republicans are the enemy
Why doesn't she explain to us the surgeries and the injuries that these people sustained? If she is a trauma surgeon why doesn't she talk about the things she performed? You can never be prepared for a real accident or a life-threatening event!!! The doctor said it they were bringing those patients in way later so just let them bleed out? Instead we're going to take plasma to the school? I don't care who you are what you think my logic tells me a lot of BS!!! I give that doctor all the respect in the world figure out if you spell your name with the middle initial F or not!!! Is that too much to ask?
You can be prepared for a staged event just saying!!! I feel sorry for that doctor having to get on TV and lie
Goddamned corporate press, get some tears, ratings ratings ratings...
She handled these questions very well/ professionally. Shame on the reporter for forcing tears by asking question about how she handles speaking to the families of victims.
You can see her emotions shift once she was asked how she was dealing with it. Her nose suddenly becomes red and her voice gets stuck. She's fighting back tears. I applaud her and those in her field. What a strong woman.
I saw a tear come out of her on her left cheek💔💔
It wasnt because he asked how she was holding up. As a medical professional, we can talk about trauma and injury and patients all day... but when he asked about the families... that makes our "patient" a "person" and it's the empathy for the families that breaks our guard. I can talk about patients and injuries and procedures all day... but seeing family members/parents and their grief tears me up everytime. You can see, when she stops talking about the families, she gets right back into business mode. The tears where tears of empathy.
its the blinking for me, trying to wipe the watery eyes clean with the eyelids
she's defo VERY strong. she had seen their battered forms nd had worked on them. i mean this woman might as well be traumatized for her entire life now.
dissapointing performance from this crisis actor.
Omg the STRENGTH of this woman is incredible. The tear running down her cheek as she tries to remain professional speaks volumes. Heroes…even if a lot is out of their control.
Her voice barely broke, she remained strong althoughout, but it's probably too too difficult to hold it in with a tragedy such as this. :(
Correct.
They human too
@@jayk3551 Being a medical provider is one of the toughest jobs out there. Trauma patients, cancer patients - it can eat at your heart ; it takes a very special person to be able to step up to what they do - and we should never forget that. Medical professionals are truly the pinnacle of humanity.
Not to mention that she has to do a bunch of these (I've seen her being interviewed in other networks) so basically, she has to keep reliving this horror in her head, which I am sure she already does and will for a while even without the interviews. That's why I hope she and her staff have help provided to them too.
i can’t even fathom being a pediatric TRAUMA surgeon. this is unimaginable. so much respect
pointless position... this should never have to happen... in 1000 years from now, guns will not exisit
D
It takes a special person to do this job.
What an absolute bad mf, I’m in awe of this incredible woman
Someone needs to do this God’s work. Wow I applaud her.
"We thought we would have more patients than we did"... That got me. I can't imagine how horrible it must be to be waiting anxiously for victims to arrive, so you could do your job and try your best to fix them, only for so few to show up because so many of the victims never made it out of the school.
Reminds me too much of 9/11... Ambulances lined up, emergency/trauma rooms on high alert, ready for the "100's of injured" that never arrived...people standing in line to give blood when there would be no one needing it. *sighs*
Yep bc they never saved them so they all bled out
My mind went to the 1970 Marshall plane crash. The first responders bravely rushed into that hellish fire in that ravine only to figure out that none of those people survived. All they found were charred bits & pieces. First responders are a special breed. Few will ever realize how hard it is to charge into a horrific situation, the worst involving kids, and not be able to save them.
@@williamhurt5245 and sadly it appears the first responders in Uvalde was very far from up to the task
because humans need to love each other
She looks so traumatized, thank god for doctors, nurses, and all medical personnel
Bless her.
Thank God someone will do it because better them traumatized then you huh? 🥱
I can't imagine the PTSD
I'm traumatised and I live on the other side of the world. Can't imagine how those who dealt with this directly must feel and the families, oh my it just makes me cry to think of them. I don't know how Americans deal with this, how do they send their kids to school without fearing the worst or going to the mall even? 😢❤ Medical staff like these are people I admire not some silly actor or singer. I watch how people are worshipping Johnny Depp for instance at this moment and I just dont get it, standing in ques through the night to see him in court. These medical staff are the true heroes and state treasures.
