And thank goodness it's rare.
It presented as a phone call about multiple casualties. As you know, information can sometimes be very scant at the very beginning. It was that anywhere from 10 to 30 patients with possible gunshot wounds might arrive at Sunnybrook. As the trauma surgeon on call that night, I drove in right away. The helpful thing, I think, is that it was actually similar to an experience in Kandahar. When you get the warning of multiple casualties, what you have to do is organize your teams and call in people. I have to say that I found my experiences in the Canadian Forces very useful, in terms of how to organize teams, how to prepare for mass casualties.
At Sunnybrook, our first priority is trauma care. All the team members were very enthusiastic. Everyone wanted to stay. Everyone wanted to participate. I like to think our teams did a very good job in moving these patients through and treating them.
