The shooter purchased an AR-15 style rifle 'hours before the attack.' Can't help but think that we need a mandatory waiting period. #EndGunViolenceNow

The gunman who killed four people at a Tulsa medical building underwent back surgery last month and the doctor who performed it was one of the victims, police said. His weapons included an AR-15-style rifle he bought hours before the attack. https://t.co/IoqGq6jHjL

BREAKING:: One of the doctors killed by a gunman at a medical clinic in Tulsa, Oklahoma has ties to Boston. https://t.co/npL4fDDHJI

It’s just unreal. We don’t have to accept this. Freedom doesn’t mean there are no rules whatsoever! We are free to buy all the other stuff this kid tried to buy, but reasonable laws prevented him from doing so.

May 24: Uvalde, Texas
May 14: Buffalo

The massacre in Uvalde, in which 14 children and a teacher were killed, was the deadliest mass shooting in the U.S. this year. It happened just 10 days after 10 people were killed in a Buffalo supermarket. https://t.co/JFDWZQHB7f

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

These kinds of mass shootings rarely happen elsewhere in the world.

Why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why do we keep letting this happen? Where in God’s name is our backbone to have the courage to deal with it?

It’s time to turn this pain into action.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

What happened in Buffalo was terrorism — and we must all reject the lies and the hatred that fueled it.

Proud of former @BIDMCSurgery resident and current @shocktrauma fellow Dr. Jinadasa for presenting her important work to kick off #WTA2022 in Big Sky, MT. @JinadasaS @WesternTrauma #FellowshipOfTheSnow

What an honor to teach in the @BIDMCSurgery Virtual Surgery Rotation for Underrepresented in Medicine (UiM) MS-4's led by my colleague Stephen Odom. Chatted with some talented and motivated future surgeons about respiratory failure and ventilator modes. #GenSurgMatch2021

[John W Scott, MD MPH @DrJohnScott]

It’s a rather straight line that is drawn for this type of racist ‘scholarship’ to blaming our patients (especially poor pts or black/brown pts) for poor health outcomes. It’s a comfortable view b/c it doesn’t implicate the systems we let remain in place. Indifference is not ok.

Must read from four past CDC directors in GOP and Dem administrations. "We cannot recall over our collective tenure a single time when political pressure led to a change in the interpretation of scientific evidence." https://t.co/yEczfeZ37e

"New modeling projects that the coronavirus death toll in the U.S. will exceed 200,000 by November, but more than 45,000 lives could be saved if the vast majority of people wore masks in public." https://t.co/pX5W7W2wPr

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

It's simple: the more we wear masks around others, the less Covid spreads.

[Alok Gupta @AlokGuptaMD]

@StephCohen20 Wow. Shoe-o-denum, biliary 'tree'... I see what you did there. Very impressive.