She’s hurting.
She’s been a surgeon through Covid and TWO school shootings!! Imagine the PTSD 🥺💔 Bless You Doctor, from a fellow medical professional in Texas
Awwwwn 🥰...... I'm so excited seeing your beautiful and mind blowing comment and I also want to tell you that I appreciate all your unending support 💖...... Where are you watching from?
@@jonhamm8596 wtf dude 💀💀
Omg
Thanks 😊 so much amazing fan your words are so accurate and according. Thanks so much for all your unending support and sincerity. Where are you watching from?

I have to admit, I’m deeply ashamed of myself. Through all of these horrific tragedies… I’m ashamed to say, I have never thought of the Doctors and nurses that endure traumatic pain as well. I am so, so sorry. I’m so sorry I took you for granted. May God hold his hands over Dr. Liao, and all medical staff that are trying to find a way to get through this. I can’t imagine. 🙏🏻😔
They literally signed up to be a trauma surgeon... they had hundreds of choices to be this or that and she CHOSE this. She paid money to get PTSD why are you ashamed?
@@liltreefort2804 right, just like the police CHOSE to be the police, and then continue to not do their jobs.
@@dino9607 are you assuming? is there somewhere in my comment that i am against anyone?
I agree with what you said 100%
Edgy one uppers incoming..
@@liltreefort2804 you can still be ashamed to not recognize how much they do, ofc they chose it and I wouldn’t feel bad, but u can still show gratitude because that’s something I know I wouldn’t be able to do, so you thank her for doing it
No matter how much experience you have in this field when kids are involve, it will always break your heart. Thank you Doctor for your service, for everything that you do.

I can’t imagine the strength it takes to see what she sees and operate at a very high level under a stressful environment. She’s a hero in my book.
Sad that they even have to have a plan in place for mass shootings, but it's good they were ready to help those brought in.
Real hero
Rhodes scholars are real heros
Honey, people like her, in that high stress environment, they're at their BEST - they are DETERMINED. Thank God. Those babies are in GOOD HANDS. Trust.
Thanks be to God for this Dr and her team. They’re heroes in my book.
These Doctors and staff should be getting paid more than those worthless politicians.
Exactly ‼️
exactly!
Exactly!
Yes..!!
So agree. I work in the medical field and nurses and doctors risk their lives everyday and for low pay. God help 🙏😫😢
She is more than a doctor, she has human emotions welling up as she keeps talking and describing how she is dealing with things. She appears to be on the verge of tears and is fighting hard not to cry! It takes a person with deep compassion to deal with a trauma room full of kids! I can't imagine how to turn it off and start working on those little kids. She and her team are heroes! God bless tham all! San Antonio's children will be in good hands!
In today's world, you just need to put on a head covering and pretend you're a doctor...and minion zombies believe it??? Even if nothing she says makes any medical sense. The fluoride and TV PROGRAMING are working.
At 6:39-6:51 she already cried her nose turned red and tears ran down her right cheek and she wiped the tear.
What I find chilling (not coming from a country where we ever had a mass school shooting) is the way she said how well prepared "We will be for the next one".
That sentence in itself is absolutely chilling and she says it without a blink of her eyes showing just how conditioned people are over there to this happening again.
That’s also what caught my ear (not from the US either).
She talks about it like it’s a natural disaster where you can only prepare to minimise the damage of the outcome - not like it’s literally a man-made problem. But, as horrifying as it is, she is right: nothing will change in the near future and this will happen again and again and again and again and again... She just wants to do the absolute best that she can do where she’s at. WHAT A HERO!
Gun violence is the number one killer of kids and teens in the US right now. This is serious.
I'm so glad your country has never had a mass school shooting. I wish I could say the same about mine. We've had SO MANY over here in the US. We're not any closer to them going away. Every time one happens, we discuss gun reform, but nothing ever changes. I swear we had this exact same talk when Columbine happened in 1999.
@@angelamiller2577 I don't know how you live in that fear. That's like living in a war zone and ye have no war going on..well from outside the country.
