where are you watching from?
She is intelligently trying to professionally decompress her emotional feelings safely. She is expressing her professionalism in her field with raw details, voicing her personal experience as a profession not a person off work. For that she is a very intelligent woman!
Absolutely. She is saying a LOT through her professional analysis. Saying someone can bleed out in 5 minutes and saying it only saved one in this case (although a precious one), when the police took so long. Her absence of personal opinion, let’s the facts shine. In describing what a bullet does to a child... she says a lot.
She understands that it's her responsibility to communicate effectively and that that can't be done when you're trying to stuff down your feelings. She felt the emotions, released them, and delivered her message. Smart lady.
I have been in the medical field for 22 years.I will never forget the first day seeing a 7 year old boy being shot in the head,it’s something you will never forget 💔💔💔
I am so very sorry! I lost my 1st born (only born) son to SIDS and as traumatic as that was and is, this seems so much worse for a baby to get shot!!:(:( Thank you Drs, Rns, and all the hospital staff our Prayers are with you!! Please take care and stay safe!!
I can so relate.... I was almost at the end of surgery residency. Patient was a toddler shot in the head by his 7 y/o brother. We did roughly an hour and a half of CPR + well beyond heroic surgical resuscitative measures in the trauma bay w/ zero signs of life, as his parents watched and screamed from roughly 7-8 feet away. Watching this clip, I started welling up when she did, as a mental Rolodex of specific family members to whom I've delivered bad news rolled thru my memory.
@@lp4660 yes you could see very clearly how she compartmentalized to do this interview. When he asks her experience these last 24hrs- she immediately reports a lot of logistical information devoid of emotion, or description of the injuries.. very dry & frankly not info that a lot of people were wondering about, kind of minutia for a laymen audience. Then he asks about telling the families & you do see crystal clearly the images flashing in front of her, the distance she kept, forced away by the question momentarily before she recovers it. Bless her heart. And yours. Thank you for your service.
Man I could feel the pain and sadness of this doctor, it takes a lot to hold it and handle it the way she did. I would have been crying the entire interview.
The fact that the previous shooting helped her and her trauma team prepare for the next shooting shows us that they have been mindful enough to “do something” in order to make a bigger difference in their field of expertise while those in elected positions of power are content with recycling their condolences.
Yes, politicians recycle their condolences. How many more such mass shootings (God forbid) they need before bringing gun control laws? There have already been so many mass killings not to mention several other kinds.... Why is US, the only country where school is not at all safe, still pondering over taking appropriate action?
I mean, what could those in power actually do to TRULY FIX this kind of thing? Restrict weapon access? Sure that would give us less casualties but we would still have casualties all the same. Stopping an emotionally and mentally unwell child/adult from having easy access to a gun doesn't cure their want for one in the first place. Unless lawmakers implemented some kind of massive overhaul with the public school system, idk what could help this sort of thing from happening again and again... you really cannot rely on another kids parents to instill proper morals and beliefs into them, or expect every parent to teach their child proper emotional management, teach them about their self image and worth (lordy not in today's social media era), you honestly cannot depend upon adult parents to do their jobs in the home anymore period. The only way I see the main causes of these things getting fixed is through making sure every child is taught proper emotional and mental wellness and management at a young age. Confidence and humility, respect, pride, humble generosity... things you'd think we're common human sense and traits but they're disappearing from the young ones at an alarming rate these days... But maybe if we can show kids that emotional management and education I'm talking about, maybe then THEY can grow into proper adults that raise children with those same types of morals and sense, to turn everything around for good someday in the future; but as of right now, none of what's truly going to help solve this problem is anywhere to be found.
To watch such a professional response coming from someone so deeply entrenched in the situation and obviously controlling their own uncontrollable sobbing is absolutely heartbreaking. This is strength I do not think most are capable of comprehending.
She tried so hard to hold back tears, a professional and a surgeon, everybody gets affected when kids get injured or hurt even death, you can see the pain in her and the cracking of her voice, she’s probably a parent or a mother herself…
The fake "story" is no one was "injured". Only "deaths". And, two fake dads holding photos of same kid fake crying. Come on...this is a fraud from start to finish. Wonder what the goal is....hmmm....wonder what government might want to take away from citizens???
Surgeons are incredibly brave and brilliant people, they have to desensitize themselves to be able to operate on an another human, but I don’t think anything could prepare someone for what they’ve been through the past few days. My heart goes outs to all that have been forever traumatized and destroyed by this absolute senseless tragedy, including the medical professionals who did everything they could for the lives lost.
How do we know she's really even a "doctor"? Crisis actors pose as all kinds of stuff. Her eye blink rates shows 1000% she's lying about everything. A total lie.
Scientifically "blink rate" is a trusted nonverbal cue to know if person is LYING. Is this really a "doctor" in world of scammers? This individual's rapid blinking = lying.
She's traumatized. She can't even answer the questions he's asking. She's trying so hard but you can tell she's in shock and can't gather her thoughts. I pray for this woman. She's gonna need it for a long long time. I'm so sorry you had to experience this. I'm so sorry. Thank you for being a super hero that saved the lives you could. 😭
The CBS reporter was trying to sneak politics into the conversation. The doctor RIGHTFULLY did not answer that facet of his leading questions. She did an excellent job of answering according to her own motives, NOT his. She gathered her thoughts JUST FINE.
@@gregcarter8656 He didn't ask something political. He mentioned it. How can you keep talking about politics in such a situation. Americans really have no more compession than saying "thoughts and prayers". How laughable you guys are,
Yes me too! I lost my 1st (only born) son to SIDS and I only did peds 1 time as agency during an RSV outbreak!! Thank goodness for the RNs that are eager to care for the babies! Please take care and stay safe!
Poor doc is doing everything she can to keep herself together. For someone with her training and experience to become so emotional speaks volumes. Thank you Dr. Liao for everything you do
1000% Respect for her professionalism... To have the strength to be so headstrong during a crisis such as this... This women deserves her recognition of heroism.

