"There is a saying in pediatrics that kids aren’t just little adults. You can’t treat them the same. In an adult, a bullet might cause injury along its path but be somewhat insulated by the surrounding tissues. This same bullet will do more damage to a child because they don’t have that extra protection. How do we live in a society that knows this will happen again and does nothing to prevent it?"

Dr. Trish Valusek, pediatric trauma surgeon, said as she and other Children’s Minnesota providers joined health care leaders across the state to urge elected officials to address firearm violence prevention in a special session.
