Well sure. The number of gunshot victims there must make Chicago look like a Sunday School Picnic.
Sure.
My little town in northeast Oklahoma, population 3500, has one ER nurse and one physician’s assistant or doctor, in our very small hospital. So, they could easily get overrun, but haven’t heard that they have. BTW, the ER staff are excellent. Larger hospitals 30 plus minutes away.
