There is a pretty valid reason for not wanting to open a level 1 trauma center on the south side of Chicago, and I don't think it was mentioned in the video, but someone should probably bring it up.. Most of the people that will come into any level 1 trauma center on the south side, probably will not be able to pay any medical bills they receive as a result of a shooting, and they either have no insurance, or state subsidized insurance, which means that the hospital will not receive payment for services rendered. Even if they have state subsidized insurance, most states setup the highest dollar amount they will pay to any hospital, regardless of whether or not that amount actually covers the cost of the services provided by the hospital. Both of these things mean that either A.) the hospital never gets paid for a lengthy hospital stay for some gang member who got shot for acting foolish (granted, this logic doesn't apply to innocent bystanders, but that's just a tragedy. Tragedies happen all the time) or B.) the hospital could end up getting paid less than the cost of the services they rendered in saving some foolish gang member's life. Neither of these options is beneficial to a hospital, which, at the end of the day, is still a business (albeit an essential one) that is trying to at least stay in the black. To me, it seems that the focus should not be on the fact that the south side needs a trauma center, the focus should be on the fact that the south side needs a cosmic shift in the way it stems gang violence, and the way it deals with all these kids shooting each other. That should be the story. Not that a bunch of old business men do not want to open a trauma center that will OBVIOUSLY not be profitable, or at the very least self-sufficient.

This is very sad but it's not just gun shot trauma and I recent the bias of this reporting. It's any kind of trauma that requires emergency surgery, life saving measures that require certain and very expensive measures. Stabbings, accidents, suicide, beatings, anything that requires immediate action. A trauma center is set up to provide things like O neg blood supplies in stock, surgical suites in state of readiness and that includes trauma surgeons AT the hospital on call etc. This is very expensive. The hospital I worked at on the south side often had to declare the ED closed to emergencies due to over whelming demands on available supplies and personal. Money is God and if you don't have the tribute, you can't get the mercy.

It's not about the shootings, it's about healthcare access. You can tell the people commenting on this video have no medical experience whatsoever. I'm an EMT, and I'm in school to become a trauma surgeon (still a decade to go, at best). First of all, let's look at the gunshot victims. Yeah, I agree, we need to get our shit together and annihilate the gangs responsible for Chicago's violence, but it's not just gangbanging motherfuckers being shot. It's children. It's police officers. It's innocent people too. You're going to consign those people to death in the back of the ambulance because you're not going to open a trauma center in the proper area? Really? Moreover, it's not just gunshot victims that need trauma centers. It's victims of car accidents. Serious falls. Attempted suicides. Victims of assaults. Burns. Anything that causes severe, multisystemic injury. Many of those incidents are entirely unrelated to gun violence, but those people are dying too. In New Jersey, where I work, the rule of thumb is generally to call for helicopter evacuation to a trauma center if the trauma center is 20 or more minutes away. From my town, the nearest Level 1 trauma center is about 15 minutes down the highway, traveling with lights and sirens. In Chicago, they're talking about a 35 minute ambulance ride, on a good day. That's ridiculous. I see a lot of people on here bitching about how "blah blah blah you can't build another hospital". Well, that's great. Because there's actually a massive hospital already on the South Side, in the form of the University of Chicago medical center. Adding a trauma center would cost money, yeah. But it would also bring prestige to the school, create a new training hospital for surgeons of all types, and save hundreds of lives, not just gangbangers, but those innocent victims of trauma incidents unrelated to gun violence. You guys really don't think that's worth it?

You basically want everyone else to pay for overpriced over regulated medical training.

Astro Aquanaute I don't know what your point is, but yeah, we can look at the NHS in the UK as an example. That's 3 years to get a BS, 5 years to complete medical school, and 6 years in residency (14 years total). In the US it's 4 years for a BS, 4 years medical school (sometimes 3), and 5 years in residency. That's 11 years total. So training is actually faster. In the UK, the average trauma surgeon's salary depends on seniority, while in the US it really doesn't change too much, but the average UK trauma surgeon makes about £120,000, or $180,000. In the US, the average trauma surgeon makes closer to $250,000. So yeah, there's a difference, but it's not nearly as big as you're suggesting. If I really wanted to make the big bucks, in either country, I'd be studying banking. By the way, most EMTs in the United States are volunteers, because our government simply doesn't want to pay for medical services, either at the street or the hospital level. I make zero dollars a year for my work, I work a separate job and volunteer as an EMT on 3-4 night shifts a week. So careful before you go questioning my "good will" there bud, my interest in the medical field actually stems from wanting to make a difference with the time I've got.

Trauma centers aren't gonna "save lives." Rather than protesting for a stop gap, they should be working to improve socioeconomic status by creating opportunities in their disenfranchised communities to avoid people shooting each other in the first place. Even more so, to think a facility's financial cost should not be considered is naive. That's why the iron triangle of healthcare exists; there's availability of healthcare, quality of healthcare, and financial cost of healthcare. You can only have two at any given time while sacrificing the remaining third option.

Exactly. Those two are up everyones ass when a Cop shoots an African American man. But God forbid they show up to the south side of Chicago to end violence. Oh no, they can file costly lawsuits there. No publicity or money to be made. OMG. I just figured out why there isnt a trauma center there now. BECAUSE THERE IS NO MONEY THERE. A neighborhood full of housing projects can't support a sophisticated hospital let alone a strong and present police force. Then at that point maybe investment opportunities will arrive. Then perhaps jobs. And maybe the killing will stop when people are working. DUH!! Moral of the story? You cant solve problems by throwing tax dollars there. Create a buisness friendly environment and things will slowly change for the better.

Omg I am so upset to see this because I was literally these guys that were shot. I moved to Chicago at 17 on my own for college. I was walking the streets all hours. This is so sad, I can't even believe it. Kevin Ambrose looks similar to me, and his college was right down the street from where I went to college. I also noticed that these young men could have possibly been Lgbt people like myself. This is an ongoing trend I'm noticing in the state of Illinois. All I can do is continue to pray and make my voice heard. God be with them.

Do you have your insurance card ready jic you need someone to care about your next breath? How about sustaining a decent quality of life when a medical issue threatens to bankrupt you? I believe there's an argument to be made that NO ONE should live in uncertainty. The only color that matters here is green and u may not be as far removed from this issue as you think.
