Almost a year ago, Dr. Ron Walls, an emergency room doctor in Boston, opened an email from Dr. Richard Zane, a colleague in Colorado.
It was about the shootings in Aurora, and it had links to 911 calls that night. In a movie theater, 12 people were shot and killed and 58 were injured by shooter, James Holmes.
In one hour, 23 patients arrived at the University of Colorado Hospital with injuries more common on battlefields than in emergency rooms.
It was horrible, but it may have provided lessons for Dr. Walls in Boston.
On April 15, his Brigham and Women’s Hospital received the same number of critically injured patients, 23, in just one hour.
