Send them to a Chicago trauma unit.

A new partnership with a Cook County hospital is allowing military medical personnel access to the trauma patients that it serves in Chicago, which is grappling with so much gun violence on its South and West sides that some people have taken to calling the city “Chiraq.”

“It’s important to get them this kind of training here, so they can see how to stop that bleeding and save that life,” Lt. Cmdr. Stan Hovell, a Navy nurse who worked in a rotation at the hospital, told the Chicago Tribune. “They pick up those skills and carry it back to the Navy.”