This is why when you see doctors and nurses, ask them how they are doing genuinely. Imagine being part of that trauma/traumatic team, but they too as doctors and nurses are getting traumatized. Every time I go for a general check-up, I‘d ask my doctor how she‘s doing and you know she would open up once in awhile, same thing happened to two other doctors and nurses I‘ve met in the hospital. I know it is their job to make us feel better, but let us not forget they are not invincible and they also appreciate people checking on them.
That is very kind of you to think about the people who are taking care of you, and how they are doing. Such compassion. I tend to not want to pry into their private lives, but I think I will start asking them how they're doing, to give them a little moment of relief to share how they're doing if they wish to. Thank you!
As I look at this, I look at this Dr. face and the redness of her nose looks to be fighting back tears. What an extraordinary woman and team to be able to keep composure to save the live of theaes children.
I work in surgery. I cannot imagine having to do this on such a level on children. This team needs prayer. ❤️ thank you doctors, nurses, techs and first responders
It’s so sad! Her feelings for those kids are pronounce on her face. May God gives you more strength in this moment of challenge. Immense respect for the doctors and team taking care for the one injured and the families 🙏
Imagine going from professionalism and doing what needs to be done in a non-emotional way. To dealing with it afterwards. Being able to do that is definition of strength. Several of these kids may have grown up to be like her, one never knows. But cannot help thinking about that. So much is robbed from so many people in these life ending/changing events.
I worked in the ER as a Tech, the things I’ve seen as well, we go home and cry in the shower, seeing children hurt in any capacity is bad, I couldn’t imagine working on a child with a high capacity gun shot wound.
@@michellewhatshername5577 And i love you for that. If a person who loses faith in humanity, and asks to see where one should go to regain it. Then i would point to the medical profession everytime. Most peoples minds i believe would immediately advice to go for the church or the faith. I think to better understand faith, one needs to experience what it is beyond words. People who work for more hours straight than anyone anywhere to save another person... Or watching the depth of love that people have for one another in ways you never see in public. Then Hospitals have stories to both show and tell about that, which should humble even the worst heathen. I always found that to be the most saddening fact. That stardom and fame is where the money is generated. Rather than where it should be. Amongst our professionals in society who save lives everyday and having to deal with copious amounts of stress and personal trauma. The latter part is rarely shown, and i think not fully understood. Which is why amongst the police force you find a separate comradeship that outsiders have no insight into and don't understand. There are plenty of doctors who see therapists and in some instances they also self-medicate. A taboo which is not mentioned, because outsiders wouldn't understand. We should take care of these people just as much as they care for us.
Scientifically "blink rate" is a trusted nonverbal cue to know if person is LYING. Is this really a "doctor" in world of scammers? This individual's rapid blinking = lying.
Including the CNAs that are very important and valuable! The doctors are very very well aware of how NON BLOOD MANAGEMENT saves more lives and the patients recover much quicker!
Wow you can tell she cares deeply about the victims & I’m sure the trauma team feels just the same. Is there a way we can send something a gift or whatever to this team at the hospital? I think it would be nice as a moral support
Awwwwn 🥰...... I'm so excited seeing your beautiful and mind blowing comment and I also want to tell you that I appreciate all your unending support 💖...... Where are you watching from?
These are our real heroes. Watching her break slowly throughout the interview was gutwrenching especially when she was describing the injuries that can occur with an automatic weapon. The fact she is such a strong person and a brilliant doctor and has a great response team goes to show you how medicine can save lives. From Sutherland Springs to Uvalde, many thoughts and prayers and my hope for some sort of reform if our country can do something. Thank you to our first responders and our nurses and doctors.
Weapons of war with high capacity and used at very close range. Their little bodies were pulverized. Nothing left to put back together plus the shock to the body from huge blood loss. You train to work on adults from the military or car wrecks. This was devastating to try fix. Internal organs and so many victims to try to repair in record time without loss further loss of life was an unreal challenge. Especially if you are a parent and if your children attended that school. 90minutes delay by law enforcement led to majority of them bleeding to death. They have no excuse and they are squirming with lies to cover themselves. Those children and teachers saved themselves. The only up about it is he is dead. He cannot hurt anyone else. However no one helped him in his time of need. Grandparents and Mom tried.Gates and Fauci caused this lockdown for two years. They are more deranged and big pharma than this guy. So D.C. about damned time to cease selling guns of war to civilians right? NRA apologize to these families and hospital staff, teachers and children? Yah. Didn't think so. Bribery and corruption. Same old same old. Money talks and you cowards walk with bulging pockets and no shame. Vultures circling with lies that you care? Save them. These children should be having ice cream, watermelon wedges, hot dogs, burgers, swimming, laughing themselves silly having fun this weekend. Empty beds, empty space at the kitchen table, empty space at the desk in school, empty seat on the school bus, no neighbor to play with no more, no daddys kisses, no mommies smiles, no pets to play tag with, no fidgeting in church, no grandparent hugs,you name it. Emptiness. Culture of death Washington. So proud of yourselves. So was satan.
Nobody ever said a single thing about automatic weapons. There were no automatic weapons. Automatic is completely banned in the US there are no automatic guns in the US. Stop making up lies.
If u look at her nose and cheeks while just before he asks her how they are coping u can literally see her nose turn red in a matter of seconds by the time she answers. What a heartfelt interview. So professional and strong yet so empathetic. Doctors like this give me hope. And I work closely with docs at my hospital.
If a Dr had that much difficulty trying to keep composure, what this unit must be witnessing with these kids & their families is unimaginable! The wings of angels will hold every one of them with grace! So senseless, so heartbreaking, so sad! RIP & condolences to all involved.💔
When my kids were little I worked at children’s hospital in New Orleans . I would go home and cry cry cry. I had to transfer. I couldn’t deal with the kids with cancer I knew I was not in a place I could be helpful. I stayed in the bathroom, couldn’t see the parents without breaking down. It’s stressful.
Shane - your comment rings it all home.....imagine being that doctor for just a minute....and how her training is tested by co fronting what are essentially war wounds. Horrible....
Yes, GOD bless her and everyone involved in helping, serving and caring for each patient. GOD bless the patients and I pray they heal soon. My condolences to the families who lost a loved one. God bless all of their loved ones. Peace, Lynne 🍃💜🍃

