Ukrainian Surgeon Bravely Treats Soldiers Amidst Russian Conflict

Petro Nikitin, the lead trauma surgeon at a military hospital in Kyiv, Ukraine, operates on soldiers all day long amid Russia's war. The hospital is short-staffed because physicians were pulled away to work in field hospitals closer to the front. Nikitin has become familiar with a range of traumatic injuries, including explosive weapons such as landmines, artillery shells, and grenades. He tries to return these people to a normal life, but sometimes they are forced to amputate a soldier's arm or leg.

Nashville School Shooting: Agony, Weird Messages, 911 Calls, and Remembering Victims

Doctors and staff at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville were left feeling helpless after five victims of a school shooting were brought in, including three 9-year-olds who had already died. The hospital had prepared for mass casualty events, including school shootings, but the emotional toll on staff was still significant. Trauma surgeons said children's bodies are especially susceptible to damage from high-powered weapons like the AR-style rifle used in the attack. The hospital's mass casualty response plan was overhauled after the 2017 Las Vegas shooting.
