'The patients were calm but scared': a doctor's view of London attack aftermath


I got a text at 10.30pm from a colleague who said there had been an incident in London Bridge and Borough Market. But all the patients we treated had been stabbed very, very hard and they had been stabbed with knives that were long. Two patients had emergency surgery, but others will need surgery over the next few days. It’s really important when treating patients with injuries like this to say “you are safe and we are going to take care of you”. It was different as it was a car attack so there was lots of blunt trauma – this one was more stab wounds.
