If the distance of 70 years makes you think it could never happen again, think again. It doesn't require extreme views or non-standard practice. It only requires lack of critical reflection on unconscious biases, and mistaking political silence for neutrality.

Did I drive an hour to see my friend @etsshow.bsky.social give Grand Rounds? Damn right I did.
Is his talk “Things I Didn’t Learn In Training About Firearms” must-see? Damn right it is.
We need to #StepIntoTheTension because #ThisIsOurLane!

Always stunned at the preponderance of gun violence in the US. They accounted for 31% of this sequential prospective study of peripheral cannulation success in trauma resuscitation across 19 centres.

147 (!) events in just 12 months. 😱

I am grateful for the many experts who contributed to this powerful report on solutions to reduce firearm violence, including @bradyunited.org Chief Medical Officer @josephsakran.bsky.social and @thisisourlane.org Advisory Council members @meganranney.bsky.social & Rochelle Dicker. #ThisIsOurLane

In March 2025, the JAMA Summit on Firearm Violence convened thought leaders from medicine, academia, advocacy, government and industry to develop solutions to reduce firearm violence by 2040.

In 2024, in a historic move, the Surgeon General declared gun violence a public health crisis.

This came after YEARS of @josephsakran.bsky.social & the #ThisIsOurLane movement calling for such action.

Now, the advisory has been REMOVED.

With guns the #1 killer of kids, this rollback this deadly.

Please add me. I spent most of my career, 40 plus years, heading up advocacy for the American College of Physicians, where we (and I) took on the NRA and launched the #ThisIsOurLane movement. Co-authored several of ACP’s policy papers on #gunviolence in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Excited to be at #APHA2025 to discuss the public health crisis of gun violence in the U.S. and how healthcare professionals can be part of the solution.

Patients whose physicians counsel them on secure firearm storage are 3x more likely to make decisions to store guns safely. #ThisIsOurLane

As @thisisourlane.bsky.social Founder and Advisory Council Chair @josephsakran.bsky.social said, “This isn’t about politics or taking sides. It’s about clinical care and taking action. Just as we routinely ask patients about smoking or seatbelt use, we must also talk about firearms." #ThisIsOurLane

This effort will save countless lives.

After seeing the ads, the number of pediatricians who identified firearm safety as an essential public health issue jumped from 29% to 54%.

The ads promote our @thisisourlane.bsky.social resource guide, shaped by our #ThisIsOurLane Advisory Council.

The guide contains evidence-based best practices and tips on how to have unbiased and culturally informed firearm safety discussions with patients.

The campaign, which is @thisisourlane.bsky.social's first-ever targeted media effort, will reach one MILLION healthcare professionals, including primary care physicians and pediatricians. #ThisIsOurLane

Nurses are on the front lines of America’s gun violence epidemic, and far too often witness this public health crisis firsthand. This #NurseAppreciationWeek, let’s demonstrate our appreciation for nurses with action to #EndGunViolence. #ThisIsOurLane

This week is National Public Health Week.

Gun violence a public health crisis. Healthcare professionals are on the front lines of America’s gun violence epidemic, and we will continue to work together to free America from gun violence. #ThisIsOurLane

11/ Not final yet—public comments coming. What you can do: Watch for NPRM, sign AAPA petitions, contact legislators, share, amplify clinicians. Let’s demand policy that matches reality. Our healthcare depends on it. 💙 #PAsPracticeMedicine #ThisIsOurLane
10/ Core disconnect: “In urgent care, I’m diagnosing, prescribing, deciding home/ER. DOE says that’s not ‘professional.’ That should concern anyone relying on accessible care.”
9/ Real impact: Affects loans, funding, access in underserved areas. My patients see me today instead of waiting months for an MD. Make these programs harder to sustain? Patients in need lose out.

…In this audio documentary —-debuted last September as part of a three-part series — “two surgeons, a nurse, and a paramedic describe the impact of seeing gun violence up close.”