@@67marlins Hi! No, I don't have any Carnivale relatives in Boston but I do have relatives there. Ha!!! None of them have rental property. We all own homes but no rental properties. Thanks for your message. I didn't realize my BOSTON area accent would be detected in type. Ha! God bless you. Peace, Lynne 🍃💜🍃
She must be so exhausted, mentally physically and emotionally. I can't imagine what it's like to already be taking care of people who are seriously injured, and then all of a sudden have this burst through your door. Medical staff are so underappreciated, and the past three years must have been an ongoing nightmare for some of them with the pandemic and events like this piled on top. They need all the encouragement and support we can give.
They literally choose this job... not like some class based system where you can't be something under doctor... not chosen by a magic hat... not forced by a dictator... they literally choose to be a specific type of doctor once they get past a point. I know people who wanted to be one type and realized how hard and stressful it is so they went with an easier gig with similar pay. Im not saying this specific event or scene is wanted or to be bragged about but i've seen and heard stories of doctors bragging about how raw or crazy and situation was and how ppl threw up and they barely save him or he dies. If you can't handle the heat then don't come in the kitchen. Have you ever been to the emergency room on a busy day? They treat you like just another number in and out.... NEXT!!! The only ppl there who even show a little sympathy are the younger female nurses.
I spent many , many years working in Emergency rooms and Intensive Care Units. A lot of tears are shed by healthcare professionals in non public areas. There are some patients and situations where your humanity cannot be controlled by your professional training. You experience the grief as well, and it stays with you. I am retired now but there are patients I still remember after many years with profound sadness. I feel Dr. Lao will be ok eventually as she moves on to save the ones who can be saved. We know you cannot save everyone...but the desire to do so is always present in you.
@@miraafloyd I think this pandemic has shown the real heroes in our society. The healthcare workers and emergency services are not paid nearly enough for their dedication and heroism. As society we need to wake up and make them amongst the highest paid employees.
Man I was trying to hold it together until her voice started cracking. I can’t imagine the strength it takes to hold it together when there are innocent little kids who were shot to death laying on a operating table. Kids without adult interference are innocent and happy. I can’t even fathom hurting them, it’s absolutely sickening. Praying for all parents involved. We have to do something. It’s not a left or right issues, it’s not a race issue. It’s affecting all of our loved ones.
This shocked me a lot - doctors tend to be extremely distant to suffering, surgeons more than regular doctors, trauma surgeons even more than other Surgeons.. it is a way of being able to do this job. As a trauma surgeon you‘d go insane if you took the suffering in too much . I‘m a lawyer working in the medical sector. Seeing a high level Trauma surgeon give an interview with tears in her eyes and a cracking voice just shook me to the core. I don’t think People who don’t work in this Field understand just how significant this is - how unlikely for this particular specialty..
I was an EMT for a number of years here in California, practicing both on the ambulance and in a Level 2 Trauma Center. There is a special place that should be held in high reverence for those who specialize in the medical care of children. Some people in medicine cant work with the elderly, for one reason or another. Some people, like myself, can't or could not work on children. Even though I had to in my work as an EMT, it was something that always bothered me. No one should be in hospitals, but children in particular should not be in hospitals,. They should be outside running in the grass with their friends and getting grass stains on their knees. The level of professionalism that Dr. Liao exhibited is without words. I have seen, first hand, the absolute destruction that a high velocity weapon, like an AR15, can do to an adult. I can not imagine what it can do to the body of a 10 year old. I can only imagine the mental anguish. I'm sure she went into her office after her cases were done and cried. I know I would have. Thank you to Dr. Liao and her team for an incredible effort to save as many lives as possible.
After going through clinicals I found my calling in geriatrics and end of life care. They’re so overlooked, and it just spoke to me. I found where I belonged. I couldn’t deal with pediatrics. I wasn’t even a mom at the time, but I felt like my heart was going to stop seeing any baby or child in distress. I knew I couldn’t be strong for the patients or parents. These are special people in this field. Nothing but praise and adoration. 🙏 ❤️
She did such an excellent interview, and when she had to explain how the injuries differed from handgun ammo, she was having a difficult time. I can only imagine what impact that it will have on her and her staff.
If one of these were my child there is no way a politician would attend or speak at my kid's funeral. I wouldn't accept condolences either. I would except solutions to the problems but this country is tired of "well wishes" and "thoughts and prayers". They claim to be protecting children by pushing the overturning of Roe V Wade but you can't do anything to keep our children safe? Hypocrites. My grandmother always used the phrase that people like this would "at a strain at a gnat but swallow a camel".
She’s wrong though. Handgun rounds are in larger calibers. Rifle rounds are in smaller calibers. People use rifles to hunt because the rounds leave smaller wounds and less damage to the meat. They don’t use them because of “kevlar deer” like “professional” Joe Biden believes. Handguns are more deadly and do more damage then rifles at close range. You are more Lilly to die from a handgun wound then a rifle wound.
This is when you see Doctors step outside of emotions & perform at The HERO level! Grateful for her team who works by her side. She kept mentioning her TEAM & without them she would not be able to provide excellent care. I’m truly proud of the Health Care System in Texas. I’m from Austin & I know San Antonio has the best Health Care in Southern Texas!
To see her choke up and cry breaks my heart and just shows me how horrifying it was and what these miracle workers have to see and go through!! I cannot begin to imagine! God bless you Dr!
This piece really reveals how the Surgeons are routinely overlooked in their unbelievable heroism. We see constant enthusiastic appreciation being given to policemen, firemen, paramedics, EMTs, nurses, etc, but the Doctors are always left out of the Praise being awarded to these (deserving) others.
@@sukottoshinobe7360 I think they mean in comparison to other health care workers. Doctors are AMAZING, don't get me wrong. But working in the medical profession in hospitals has shown me that all they truly really do is prescribe medications and diagnose, its not like greys anatomy where they do everything. Other health care professionals like nurses for best example are the ones doing wound cares and medication administration and cleaning and feeding and all the dirty gritty stuff. P.S, to the original commenter, surgeons are not doctors. Two completely different professions. Surgeons save lives in surgeries. Doctors prescribe and diagnose (still AMAZING) which save lives further down the track. Nurses do emergency ressucitations like CPR, defribulation, mouth to mouth, not doctors (they stand back and watch).
Please do some more research, you can’t be serious. Reading your comment made me cringe especially when I read “all they truly really do is prescribe medications” man I would hate for you to go to the ER in critical condition just so a Dr could simply “diagnose” you or write you a script, it’s not like they would actually do anything else right.
tears rolling down her cheeks. I watched a father broke down talkin on camera. Thank you doctors, nurses, and ambulance drivers for saving as many as you can.
Wow she really held it together, when she just wanted to let her emotions go. She's definitely a doctor I would want on my team In any situation. Thank you for all that you do.
What an incredible interview. There’s such a difference in listening to her speak and give a real debrief vs Texas officials that sound so disorganized and vague. Thank you Dr. 🤍
Please don't blame the officials for seeming so disorganized! Be thankful the doctors and medical staff, as hard as it is, have the strength and courage to hold it together, stay focus on their responsibility. God bless them all, all of them. Our prayers are with them.
I was a floor nurse for 15 years and the way the Dr gives measurable and meaningful information is very telling. Her medical team had a plan for this and followed it. The way the Texas officials are speaking, it’s like they either don’t know certain things or do know, but don’t want to say until they can get their story a little straighter. Something’s not adding up. Whether it’s active shooter protocols not being followed by law enforcement or something else… we shall see.
Awwwwn 🥰...... I'm so excited seeing your beautiful and mind blowing comment and I also want to tell you that I appreciate all your unending support 💖...... Where are you watching from 😍
This very heroic doctor has seen some very horrible sights. I can't imagine how she is feeling. She is trying to be professional, but she is still human. If these lawmakers saw what she has seen, perhaps it would be enough to finally make changes!
They don't care... unfortunatly nothing will ever, EVER be enough to out-weigh their greed and corruption! They are only heartless, soulless inferior simulacrum of human beings.🤬😡😠😤
In a closed session, duct tape them to the chairs and make them watch a video from the operating rooms for 12 hours. Then bring in the parents and let the discussion begin.
The Brookings Institute recently released a report that showed parents, both liberals and conservatives, are more worried about their sons’ futures than their daughters’. Our boys are not okay. Moms are worried about how this new world we’re living in will treat their boys today and in the decades to come. I often wonder how things might be different if, 20 years ago, society had listened to the Factual Feminist Christina Hoff Sommers when she warned the public in her book, The War Against Boys, that there was indeed a war against boys and we’re leaving our boys behind to our own detriment. Rather than take her warnings seriously, she was accused of being a “Bootlicker of the Patriarchy” by feminists. But Sommers was right, and sadly, because society continues to turn a blind eye to the issue, the problem has only gotten worse. Parents are more worried about their sons’ futures than their daughters’. In our zeal to empower girls, we have left our boys behind...for decades. Because we want to get more women into the top roles in society, we have ignored the peril of young males’ decline. We’re seeing the repercussions today. In addition to watching our boys fail while pushing girls ahead, there has been a mainstream anti-male propaganda campaign taking place, essentially shaming and blaming boys and their masculinity. They’re just defective girls. They’re inherently monsters. They must change to be acceptable in our modern-day society. You might be thinking, “A boy crisis?! What are they talking about? Look at all the men at the top. Boys are doing just fine!” That’s the mainstream mentality, but when you stop to actually think about it, it’s absolutely ridiculous. There may be more men at the top of society, but that doesn’t mean boys and men are doing “just fine” everywhere else or that we should ignore the issues that affect them. Boys are struggling. Boys Are Falling Behind Girls in School Boys have fallen far behind girls academically. Our school system increasingly favors female traits and doesn’t respect boys’ unique style of learning, which only leads to the expansion of the education gender gap. Research also now shows that boys are more at risk of struggling and falling behind because of remote learning during the COVID pandemic. Shouldn’t we be adequately preparing ALL children for the future? Scholarships and programs disproportionately favor girls. Research shows that 92% of sex-specific scholarships are reserved for women, when 58.6% of college students are already female, and females earn the majority of associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, AND doctorate degrees! We’re watching boys fall far behind, and rather than DO something to encourage boys, we tell them they’re “the problem” while tripling down on “girl power!”. The statistics are real. For every 100 girls, there are: 145 boys who repeat kindergarten 168 boys with communication disorders 180 boys who abuse drugs and alcohol 207 boys classified as having a learning disability 318 boys who die by overdose 237 boys diagnosed with ADHD 240 boys suspended from school 291 boys expelled from school 355 boys in public schools classified with emotional disturbance Boys over 14 are 4x more likely to die by suicide
this is so heartbreaking, watching her trying to hold back tears, and having one still drip down her cheek really hit me hard, the pressure of being responsible for saving those children's lives must be so insanely hard to deal with, the trauma that comes with a job like that must be life long.
This was so difficult to watch,especially her putting into context the damage the assault rifle had on those little bodies. God Bless Dr Liao and all the other medical personnel dealing with this horrific tragedy. And to all the innocent victims, RIP.

I cannot imagine going through that and then 24 hours later, with barely any sleep, talking about it on a news broadcast. I have nothing but respect for her professionalism, skill and strength. I’m so tired of this.
The sad part is when she said that they thought that they were going to get more patients than they did- meaning that they were already gone and that is so devastating to realize.. They were just kids! Imagine how their pain their poor little bodies felt when they did get shot. We how how we feel as adults when we get a paper cut or mosquito bite- we cannot even imagine a high powered bullet entered your body at such a force and speed. I am sad but so angry too. No child deserves this. No parent needs to go through this. EVER!!
This Dr. looks so emotional, I think most of us feel this way, especially because most of the victims were Little Ones ❣️This is so upsetting and unbelievable that someone would purposely shoot Children and innocent Adults. I am glad he is dead. I hope those that are in Hospital will keep fighting and recover. Our deepest Sympathies and Prayers go out to the injured, and the Families of the Victims Rest in Peace little Angels 🌹🥀🕊️✨✨✨🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🥀🥀🥀

Bless her. Can’t imagine how much ptsd she has from this. Sending prayers to the victims. Gun safety needs to be looked at and changed. On top of security in schools.
Just kind of curious where you're going with the "Gun safety needs to be looked at and changed" quote? Because as terrible of an incident this is, the only thing that will stop bad guy's with gun's is good guy's with gun's. Criminals and the mentally unstable do not care about law's. If local and federal governments would lift the "gun free zone" law's and policies it would allow for responsible teacher's, coaches and faculty to conceal a weapon and respond to tragedies like this, the moment it happens. Perhaps if there were more good guys with gun's so many precious lives would not have been lost.
@@ToledoPitbull You’ve put absolutely no thought into your point. If “good guys with guns” were at all useful, the US would be the safest country in the world. None of the other countries without mass shootings have “good guys with guns”
@@jaredf6205 Except they can and do. You already forgot about the guy in christchurch? Mass shootings are a global issue that is getting worse, however, data shows that guns or gun access isn't the issue. In fact, no one at this moment can actually prove what is causing it at the current time. Data also shows that the only way to prevent them is to have someone who is willing and able to stop the mass shooter before he starts shooting or as he is shooting. They don't even have to be law enforcement nor military. A lot of would be mass shootings have been stopped by U.S. civilians who carry firearms. If you want to blame anyone, blame the people who are too cheap to pay for proper security in schools.
Parents I know we gets frustrated, stressed and bogged down with life. But hold you children tight and tell them you love them everyday , even when things are difficult. Because we just don't know who they may come in contact with when they aren't with us. This is our reality and it's just so heartbreaking. Kudos to that medical team.
She couldn't even get through this without tearing up, and neither could I. I can't begin to imagine this horror from a doctor's perspective, trying to save dying children. I hope they get all the best free mental health care to deal with the psychological trauma they are clearly experiencing. Thank you doctor for doing your best, you are the real heroes.

Why doesn't she explain to us the surgeries and the injuries that these people sustained? If she is a trauma surgeon why doesn't she talk about the things she performed? You can never be prepared for a real accident or a life-threatening event!!! The doctor said it they were bringing those patients in way later so just let them bleed out? Instead we're going to take plasma to the school? I don't care who you are what you think my logic tells me a lot of BS!!! I give that doctor all the respect in the world figure out if you spell your name with the middle initial F or not!!! Is that too much to ask?
You can be prepared for a staged event just saying!!! I feel sorry for that doctor having to get on TV and lie
Goddamned corporate press, get some tears, ratings ratings ratings...
She handled these questions very well/ professionally. Shame on the reporter for forcing tears by asking question about how she handles speaking to the families of victims.
You can see her emotions shift once she was asked how she was dealing with it. Her nose suddenly becomes red and her voice gets stuck. She's fighting back tears. I applaud her and those in her field. What a strong woman.
I saw a tear come out of her on her left cheek💔💔
It wasnt because he asked how she was holding up. As a medical professional, we can talk about trauma and injury and patients all day... but when he asked about the families... that makes our "patient" a "person" and it's the empathy for the families that breaks our guard. I can talk about patients and injuries and procedures all day... but seeing family members/parents and their grief tears me up everytime. You can see, when she stops talking about the families, she gets right back into business mode. The tears where tears of empathy.
its the blinking for me, trying to wipe the watery eyes clean with the eyelids
she's defo VERY strong. she had seen their battered forms nd had worked on them. i mean this woman might as well be traumatized for her entire life now.
dissapointing performance from this crisis actor.
Omg the STRENGTH of this woman is incredible. The tear running down her cheek as she tries to remain professional speaks volumes. Heroes…even if a lot is out of their control.
Her voice barely broke, she remained strong althoughout, but it's probably too too difficult to hold it in with a tragedy such as this. :(
Correct.
They human too
@@jayk3551 Being a medical provider is one of the toughest jobs out there. Trauma patients, cancer patients - it can eat at your heart ; it takes a very special person to be able to step up to what they do - and we should never forget that. Medical professionals are truly the pinnacle of humanity.
Not to mention that she has to do a bunch of these (I've seen her being interviewed in other networks) so basically, she has to keep reliving this horror in her head, which I am sure she already does and will for a while even without the interviews. That's why I hope she and her staff have help provided to them too.
She looks so traumatized, thank god for doctors, nurses, and all medical personnel
Bless her.
Thank God someone will do it because better them traumatized then you huh? 🥱
I can't imagine the PTSD
I'm traumatised and I live on the other side of the world. Can't imagine how those who dealt with this directly must feel and the families, oh my it just makes me cry to think of them. I don't know how Americans deal with this, how do they send their kids to school without fearing the worst or going to the mall even? 😢❤ Medical staff like these are people I admire not some silly actor or singer. I watch how people are worshipping Johnny Depp for instance at this moment and I just dont get it, standing in ques through the night to see him in court. These medical staff are the true heroes and state treasures.

"We thought we would have more patients than we did"... That got me. I can't imagine how horrible it must be to be waiting anxiously for victims to arrive, so you could do your job and try your best to fix them, only for so few to show up because so many of the victims never made it out of the school.
Reminds me too much of 9/11... Ambulances lined up, emergency/trauma rooms on high alert, ready for the "100's of injured" that never arrived...people standing in line to give blood when there would be no one needing it. *sighs*
Yep bc they never saved them so they all bled out
My mind went to the 1970 Marshall plane crash. The first responders bravely rushed into that hellish fire in that ravine only to figure out that none of those people survived. All they found were charred bits & pieces. First responders are a special breed. Few will ever realize how hard it is to charge into a horrific situation, the worst involving kids, and not be able to save them.