The Australian example should be followed because when they banned guns except for hunting all their mass shooting stopped and their society wasn't/isn't as violent as it was when everyone could have guns.
Their history is a very good example of how a society can change but it takes a long time perhaps a few generations b4 gun culture is done away with.
Stay as safe as you can 🙏 🙏 🤲 going out for you and all America's children
not only that, but it was a prior shooting that meant they had the tools in place ready for this one. that's three layers of mass shootings that she's thinking about, all in one interview, without blinking or wavering. I read the unblinking matter-of-fact phrasing as her being beyond angry but knowing she has to accept it as reality. it's a constant conveyor belt of entirely preventable tragedy and it's horrific.
She looks and sounds completely traumatized. Bless her for her strength and keeping it together.
No doctor, parent or child should have to experience this. Ever.
She sounded like she was having trouble getting through the interview.
@@rubenc4465 trauma. God Bless her, her staff, and the families directly affected by this horror.
She was very professional in her response, and thanked everyone involved in their efforts to save as many lives possible. It was heartbreaking nevertheless to hear her recall the tragic event. I hope she receives the much needed love and support from her family and the community.
Your such fools! She is reading a script. Wasnt the scamdemic enough to open your eyes. Its ALL THEATRE!
Dr. Lao was trying to be strong but couldn't hold back the tears. I can't imagine what she saw. A big thank you to her and her whole staff for everything they're doing.
she saw what our military does to others daily.....since the 1950's Think about that. Its horrible, its a fact and its what the troops do over seas
She is strong, no buts
@@sea2959 maybe the us should stay out of other countries’ business.
@@R.M.3.14 as long as there’s money to be made they won’t
It's easy for her being a crisis actor and all.
She is intelligently trying to professionally decompress her emotional feelings safely. She is expressing her professionalism in her field with raw details, voicing her personal experience as a profession not a person off work. For that she is a very intelligent woman!
Absolutely. She is saying a LOT through her professional analysis. Saying someone can bleed out in 5 minutes and saying it only saved one in this case (although a precious one), when the police took so long. Her absence of personal opinion, let’s the facts shine. In describing what a bullet does to a child... she says a lot.
She understands that it's her responsibility to communicate effectively and that that can't be done when you're trying to stuff down your feelings. She felt the emotions, released them, and delivered her message. Smart lady.
You can see her grief and the tears in her eyes, the shakiness of her voice. Thank you for working to save these children.
I haven't stop looking over this for the past two days; what hurts me the most is what it was like in that classroom. Thinking about it over and over is tearing me up.
I can see she was trying so hard to hold back the tears. After 6 and a half minutes of this she couldn’t help herself. I hope she knows it’s okay and very understanding. We’re only human. It has to be unbearably different than Sutherland Spings seeing that these were all small children. I thank all the doctors, medical staff, first responders, teachers, and school staff. You’re all so special to our society. Please don’t let this act of Cowardice evil Deter y’all from the expert Careers you specialize in. We need you all. Pray y’all have the strength and determination not only to get through this but also continue 🙏🏽😢
Kind of reminds me of when Obama shed a tear talking about Sandy Hook and some republicans attacked him for it.
Please stop being political and dividing this country.. everybody has a heart.. be it Republican or Democrat .. you portrayed Republicans as heartless then what about the Dems that killed fetus in their wombs., those are voiceless & helpless human beings too.. there are bad guys on both sides.. NOW COUNTRY NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND FIND A SOLUTION !!!
@@mroberts566 insane. Their whole policy was built on twisting every moment to make him look bad. That’s called human empathy & actually “getting” the nation’s people. GOP have been the opposite of patriots a long time now
@@mroberts566 republicans are the enemy
If a trauma Dr. cannot hold back tears I can't imagine what it was like.
The way she turned red in an instant when asked about talking to the families of the casualties. My heart hurts for her. But I truly admire her courage. Bless you Doctor!
She has holding her tears and one tear rolled down towards the end. She kept her composure but she has a great heart because she acknowledged all the staff even when she was holding her tears.
There are very serious legal privacy issues due to the HIPAA and other health and medical related laws.
