GSW right chest and abdomen

Preview/Purchase my first little book

WATCH THE SHORT FILM

No... this is not Iraq or Israel...

this is 2 miles west of the Loop In Chicago Illinois USA, the wild Westside, circa 2005.

The sea of humanity that floods most urban EDs across the country, contuses the soul of our collective consciousness... how do we allow the degree of hopelessness among millions of humans fester unchecked, amidst the beautiful rolling fields and glowing towers of American wealth, power and global influence?

The pure spirit of our people must harmonize and evolve... the direction of willful change guided by the anticipated effect our actions leave on our children, five generations from now. Regardless of the religious specifics we cherish with gentle hands, when our lasting creations, anoint the souls of distant infants with peace, love and comfort from suffering, we are eternal... our toil insuring the cycle propagates endlessly. I can think of few greater purposes.

I have led a very blessed life away from this type of suffering. While both of my children have had to visit the emergency room and it was scary and life-altering, it was nothing like this.

I am in awe of humanity when I see this. I am in love with humanity when I see this. I have hope and deep gratitude for what people like you do in this world.

Thank you for showing this powerful image. It had a great impact on me while I was watching the documentary. Thank you also for all of the work you put out in the world.


Many blessings,

~Kymberlee

One of the most powerful (and disturbing) of your images. Doesn't even need the title to tell you that this is real life, lived in the raw. Fantastic work....

This photo is, for me, the essence of emergency medicine and why I'll always be a trauma junkie.

great picture, reminds me of the book "Knife and Gun club", which was a black and white photo journal of life in an Denver ER.