She has holding her tears and one tear rolled down towards the end. She kept her composure but she has a great heart because she acknowledged all the staff even when she was holding her tears.
There are very serious legal privacy issues due to the HIPAA and other health and medical related laws.
It is ILLEGAL for any doctor in the USA to divulge information about an individual's healthcare
(unless the individual is an inmate and releasing the info is for the safety of others).
The doctor rightfully did NOT give any personal confidential details about the families' private affairs.
i also think the “how are you and your staff holding up?” definitely brought the tears forward and she tried to stop them right after he said that and she answered
Is hard …. I have a daughter working at trauma … Two weeks ago … she need our words … to encourage her … she was emotional … break down … is hard …. to see young children’s in this situation ….😭😭

She is more than a doctor, she has human emotions welling up as she keeps talking and describing how she is dealing with things. She appears to be on the verge of tears and is fighting hard not to cry! It takes a person with deep compassion to deal with a trauma room full of kids! I can't imagine how to turn it off and start working on those little kids. She and her team are heroes! God bless tham all! San Antonio's children will be in good hands!
In today's world, you just need to put on a head covering and pretend you're a doctor...and minion zombies believe it??? Even if nothing she says makes any medical sense. The fluoride and TV PROGRAMING are working.
At 6:39-6:51 she already cried her nose turned red and tears ran down her right cheek and she wiped the tear.
respect to the reporter for asking her how her and her staff are holding up, she fights back tears when asked that, sometimes people forget to ask how they are, same with the first responders, we get so lost in the tragedy of all of the losses but forget to check on the other people, on the other side of things.
Yea. Ppl forget we front line workers are human too.
Yes, they are forgotten in all the chaos. God bless them all and thank you for caring as much as you all do, especially in tragedies like this.
May God bless this doctor and all the team as well as first responders for all they do🙏They will never be the same and when I saw the tears she was so courageously holding back that was painful 💔
@@RichBuddy Hospitals in the San Antonio area treated more than a dozen people injured in a May 24 shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
Nineteen children and two adults were killed in the shooting at Robb Elementary School, the second deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, according to The New York Times.
Uvalde Memorial Hospital's emergency department received 14 patients after the shooting, 11 of whom were children, according to NPR. Two children also arrived at the hospital already deceased. Five children were transferred from the 25-bed hospital to larger trauma centers in San Antonio due to the severity of their injuries, Uvalde Memorial CEO Tom Nordwick told NPR. At least four patients were discharged May 24. (This was from a legit media source. So knock it off or you’re getting reported, buddy. 😡

What I find chilling (not coming from a country where we ever had a mass school shooting) is the way she said how well prepared "We will be for the next one".
That sentence in itself is absolutely chilling and she says it without a blink of her eyes showing just how conditioned people are over there to this happening again.
That’s also what caught my ear (not from the US either).
She talks about it like it’s a natural disaster where you can only prepare to minimise the damage of the outcome - not like it’s literally a man-made problem. But, as horrifying as it is, she is right: nothing will change in the near future and this will happen again and again and again and again and again... She just wants to do the absolute best that she can do where she’s at. WHAT A HERO!
Gun violence is the number one killer of kids and teens in the US right now. This is serious.
I'm so glad your country has never had a mass school shooting. I wish I could say the same about mine. We've had SO MANY over here in the US. We're not any closer to them going away. Every time one happens, we discuss gun reform, but nothing ever changes. I swear we had this exact same talk when Columbine happened in 1999.
@@angelamiller2577 I don't know how you live in that fear. That's like living in a war zone and ye have no war going on..well from outside the country.
The Australian example should be followed because when they banned guns except for hunting all their mass shooting stopped and their society wasn't/isn't as violent as it was when everyone could have guns.
Their history is a very good example of how a society can change but it takes a long time perhaps a few generations b4 gun culture is done away with.
Stay as safe as you can 🙏 🙏 🤲 going out for you and all America's children
not only that, but it was a prior shooting that meant they had the tools in place ready for this one. that's three layers of mass shootings that she's thinking about, all in one interview, without blinking or wavering. I read the unblinking matter-of-fact phrasing as her being beyond angry but knowing she has to accept it as reality. it's a constant conveyor belt of entirely preventable tragedy and it's horrific.
I've worked in a school cafeteria and you see the children on a daily basis. I can say this...every child is important and you can see their little personalities developing and it's so important for the adults around a child be encouraging and loving and not just a strict disciplinarian. I think long before a child needs mental help a caring adult can reach out and keep reaching out when they are witnessing a change in their behavior. Every child deserves to be safe and have a safe place to go to when they are in trouble physically and mentally.
You are so right. Its so important for adults to see what our children go through daily. The gunman himself was once a child. I wonder if no one had seen the red flags. So many ifs that could not bring those lives back. I pray for the souls of those who lost their lives.
I agree, I was a cafeteria worker before at a middle school, it's important to interact & be nice. God help the families. Those babies this tears my heart!
Nice sentiments but not one kid matters to GQP who accept large donations from the NRA!
@@jmsj77 The gunman was cutting his face, posting animal abuse photos, delinquent from school, violent and also perhaps bullied, had a mother on drugs, posting gun photos and much more. He was giving all the clues and this info is coming out now.
The mental health system is broken because republicans refuse to deal with it or try and control the gun problem. Salvador Ramos could have and should have been in the mental health system. Not because everything in his life would peachy keen but because mental health professionals could have derailed him on this path. Or at the very least declared him a danger to others and locked him up.

Such a caring doctor. I’m glad there are great people like her and the team to help people in great need.

She's a sick twisted anti gun freak. Check her Twitter.
That's there job!! I'm sure they get paid good money. & she went to school for years to accomplish her career choices & goals. So yeah thank you for doing your job correctly. Also i would like to thank the guys who pick up my garbage every week & for not leaving my trash cart tipped over on it's side & leaving it seating up right. Also i would like to thank my cable company for crawling around under my house to run my cable wire's with out him i would not be able to watch jerry Springer at 3pm every evening.
I couldn't listen to this, morbid minds feeding off of the grief and pain these people have to endure is just as bad as the trigger puller. Shouldn't ALL doctors be caring? Should that not be the norm? Is the death of these children any different than a child that may have died of cancer the day before.
You can see her grief and the tears in her eyes, the shakiness of her voice. Thank you for working to save these children.
I haven't stop looking over this for the past two days; what hurts me the most is what it was like in that classroom. Thinking about it over and over is tearing me up.
If possible I would like to give Dr. Lillian Liao and her trauma team a standing ovation. What tremendous stamina and skill to handle such a horrific event that will continue for them (like she said) 24 hours at a time. Day after day working with these little people and with parents who no doubt feel so helpless. Jesus bless every person involved with this doctor and her facility.