It is ILLEGAL for any doctor in the USA to divulge information about an individual's healthcare
(unless the individual is an inmate and releasing the info is for the safety of others).
The doctor rightfully did NOT give any personal confidential details about the families' private affairs.
i also think the “how are you and your staff holding up?” definitely brought the tears forward and she tried to stop them right after he said that and she answered
Is hard …. I have a daughter working at trauma … Two weeks ago … she need our words … to encourage her … she was emotional … break down … is hard …. to see young children’s in this situation ….😭😭
I read your comment an was saying no what do you mean an that I watched it..... Her nose cheeks an face got super red and part of it pale. What a stupid question to ask F that guy, how do u think they took it!!!! Dear god
Dr, Lillian Lou; Grace under Pressure. Thank you for your dedication and caring!
If you want to see a true hero at work it’s this woman!
The fact that the previous shooting helped her and her trauma team prepare for the next shooting shows us that they have been mindful enough to “do something” in order to make a bigger difference in their field of expertise while those in elected positions of power are content with recycling their condolences.
RIGHT ON! Best comment of the day.
Yes, politicians recycle their condolences. How many more such mass shootings (God forbid) they need before bringing gun control laws? There have already been so many mass killings not to mention several other kinds.... Why is US, the only country where school is not at all safe, still pondering over taking appropriate action?
I mean, what could those in power actually do to TRULY FIX this kind of thing? Restrict weapon access? Sure that would give us less casualties but we would still have casualties all the same. Stopping an emotionally and mentally unwell child/adult from having easy access to a gun doesn't cure their want for one in the first place.
Unless lawmakers implemented some kind of massive overhaul with the public school system, idk what could help this sort of thing from happening again and again... you really cannot rely on another kids parents to instill proper morals and beliefs into them, or expect every parent to teach their child proper emotional management, teach them about their self image and worth (lordy not in today's social media era), you honestly cannot depend upon adult parents to do their jobs in the home anymore period. The only way I see the main causes of these things getting fixed is through making sure every child is taught proper emotional and mental wellness and management at a young age. Confidence and humility, respect, pride, humble generosity... things you'd think we're common human sense and traits but they're disappearing from the young ones at an alarming rate these days...
But maybe if we can show kids that emotional management and education I'm talking about, maybe then THEY can grow into proper adults that raise children with those same types of morals and sense, to turn everything around for good someday in the future; but as of right now, none of what's truly going to help solve this problem is anywhere to be found.
Yep 🎯🎯🎯
She tried to hold back tears but couldnt, god bless her and the families.
Her tears are why they had her on tv
Crocodile tears. Check her twitter. She wants to cancel guns.
Such a Strong Surgeon God Gave Her The Strength To Get Through This Emotional Trama God Love Her❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😥
To watch such a professional response coming from someone so deeply entrenched in the situation and obviously controlling their own uncontrollable sobbing is absolutely heartbreaking. This is strength I do not think most are capable of comprehending.
Dr. Liao treated my 14 year old son who was shot back in March. She’s an excellent doctor. University Hospital is the best.
respect to the reporter for asking her how her and her staff are holding up, she fights back tears when asked that, sometimes people forget to ask how they are, same with the first responders, we get so lost in the tragedy of all of the losses but forget to check on the other people, on the other side of things.
Yea. Ppl forget we front line workers are human too.
Yes, they are forgotten in all the chaos. God bless them all and thank you for caring as much as you all do, especially in tragedies like this.
May God bless this doctor and all the team as well as first responders for all they do🙏They will never be the same and when I saw the tears she was so courageously holding back that was painful 💔
@@RichBuddy Hospitals in the San Antonio area treated more than a dozen people injured in a May 24 shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
Nineteen children and two adults were killed in the shooting at Robb Elementary School, the second deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, according to The New York Times.
Uvalde Memorial Hospital's emergency department received 14 patients after the shooting, 11 of whom were children, according to NPR. Two children also arrived at the hospital already deceased. Five children were transferred from the 25-bed hospital to larger trauma centers in San Antonio due to the severity of their injuries, Uvalde Memorial CEO Tom Nordwick told NPR. At least four patients were discharged May 24. (This was from a legit media source. So knock it off or you’re getting reported, buddy. 😡
What, asking that triggering emotion question is the news gold! The want to get emotion out of them. Ratings!

