Chicago Violence Endangers Vital Blood Supply
Jun 23, 2009 10:42 pm US/Central
There is a real emergency for a county hospital emergency room. The uptick in violence is literally draining the blood supply.
A local doctor says the reason for the shortage is the high numbers of victims of shootings and other violent crimes who come to Stroger Hospital for life-saving treatment.
"We see probably an average of between 10 and 15 people who get shot or stabbed every night," Dr. Dennis said.