"If and when we have to deal with these mass casualty situations again" Her last words are chilling... She knows it WILL happen again in Texas.
Exactly!! Unfortunately she’s right, the message was clear.
she said if
Can you define the word “if” for me?
And when
@@amw_cats she said "if and when"
She is intelligently trying to professionally decompress her emotional feelings safely. She is expressing her professionalism in her field with raw details, voicing her personal experience as a profession not a person off work. For that she is a very intelligent woman!
Absolutely. She is saying a LOT through her professional analysis. Saying someone can bleed out in 5 minutes and saying it only saved one in this case (although a precious one), when the police took so long. Her absence of personal opinion, let’s the facts shine. In describing what a bullet does to a child... she says a lot.
She understands that it's her responsibility to communicate effectively and that that can't be done when you're trying to stuff down your feelings. She felt the emotions, released them, and delivered her message. Smart lady.
I have been in the medical field for 22 years.I will never forget the first day seeing a 7 year old boy being shot in the head,it’s something you will never forget 💔💔💔
I cannot even imagine...
I am so very sorry! I lost my 1st born (only born) son to SIDS and as traumatic as that was and is, this seems so much worse for a baby to get shot!!:(:( Thank you Drs, Rns, and all the hospital staff our Prayers are with you!! Please take care and stay safe!!
I can so relate.... I was almost at the end of surgery residency. Patient was a toddler shot in the head by his 7 y/o brother. We did roughly an hour and a half of CPR + well beyond heroic surgical resuscitative measures in the trauma bay w/ zero signs of life, as his parents watched and screamed from roughly 7-8 feet away. Watching this clip, I started welling up when she did, as a mental Rolodex of specific family members to whom I've delivered bad news rolled thru my memory.
@@lp4660 yes you could see very clearly how she compartmentalized to do this interview. When he asks her experience these last 24hrs- she immediately reports a lot of logistical information devoid of emotion, or description of the injuries.. very dry & frankly not info that a lot of people were wondering about, kind of minutia for a laymen audience. Then he asks about telling the families & you do see crystal clearly the images flashing in front of her, the distance she kept, forced away by the question momentarily before she recovers it. Bless her heart. And yours. Thank you for your service.
@@ld3511 I’m so sorry for your loss
Man I could feel the pain and sadness of this doctor, it takes a lot to hold it and handle it the way she did. I would have been crying the entire interview.
Yeah she kept saying,"hmmmmm"
Me too.
The fact that the previous shooting helped her and her trauma team prepare for the next shooting shows us that they have been mindful enough to “do something” in order to make a bigger difference in their field of expertise while those in elected positions of power are content with recycling their condolences.
RIGHT ON! Best comment of the day.
Yes, politicians recycle their condolences. How many more such mass shootings (God forbid) they need before bringing gun control laws? There have already been so many mass killings not to mention several other kinds.... Why is US, the only country where school is not at all safe, still pondering over taking appropriate action?
I mean, what could those in power actually do to TRULY FIX this kind of thing? Restrict weapon access? Sure that would give us less casualties but we would still have casualties all the same. Stopping an emotionally and mentally unwell child/adult from having easy access to a gun doesn't cure their want for one in the first place.
Unless lawmakers implemented some kind of massive overhaul with the public school system, idk what could help this sort of thing from happening again and again... you really cannot rely on another kids parents to instill proper morals and beliefs into them, or expect every parent to teach their child proper emotional management, teach them about their self image and worth (lordy not in today's social media era), you honestly cannot depend upon adult parents to do their jobs in the home anymore period. The only way I see the main causes of these things getting fixed is through making sure every child is taught proper emotional and mental wellness and management at a young age. Confidence and humility, respect, pride, humble generosity... things you'd think we're common human sense and traits but they're disappearing from the young ones at an alarming rate these days...
But maybe if we can show kids that emotional management and education I'm talking about, maybe then THEY can grow into proper adults that raise children with those same types of morals and sense, to turn everything around for good someday in the future; but as of right now, none of what's truly going to help solve this problem is anywhere to be found.
Yep 🎯🎯🎯
To watch such a professional response coming from someone so deeply entrenched in the situation and obviously controlling their own uncontrollable sobbing is absolutely heartbreaking. This is strength I do not think most are capable of comprehending.
She tried so hard to hold back tears, a professional and a surgeon, everybody gets affected when kids get injured or hurt even death, you can see the pain in her and the cracking of her voice, she’s probably a parent or a mother herself…
The fake "story" is no one was "injured". Only "deaths". And, two fake dads holding photos of same kid fake crying. Come on...this is a fraud from start to finish. Wonder what the goal is....hmmm....wonder what government might want to take away from citizens???
Utter nonsense she is a crisis actor, she should be arrested and charged
Surgeons are incredibly brave and brilliant people, they have to desensitize themselves to be able to operate on an another human, but I don’t think anything could prepare someone for what they’ve been through the past few days. My heart goes outs to all that have been forever traumatized and destroyed by this absolute senseless tragedy, including the medical professionals who did everything they could for the lives lost.
You never become desensitized...you just learn to be a better actor
@@barbaraallen3054 Agree, it's a front. The feelings, the pain, the passion, the love for the patients is there
How do we know she's really even a "doctor"? Crisis actors pose as all kinds of stuff. Her eye blink rates shows 1000% she's lying about everything. A total lie.
Scientifically "blink rate" is a trusted nonverbal cue to know if person is LYING. Is this really a "doctor" in world of scammers? This individual's rapid blinking = lying.
Not "brave or brilliant" if one is a liar and fraud taking money as a crisis actor. Nothing she says makes any medical or logical sense.
She's traumatized. She can't even answer the questions he's asking. She's trying so hard but you can tell she's in shock and can't gather her thoughts. I pray for this woman. She's gonna need it for a long long time. I'm so sorry you had to experience this. I'm so sorry. Thank you for being a super hero that saved the lives you could. 😭
I think she answered each question eloquently and with immense strength despite internally falling apart.
Eloquently sure, but she still didn't answer the questions she was asked. She is tougher than I am cuz I couldn't do her job
not to be insensitive but she is a trauma doctor- she is not traumatized

This is why when you see doctors and nurses, ask them how they are doing genuinely. Imagine being part of that trauma/traumatic team, but they too as doctors and nurses are getting traumatized. Every time I go for a general check-up, I‘d ask my doctor how she‘s doing and you know she would open up once in awhile, same thing happened to two other doctors and nurses I‘ve met in the hospital. I know it is their job to make us feel better, but let us not forget they are not invincible and they also appreciate people checking on them.
Doctors and RNs have high rates of cancer due to stress...
That is very kind of you to think about the people who are taking care of you, and how they are doing. Such compassion. I tend to not want to pry into their private lives, but I think I will start asking them how they're doing, to give them a little moment of relief to share how they're doing if they wish to.
Thank you!

Imagine going from professionalism and doing what needs to be done in a non-emotional way. To dealing with it afterwards. Being able to do that is definition of strength. Several of these kids may have grown up to be like her, one never knows. But cannot help thinking about that. So much is robbed from so many people in these life ending/changing events.

@@michellewhatshername5577 And i love you for that. If a person who loses faith in humanity, and asks to see where one should go to regain it. Then i would point to the medical profession everytime. Most peoples minds i believe would immediately advice to go for the church or the faith. I think to better understand faith, one needs to experience what it is beyond words. People who work for more hours straight than anyone anywhere to save another person... Or watching the depth of love that people have for one another in ways you never see in public. Then Hospitals have stories to both show and tell about that, which should humble even the worst heathen.
I always found that to be the most saddening fact. That stardom and fame is where the money is generated. Rather than where it should be. Amongst our professionals in society who save lives everyday and having to deal with copious amounts of stress and personal trauma. The latter part is rarely shown, and i think not fully understood. Which is why amongst the police force you find a separate comradeship that outsiders have no insight into and don't understand. There are plenty of doctors who see therapists and in some instances they also self-medicate. A taboo which is not mentioned, because outsiders wouldn't understand. We should take care of these people just as much as they care for us.

Weapons of war with high capacity and used at very close range. Their little bodies were pulverized. Nothing left to put back together plus the shock to the body from huge blood loss. You train to work on adults from the military or car wrecks. This was devastating to try fix. Internal organs and so many victims to try to repair in record time without loss further loss of life was an unreal challenge. Especially if you are a parent and if your children attended that school. 90minutes delay by law enforcement led to majority of them bleeding to death. They have no excuse and they are squirming with lies to cover themselves. Those children and teachers saved themselves. The only up about it is he is dead. He cannot hurt anyone else. However no one helped him in his time of need. Grandparents and Mom tried.Gates and Fauci caused this lockdown for two years. They are more deranged and big pharma than this guy.
So D.C. about damned time to cease selling guns of war to civilians right? NRA apologize to these families and hospital staff, teachers and children? Yah. Didn't think so. Bribery and corruption. Same old same old. Money talks and you cowards walk with bulging pockets and no shame. Vultures circling with lies that you care? Save them. These children should be having ice cream, watermelon wedges, hot dogs, burgers, swimming, laughing themselves silly having fun this weekend. Empty beds, empty space at the kitchen table, empty space at the desk in school, empty seat on the school bus, no neighbor to play with no more, no daddys kisses, no mommies smiles, no pets to play tag with, no fidgeting in church, no grandparent hugs,you name it. Emptiness. Culture of death Washington. So proud of yourselves. So was satan.
Nobody ever said a single thing about automatic weapons. There were no automatic weapons. Automatic is completely banned in the US there are no automatic guns in the US. Stop making up lies.