Awwwwn 🥰...... I'm so excited seeing your beautiful and mind blowing comment and I also want to tell you that I appreciate all your unending support 💖...... Where are you watching from?
God bless this woman and her incredible staff. We need to do better.
I am enraged over the loss of children and teachers, and the injury to many others. I have wept over these darlings. I taught 4th grade for 15 of my 27 years. That is an adorable age. My heart aches for the parents ,family and community. I am on their side. Yet... I pause because once again we have a troubled teenager who didn't get the parenting, guidance or treatment, he deserved.. Are we surprised?? And the arrogant deceitful left touts...... A RIFLE AND HANDGUN SUDDENLY COMES ALIVE GAINS INTELLIGENCE AND A PLAN, THEN RUN, AND begin to shoot. What a bunch if cockamamie.
you live in a sick and demented psychopathic society. first step is for you to admit that.
We???
Sad part is she basically said after last time we were ready….. what is the world coming to.
The Brookings Institute recently released a report that showed parents, both liberals and conservatives, are more worried about their sons’ futures than their daughters’. Our boys are not okay. Moms are worried about how this new world we’re living in will treat their boys today and in the decades to come.
I often wonder how things might be different if, 20 years ago, society had listened to the Factual Feminist Christina Hoff Sommers when she warned the public in her book, The War Against Boys, that there was indeed a war against boys and we’re leaving our boys behind to our own detriment. Rather than take her warnings seriously, she was accused of being a “Bootlicker of the Patriarchy” by feminists.
But Sommers was right, and sadly, because society continues to turn a blind eye to the issue, the problem has only gotten worse.
Parents are more worried about their sons’ futures than their daughters’.
In our zeal to empower girls, we have left our boys behind...for decades. Because we want to get more women into the top roles in society, we have ignored the peril of young males’ decline. We’re seeing the repercussions today. In addition to watching our boys fail while pushing girls ahead, there has been a mainstream anti-male propaganda campaign taking place, essentially shaming and blaming boys and their masculinity. They’re just defective girls. They’re inherently monsters. They must change to be acceptable in our modern-day society.
You might be thinking, “A boy crisis?! What are they talking about? Look at all the men at the top. Boys are doing just fine!” That’s the mainstream mentality, but when you stop to actually think about it, it’s absolutely ridiculous. There may be more men at the top of society, but that doesn’t mean boys and men are doing “just fine” everywhere else or that we should ignore the issues that affect them. Boys are struggling.
Boys Are Falling Behind Girls in School
Boys have fallen far behind girls academically. Our school system increasingly favors female traits and doesn’t respect boys’ unique style of learning, which only leads to the expansion of the education gender gap. Research also now shows that boys are more at risk of struggling and falling behind because of remote learning during the COVID pandemic.
Shouldn’t we be adequately preparing ALL children for the future?
Scholarships and programs disproportionately favor girls. Research shows that 92% of sex-specific scholarships are reserved for women, when 58.6% of college students are already female, and females earn the majority of associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, AND doctorate degrees! We’re watching boys fall far behind, and rather than DO something to encourage boys, we tell them they’re “the problem” while tripling down on “girl power!”.
The statistics are real. For every 100 girls, there are:
145 boys who repeat kindergarten
168 boys with communication disorders
180 boys who abuse drugs and alcohol
207 boys classified as having a learning disability
318 boys who die by overdose
237 boys diagnosed with ADHD
240 boys suspended from school
291 boys expelled from school
355 boys in public schools classified with emotional disturbance
Boys over 14 are 4x more likely to die by suicide
As a medical worker I see her pain, I refuse to work with kids for that reason, I have done it and it was brutal.
Same... I couldn't wait for my peds/ob rotation to end; I can't do it 😢☹️
Us moms appreciate you guys ☹️❤️
Yes me too! I lost my 1st (only born) son to SIDS and I only did peds 1 time as agency during an RSV outbreak!! Thank goodness for the RNs that are eager to care for the babies! Please take care and stay safe!
