"L.A.'s Shooting Season"
At 5:25 a.m., three hours after arrival, Dr. Putnam pronounces the boy in critical condition, expected to live. The team prepares Lee to be moved to the ICU. He will be operated on again in a couple of days. Medicine and technology have come far in recent years in balancing the odds, but when it comes to gun violence, the numbers are overwhelming. "Why guns?" Dr. Putnam asks. "Why so many guns? It once was fistfights. It once was stabbings. Now it's a whole new world out there, and with guns, it's just too much."