She must be so exhausted, mentally physically and emotionally. I can't imagine what it's like to already be taking care of people who are seriously injured, and then all of a sudden have this burst through your door. Medical staff are so underappreciated, and the past three years must have been an ongoing nightmare for some of them with the pandemic and events like this piled on top. They need all the encouragement and support we can give.
They literally choose this job... not like some class based system where you can't be something under doctor... not chosen by a magic hat... not forced by a dictator... they literally choose to be a specific type of doctor once they get past a point. I know people who wanted to be one type and realized how hard and stressful it is so they went with an easier gig with similar pay. Im not saying this specific event or scene is wanted or to be bragged about but i've seen and heard stories of doctors bragging about how raw or crazy and situation was and how ppl threw up and they barely save him or he dies. If you can't handle the heat then don't come in the kitchen. Have you ever been to the emergency room on a busy day? They treat you like just another number in and out.... NEXT!!!

Hateful teens killing innocent children and people has to stop.
This shocked me a lot - doctors tend to be extremely distant to suffering, surgeons more than regular doctors, trauma surgeons even more than other Surgeons.. it is a way of being able to do this job. As a trauma surgeon you‘d go insane if you took the suffering in too much .
I‘m a lawyer working in the medical sector. Seeing a high level Trauma surgeon give an interview with tears in her eyes and a cracking voice just shook me to the core. I don’t think People who don’t work in this Field understand just how significant this is - how unlikely for this particular specialty..
I was an EMT for a number of years here in California, practicing both on the ambulance and in a Level 2 Trauma Center. There is a special place that should be held in high reverence for those who specialize in the medical care of children. Some people in medicine cant work with the elderly, for one reason or another. Some people, like myself, can't or could not work on children. Even though I had to in my work as an EMT, it was something that always bothered me. No one should be in hospitals, but children in particular should not be in hospitals,. They should be outside running in the grass with their friends and getting grass stains on their knees.
The level of professionalism that Dr. Liao exhibited is without words. I have seen, first hand, the absolute destruction that a high velocity weapon, like an AR15, can do to an adult. I can not imagine what it can do to the body of a 10 year old. I can only imagine the mental anguish. I'm sure she went into her office after her cases were done and cried. I know I would have. Thank you to Dr. Liao and her team for an incredible effort to save as many lives as possible.
Thank you for sharing this very touching message
After going through clinicals I found my calling in geriatrics and end of life care. They’re so overlooked, and it just spoke to me. I found where I belonged. I couldn’t deal with pediatrics. I wasn’t even a mom at the time, but I felt like my heart was going to stop seeing any baby or child in distress. I knew I couldn’t be strong for the patients or parents. These are special people in this field. Nothing but praise and adoration. 🙏 ❤️
She did such an excellent interview, and when she had to explain how the injuries differed from handgun ammo, she was having a difficult time. I can only imagine what impact that it will have on her and her staff.
Those injuries have to be explained and put in the forefront any time that " my guns" crowd starts talking about their suffering
If one of these were my child there is no way a politician would attend or speak at my kid's funeral. I wouldn't accept condolences either. I would except solutions to the problems but this country is tired of "well wishes" and "thoughts and prayers". They claim to be protecting children by pushing the overturning of Roe V Wade but you can't do anything to keep our children safe? Hypocrites. My grandmother always used the phrase that people like this would "at a strain at a gnat but swallow a camel".
She’s wrong though. Handgun rounds are in larger calibers. Rifle rounds are in smaller calibers. People use rifles to hunt because the rounds leave smaller wounds and less damage to the meat. They don’t use them because of “kevlar deer” like “professional” Joe Biden believes. Handguns are more deadly and do more damage then rifles at close range. You are more Lilly to die from a handgun wound then a rifle wound.
Seen a Dr at that level of responsibility getting emotional means that “Compassion” is whats she is teaching to the medical field. 💎🙏🏻
This is when you see Doctors step outside of emotions & perform at The HERO level! Grateful for her team who works by her side. She kept mentioning her TEAM & without them she would not be able to provide excellent care. I’m truly proud of the Health Care System in Texas. I’m from Austin & I know San Antonio has the best Health Care in Southern Texas!
Her professionalism holding back her tsunami of emotion.
Bless you doctor!!!
This doctor seems like she is completely in shock.
PTSD
💯
she is
MK ULTRA
And exhaustion
To see her choke up and cry breaks my heart and just shows me how horrifying it was and what these miracle workers have to see and go through!!
I cannot begin to imagine! God bless you Dr!
You can tell she barely held back tears when he asked how they share the news with the parents and how they are holding up after dealing with this.
This piece really reveals how the Surgeons are routinely overlooked in their unbelievable heroism. We see constant enthusiastic appreciation being given to policemen, firemen, paramedics, EMTs, nurses, etc, but the Doctors are always left out of the Praise being awarded to these (deserving) others.
the opposite imo doctors get to much credit
@@card4life367 how can someone be given too much credit for saving lives???
@@sukottoshinobe7360 I think they mean in comparison to other health care workers. Doctors are AMAZING, don't get me wrong. But working in the medical profession in hospitals has shown me that all they truly really do is prescribe medications and diagnose, its not like greys anatomy where they do everything. Other health care professionals like nurses for best example are the ones doing wound cares and medication administration and cleaning and feeding and all the dirty gritty stuff. P.S, to the original commenter, surgeons are not doctors. Two completely different professions.
Surgeons save lives in surgeries. Doctors prescribe and diagnose (still AMAZING) which save lives further down the track. Nurses do emergency ressucitations like CPR, defribulation, mouth to mouth, not doctors (they stand back and watch).
Please do some more research, you can’t be serious. Reading your comment made me cringe especially when I read “all they truly really do is prescribe medications” man I would hate for you to go to the ER in critical condition just so a Dr could simply “diagnose” you or write you a script, it’s not like they would actually do anything else right.
Yes!
The composure of this doctor is beyond belief…thank you Doctor Liao for what you do and your staff. God bless you.
tears rolling down her cheeks. I watched a father broke down talkin on camera. Thank you doctors, nurses, and ambulance drivers for saving as many as you can.
The look on this Dr's face is that she is emotionally spent, this is devastating to the whole of the community in every possible way.
Wow she really held it together, when she just wanted to let her emotions go. She's definitely a doctor I would want on my team In any situation. Thank you for all that you do.
Her composure and her strength. God bless her
Shout to her and all surgeons for all you do and see each and everyday and especially children who’s victims of gun violence.
What an incredible interview. There’s such a difference in listening to her speak and give a real debrief vs Texas officials that sound so disorganized and vague. Thank you Dr. 🤍
EXACTLY.
Please don't blame the officials for seeming so disorganized! Be thankful the doctors and medical staff, as hard as it is, have the strength and courage to hold it together, stay focus on their responsibility. God bless them all, all of them. Our prayers are with them.
I was a floor nurse for 15 years and the way the Dr gives measurable and meaningful information is very telling. Her medical team had a plan for this and followed it. The way the Texas officials are speaking, it’s like they either don’t know certain things or do know, but don’t want to say until they can get their story a little straighter. Something’s not adding up. Whether it’s active shooter protocols not being followed by law enforcement or something else… we shall see.
Awwwwn 🥰...... I'm so excited seeing your beautiful and mind blowing comment and I also want to tell you that I appreciate all your unending support 💖...... Where are you watching from 😍
This very heroic doctor has seen some very horrible sights. I can't imagine how she is feeling. She is trying to be professional, but she is still human. If these lawmakers saw what she has seen, perhaps it would be enough to finally make changes!
No law can be struck that will fix a problem that lies in the very heart of mankind, where violence lives.
Yeah, they need to do away with "gun free zones" for starters.
They don't care... unfortunatly nothing will ever, EVER be enough to out-weigh their greed and corruption! They are only heartless, soulless inferior simulacrum of human beings.🤬😡😠😤