And yet people still care about making fuel prices cheaper, we should be changing gun laws to decrease the chances of another mass shooting.
@@MontanaDior I’ve got a year before I start rotations. I just want to go help the little guys.

It’s so sad! Her feelings for those kids are pronounce on her face. May God gives you more strength in this moment of challenge. Immense respect for the doctors and team taking care for the one injured and the families 🙏
all because of no gun care in america
I've worked in a school cafeteria and you see the children on a daily basis. I can say this...every child is important and you can see their little personalities developing and it's so important for the adults around a child be encouraging and loving and not just a strict disciplinarian. I think long before a child needs mental help a caring adult can reach out and keep reaching out when they are witnessing a change in their behavior. Every child deserves to be safe and have a safe place to go to when they are in trouble physically and mentally.
You are so right. Its so important for adults to see what our children go through daily. The gunman himself was once a child. I wonder if no one had seen the red flags. So many ifs that could not bring those lives back. I pray for the souls of those who lost their lives.
I agree, I was a cafeteria worker before at a middle school, it's important to interact & be nice. God help the families. Those babies this tears my heart!
Nice sentiments but not one kid matters to GQP who accept large donations from the NRA!
@@jmsj77 The gunman was cutting his face, posting animal abuse photos, delinquent from school, violent and also perhaps bullied, had a mother on drugs, posting gun photos and much more. He was giving all the clues and this info is coming out now.
The mental health system is broken because republicans refuse to deal with it or try and control the gun problem. Salvador Ramos could have and should have been in the mental health system. Not because everything in his life would peachy keen but because mental health professionals could have derailed him on this path. Or at the very least declared him a danger to others and locked him up.
❤
Such a caring doctor. I’m glad there are great people like her and the team to help people in great need.
I wonder though, how even a sane person can continue to square the fact that children's lives come second to the unfettered right of mentally deranged people to purchase military grade weapons.
God Bless all Doctors
She's a sick twisted anti gun freak. Check her Twitter.
That's there job!! I'm sure they get paid good money. & she went to school for years to accomplish her career choices & goals. So yeah thank you for doing your job correctly. Also i would like to thank the guys who pick up my garbage every week & for not leaving my trash cart tipped over on it's side & leaving it seating up right. Also i would like to thank my cable company for crawling around under my house to run my cable wire's with out him i would not be able to watch jerry Springer at 3pm every evening.
I couldn't listen to this, morbid minds feeding off of the grief and pain these people have to endure is just as bad as the trigger puller. Shouldn't ALL doctors be caring? Should that not be the norm? Is the death of these children any different than a child that may have died of cancer the day before.
If u look at her nose and cheeks while just before he asks her how they are coping u can literally see her nose turn red in a matter of seconds by the time she answers. What a heartfelt interview. So professional and strong yet so empathetic. Doctors like this give me hope. And I work closely with docs at my hospital.
I spent many , many years working in Emergency rooms and Intensive Care Units. A lot of tears are shed by healthcare professionals in non public areas. There are some patients and situations where your humanity cannot be controlled by your professional training. You experience the grief as well, and it stays with you. I am retired now but there are patients I still remember after many years with profound sadness. I feel Dr. Lao will be ok eventually as she moves on to save the ones who can be saved. We know you cannot save everyone...but the desire to do so is always present in you.
God bless this woman and keep giving her the strength to lead and heal.
Amen.

"If and when we have to deal with these mass casualty situations again" Her last words are chilling... She knows it WILL happen again in Texas.

And when

Seen a Dr at that level of responsibility getting emotional means that “Compassion” is whats she is teaching to the medical field. 💎🙏🏻
tears rolling down her cheeks. I watched a father broke down talkin on camera. Thank you doctors, nurses, and ambulance drivers for saving as many as you can.
She tried so hard to hold back tears, a professional and a surgeon, everybody gets affected when kids get injured or hurt even death, you can see the pain in her and the cracking of her voice, she’s probably a parent or a mother herself…
The fake "story" is no one was "injured". Only "deaths". And, two fake dads holding photos of same kid fake crying. Come on...this is a fraud from start to finish. Wonder what the goal is....hmmm....wonder what government might want to take away from citizens???
