Duchess Catherine visited King's College Hospital

QuoteHead of nursing Lynne Watkins-Hulme said it was unusual to have to deal with so many female casualties.
"That was quite traumatic for the staff. We are not used to so many females being injured," she said.
"We are used to seeing people who are stabbed. But to have six women who were stabbed, multiple times - it was just the amount of people - that was upsetting."
The duchess also spoke to emergency consultant Malcolm Tunnicliff, who went to the hospital when he heard the news.
He said: "We are very, very used to dealing with stabbings in this area.
"We are one of the busiest hospitals in western Europe for dealing with penetrating injuries but it was the volume and it is usually young men that stab each other, and there were quite a lot of ladies who were stabbed."
Dr Tunnicliff highlighted the "dedication of all the staff and actually how resilient they are, and they are very proud to work for King's and the NHS for that matter".
A sobering observation from the emergency room staff who treated some of the patients that night. :no:
Yes, it's horrifying that the staff at this hospital probably deal with around a dozen stabbings a week of young males, but it's lucky in this case I suppose that they have so much experience in dealing with this kind of wound. These young women received the very best of care as a result. However, it says something about life in major cities doesn't it and that something isn't pretty.
Yes sadly because of the staff's experience with stabbing victims, they're the experts in treating them. :no:
