10. I used to see a lot of gun violence victims where I used to work

The hospital I now work has seen maybe 3 GSW victims in 7 years....

I don't miss it one bit. Although most of the shooting "victims" we got at my old job were gang-related,
or hunting accidents and the occasional suicide attempt. Every victim left behind family members who loved the victim and will carry the violent death with them for the rest of their lives.

When the shootings occur on holidays, it can be even more traumatic for the family and healthcare workers who tried to save the life.

It is a heart-breaking sad state and it is something that will continue until this planet is dead.