Utter nonsense she is a crisis actor, she should be arrested and charged
Hearing her voice break when he ask how her and everyone else is holding up. I lost it. I'm a nurse assistant and a mother to a child the same age as those babies. What an incredible surgeon and team.

I cannot begin to imagine! God bless you Dr!
this is so heartbreaking, watching her trying to hold back tears, and having one still drip down her cheek really hit me hard, the pressure of being responsible for saving those children's lives must be so insanely hard to deal with, the trauma that comes with a job like that must be life long.
If possible I would like to give Dr. Lillian Liao and her trauma team a standing ovation. What tremendous stamina and skill to handle such a horrific event that will continue for them (like she said) 24 hours at a time. Day after day working with these little people and with parents who no doubt feel so helpless. Jesus bless every person involved with this doctor and her facility.
Amen
Amen
Amen 😢

People who lost family members and those in medicine would rather have your vote to help get gun control laws passed more than prayers.
Man I could feel the pain and sadness of this doctor, it takes a lot to hold it and handle it the way she did. I would have been crying the entire interview.
Yeah she kept saying,"hmmmmm"
Me too.
She is trying to control her emotions as a tear is rolling down her cheek... such strength!
Shout to her and all surgeons for all you do and see each and everyday and especially children who’s victims of gun violence.
This is why when you see doctors and nurses, ask them how they are doing genuinely. Imagine being part of that trauma/traumatic team, but they too as doctors and nurses are getting traumatized. Every time I go for a general check-up, I‘d ask my doctor how she‘s doing and you know she would open up once in awhile, same thing happened to two other doctors and nurses I‘ve met in the hospital. I know it is their job to make us feel better, but let us not forget they are not invincible and they also appreciate people checking on them.
Doctors and RNs have high rates of cancer due to stress...
That is very kind of you to think about the people who are taking care of you, and how they are doing. Such compassion. I tend to not want to pry into their private lives, but I think I will start asking them how they're doing, to give them a little moment of relief to share how they're doing if they wish to.
Thank you!
I have been in the medical field for 22 years.I will never forget the first day seeing a 7 year old boy being shot in the head,it’s something you will never forget 💔💔💔
I cannot even imagine...
I am so very sorry! I lost my 1st born (only born) son to SIDS and as traumatic as that was and is, this seems so much worse for a baby to get shot!!:(:( Thank you Drs, Rns, and all the hospital staff our Prayers are with you!! Please take care and stay safe!!
I can so relate.... I was almost at the end of surgery residency. Patient was a toddler shot in the head by his 7 y/o brother. We did roughly an hour and a half of CPR + well beyond heroic surgical resuscitative measures in the trauma bay w/ zero signs of life, as his parents watched and screamed from roughly 7-8 feet away. Watching this clip, I started welling up when she did, as a mental Rolodex of specific family members to whom I've delivered bad news rolled thru my memory.
@@lp4660 yes you could see very clearly how she compartmentalized to do this interview. When he asks her experience these last 24hrs- she immediately reports a lot of logistical information devoid of emotion, or description of the injuries.. very dry & frankly not info that a lot of people were wondering about, kind of minutia for a laymen audience. Then he asks about telling the families & you do see crystal clearly the images flashing in front of her, the distance she kept, forced away by the question momentarily before she recovers it. Bless her heart. And yours. Thank you for your service.
@@ld3511 I’m so sorry for your loss
Watching those tears roll down her face really made me feel her emotion as well. She was fighting and holding back a lot more tears.
What a strong and compassionate doctor, I cried along with her. She is one of this country’s brave ones.
She's traumatized. She can't even answer the questions he's asking. She's trying so hard but you can tell she's in shock and can't gather her thoughts. I pray for this woman. She's gonna need it for a long long time. I'm so sorry you had to experience this. I'm so sorry. Thank you for being a super hero that saved the lives you could. 😭
I think she answered each question eloquently and with immense strength despite internally falling apart.
Eloquently sure, but she still didn't answer the questions she was asked. She is tougher than I am cuz I couldn't do her job
not to be insensitive but she is a trauma doctor- she is not traumatized
The CBS reporter was trying to sneak politics into the conversation.
