Some have theorized there were a large number of survivors in Orlando because the Pulse nightclub was only blocks away from the city's trauma center. Another big factor in a gunshot survivor's recovery is their community. The other factor to significantly increase someone's chance of survival is whether they can get to a Level I trauma center quickly.
