Massachusetts Surgeons Tired Of Sewing Up Victims Of Gun Violence Look Toward Prevention

Massachusetts General Hospital will open the Mass General Center for Gun Violence Prevention, a center devoted to gun violence prevention. “We’re really good at asking patients about their safety. . . . Pediatricians do it all the time,” said Dr. Peter Masiakos, a pediatric trauma surgeon at MGH. “I think this is the opportunity that we have as health care providers to do the same thing for gun violence.” Other news on gun safety comes out of Rhode Island and Colorado.
