Director of London's major trauma system has a message for Trump/NRA re: Knives & Guns


Posted Saturday, 5 May 2018 by
Professor Karim Brohi, trauma surgeon at The Royal London Hospital and Director of London’s major trauma system said:

"Knife violence is a serious issue for London. We are proud of the excellent trauma care we provide and of our violence reduction programmes. The Royal London Hospital has cut the number of our young patients returning after further knife attacks from 45% to 1%.

"There is more we can all do to combat this violence, but to suggest guns are part of the solution is ridiculous. Gunshot wounds are at least twice as lethal as knife injuries and more difficult to repair. We are proud of our world-leading service and to serve the people of London."
