no press conference from Froedtert, but posted this:
This update was issued at 8:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 5, 2012:
All three patients who were brought to Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin remain in critical condition.
This statement was released by Lee Biblo, MD, chief medical officer at Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin at 4:15 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 5, 2012:
I am with Dr. Gary Seabrook, director of surgical services at Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin. Dr. Seabrook has been actively engaged in directing care today.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragic situation.
At 11:18 a.m., we received a call from emergency responders at the scene in Oak Creek. We mobilized the appropriate physicians, nurses and operating room personnel to care for the victims.
This is consistent with many drills we run to be prepared for mass casualty situations as a Level 1 Trauma Center, in collaboration with our local emergency response teams.
Only three victims were brought to Froedtert Hospital. They are all adult males and are all currently in critical condition. They are all victims of gun shot wounds. One suffered injuries to the abdomen and chest. One suffered injuries to the extremities and face. One suffered injures to the neck.
The patients are being treated for their injuries. Two patients have undergone surgery and one patient is currently undergoing a complex procedure.
As a Level 1 Trauma Center, caring for three gunshot victims at a single point in time is unfortunately not unusual.
Again, our thoughts and prayers are with all who are affected by this tragic situation.
