Fighting Gun Violence By Treating It Like a Disease
As murder rates rise in Detroit, doctors at a local hospital are working to keep shooting victims from ending up back in the ER.
In a small conference room at Detroit Medical Center’s Sinai Grace Hospital, violence intervention specialist Ray Winans asks a roomful of young African Americans if they know anyone who has been killed by gunshots.
They all raise their hands, including Winans and his partner, Calvin Evans. They’ve also lost friends, family members.