In a closed session, duct tape them to the chairs and make them watch a video from the operating rooms for 12 hours. Then bring in the parents and let the discussion begin.
She was "sad they were prepared for more patients." Meaning that there were more fatalities than critical injuries... Heartbreaking.
So heartbreaking 🥹🥹🥹
What a tower of strength, compassion and professionalism
That didn’t click with me until I read your comment…awful…
It is the most heartbreaking part of this interview to me. They knew many got shot but most didn’t make to the hospital 💔
The Brookings Institute recently released a report that showed parents, both liberals and conservatives, are more worried about their sons’ futures than their daughters’. Our boys are not okay. Moms are worried about how this new world we’re living in will treat their boys today and in the decades to come.
I often wonder how things might be different if, 20 years ago, society had listened to the Factual Feminist Christina Hoff Sommers when she warned the public in her book, The War Against Boys, that there was indeed a war against boys and we’re leaving our boys behind to our own detriment. Rather than take her warnings seriously, she was accused of being a “Bootlicker of the Patriarchy” by feminists.
But Sommers was right, and sadly, because society continues to turn a blind eye to the issue, the problem has only gotten worse.
Parents are more worried about their sons’ futures than their daughters’.
In our zeal to empower girls, we have left our boys behind...for decades. Because we want to get more women into the top roles in society, we have ignored the peril of young males’ decline. We’re seeing the repercussions today. In addition to watching our boys fail while pushing girls ahead, there has been a mainstream anti-male propaganda campaign taking place, essentially shaming and blaming boys and their masculinity. They’re just defective girls. They’re inherently monsters. They must change to be acceptable in our modern-day society.
You might be thinking, “A boy crisis?! What are they talking about? Look at all the men at the top. Boys are doing just fine!” That’s the mainstream mentality, but when you stop to actually think about it, it’s absolutely ridiculous. There may be more men at the top of society, but that doesn’t mean boys and men are doing “just fine” everywhere else or that we should ignore the issues that affect them. Boys are struggling.
Boys Are Falling Behind Girls in School
Boys have fallen far behind girls academically. Our school system increasingly favors female traits and doesn’t respect boys’ unique style of learning, which only leads to the expansion of the education gender gap. Research also now shows that boys are more at risk of struggling and falling behind because of remote learning during the COVID pandemic.
Shouldn’t we be adequately preparing ALL children for the future?
Scholarships and programs disproportionately favor girls. Research shows that 92% of sex-specific scholarships are reserved for women, when 58.6% of college students are already female, and females earn the majority of associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, AND doctorate degrees! We’re watching boys fall far behind, and rather than DO something to encourage boys, we tell them they’re “the problem” while tripling down on “girl power!”.
The statistics are real. For every 100 girls, there are:
145 boys who repeat kindergarten
168 boys with communication disorders
180 boys who abuse drugs and alcohol
207 boys classified as having a learning disability
318 boys who die by overdose
237 boys diagnosed with ADHD
240 boys suspended from school
291 boys expelled from school
355 boys in public schools classified with emotional disturbance
Boys over 14 are 4x more likely to die by suicide
this is so heartbreaking, watching her trying to hold back tears, and having one still drip down her cheek really hit me hard, the pressure of being responsible for saving those children's lives must be so insanely hard to deal with, the trauma that comes with a job like that must be life long.
This was so difficult to watch,especially her putting into context the damage the assault rifle had on those little bodies. God Bless Dr Liao and all the other medical personnel dealing with this horrific tragedy. And to all the innocent victims, RIP.
God? Where was this God when innocent children were being slaughtered?
@@VeroSCIA yet republikans legit are saying we should pray more to god and have less gun control
@@VeroSCIA Evil? Evil doesn't exist? Just good? But good and evil don't exist in your world? What? Interesting? You believe in nothing? Doesn't seem like that makes sense for your puny mind either
@@VeroSCIA u acting like God will come down to earth and stop the kid from shooting 🙄
@@bernardinotorres4182 you sound puny hearted. Evil and uncaring exist, but pick fights more than you look for peace much? Please, for your own sake...
Thank you all health care workers who helped.
I cannot imagine going through that and then 24 hours later, with barely any sleep, talking about it on a news broadcast. I have nothing but respect for her professionalism, skill and strength.
I’m so tired of this.
Watching those tears roll down her face really made me feel her emotion as well. She was fighting and holding back a lot more tears.
The sad part is when she said that they thought that they were going to get more patients than they did- meaning that they were already gone and that is so devastating to realize.. They were just kids! Imagine how their pain their poor little bodies felt when they did get shot. We how how we feel as adults when we get a paper cut or mosquito bite- we cannot even imagine a high powered bullet entered your body at such a force and speed. I am sad but so angry too. No child deserves this. No parent needs to go through this. EVER!!
This Dr. looks so emotional, I think most of us feel this way, especially because most of the victims were Little Ones ❣️This is so upsetting and unbelievable that someone would purposely shoot Children and innocent Adults. I am glad he is dead. I hope those that are in Hospital will keep fighting and recover. Our deepest Sympathies and Prayers go out to the injured, and the Families of the Victims
Rest in Peace little Angels 🌹🥀🕊️✨✨✨🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🥀🥀🥀
God bless Dr. LL
Awwwwn 🥰...... I'm so excited seeing your beautiful and mind blowing comment and I also want to tell you that I appreciate all your unending support 💖...... Where are you watching from?
Heartbreaking to see a doctor hold back her tears and emotions.
What a strong and compassionate doctor, I cried along with her. She is one of this country’s brave ones.
She's really struggling with this.. what a SAINT!
Bless her. Can’t imagine how much ptsd she has from this. Sending prayers to the victims. Gun safety needs to be looked at and changed. On top of security in schools.
Imagine the funeral homes dealing with trying to make them look presentable to their families- if it's even possible.
Just kind of curious where you're going with the "Gun safety needs to be looked at and changed" quote? Because as terrible of an incident this is, the only thing that will stop bad guy's with gun's is good guy's with gun's. Criminals and the mentally unstable do not care about law's. If local and federal governments would lift the "gun free zone" law's and policies it would allow for responsible teacher's, coaches and faculty to conceal a weapon and respond to tragedies like this, the moment it happens. Perhaps if there were more good guys with gun's so many precious lives would not have been lost.
@@ToledoPitbull You’ve put absolutely no thought into your point. If “good guys with guns” were at all useful, the US would be the safest country in the world. None of the other countries without mass shootings have “good guys with guns”
@@jaredf6205 Except they can and do. You already forgot about the guy in christchurch? Mass shootings are a global issue that is getting worse, however, data shows that guns or gun access isn't the issue. In fact, no one at this moment can actually prove what is causing it at the current time. Data also shows that the only way to prevent them is to have someone who is willing and able to stop the mass shooter before he starts shooting or as he is shooting. They don't even have to be law enforcement nor military. A lot of would be mass shootings have been stopped by U.S. civilians who carry firearms. If you want to blame anyone, blame the people who are too cheap to pay for proper security in schools.
It has nothing to do with gun safety. Schools need security. With guns.
Parents I know we gets frustrated, stressed and bogged down with life. But hold you children tight and tell them you love them everyday , even when things are difficult. Because we just don't know who they may come in contact with when they aren't with us. This is our reality and it's just so heartbreaking. Kudos to that medical team.
💯
Yes😪
@@knockknocklandshark9022 it's absolutely not acceptable and we should never have to accept it but it's what's happening whether we like it or not.
Thanks for this comment ❤️
Well said
Dr. Liao treated my 14 year old son who was shot back in March. She’s an excellent doctor. University Hospital is the best.
She couldn't even get through this without tearing up, and neither could I. I can't begin to imagine this horror from a doctor's perspective, trying to save dying children. I hope they get all the best free mental health care to deal with the psychological trauma they are clearly experiencing. Thank you doctor for doing your best, you are the real heroes.
I feel so bad for this doctor. She looks hurt and stressed out and yet still has to maintain and help those in need
"How are you?" is the hardest question to answer especially in situations like this. Bless you and your team, Dr. Liao.