The doctor RIGHTFULLY did not answer that facet of his leading questions.
She did an excellent job of answering according to her own motives, NOT his.
She gathered her thoughts JUST FINE.
@@gregcarter8656 He didn't ask something political. He mentioned it. How can you keep talking about politics in such a situation. Americans really have no more compession than saying "thoughts and prayers". How laughable you guys are,
Surgeons are incredibly brave and brilliant people, they have to desensitize themselves to be able to operate on an another human, but I don’t think anything could prepare someone for what they’ve been through the past few days. My heart goes outs to all that have been forever traumatized and destroyed by this absolute senseless tragedy, including the medical professionals who did everything they could for the lives lost.
You never become desensitized...you just learn to be a better actor
@@barbaraallen3054 Agree, it's a front. The feelings, the pain, the passion, the love for the patients is there
How do we know she's really even a "doctor"? Crisis actors pose as all kinds of stuff. Her eye blink rates shows 1000% she's lying about everything. A total lie.
Scientifically "blink rate" is a trusted nonverbal cue to know if person is LYING. Is this really a "doctor" in world of scammers? This individual's rapid blinking = lying.
Not "brave or brilliant" if one is a liar and fraud taking money as a crisis actor. Nothing she says makes any medical or logical sense.
I liked how she chose her words very wisely. “Projectile” very smart
"Based on our last experience"
How many times will we have to hear a pediatric surgeon use that phrase in relation to a school shooting in the US? 2? 5? 80? HOW MANY!?
Man I was trying to hold it together until her voice started cracking. I can’t imagine the strength it takes to hold it together when there are innocent little kids who were shot to death laying on a operating table. Kids without adult interference are innocent and happy. I can’t even fathom hurting them, it’s absolutely sickening. Praying for all parents involved. We have to do something. It’s not a left or right issues, it’s not a race issue. It’s affecting all of our loved ones.
Revolution
🙏🙏🙏
Power and money that prevent politicians to do sensible gun control.
Hateful teens killing innocent children and people has to stop.
This shocked me a lot - doctors tend to be extremely distant to suffering, surgeons more than regular doctors, trauma surgeons even more than other Surgeons.. it is a way of being able to do this job. As a trauma surgeon you‘d go insane if you took the suffering in too much .
I‘m a lawyer working in the medical sector. Seeing a high level Trauma surgeon give an interview with tears in her eyes and a cracking voice just shook me to the core. I don’t think People who don’t work in this Field understand just how significant this is - how unlikely for this particular specialty..
His questions are killing me. You can see her holding back tears, you can see her stress level rocket.
God bless her and all the hospital staff.
He wants that “dirty laundry” his job is to extract to the most emotional heart wrenching hysteria as possible”
What a caring soul you are greatly appreciate ❤
The fact that they had previous school shooting experience is enough to say we need to stop this madness!
Being courageous as she wiped away her tears 😢. Thank you for your service 🙏

are our everyday heroes.
1000% Respect for her professionalism... To have the strength to be so headstrong during a crisis such as this... This women deserves her recognition of heroism.

I could never do the job that she’s doing. What an amazing, strong, and kind woman.
You can just feel her emotional pain near the end of this clip. Even through her professionalism in the beginning, seeing children hit by these high-velocity projectiles must have been heart-wrenching to witness and do surgery on. God Bless Dr. Liao.
As I look at this, I look at this Dr. face and the redness of her nose looks to be fighting back tears. What an extraordinary woman and team to be able to keep composure to save the live of theaes children.
when asked how she’s holding up, and her staff, she tries to respond and you can see her holding back the tears right then
Crocodile tears people. Check her twitter. She wants to cancel guns.
I just want to give that doctor a big hug. The pain she must feel..
Such a strong 💪🏼 beautiful woman. She held it together. You could tell when he asked her how she was and how it was telling families she fought back tears. Such an amazing doctor & caring. My respect 🫡

My heart just breaks again... this time for Dr. Liao and her team for the strength and courage they all must have to deal with this kind of situtation and especially young children. Big hugs to her and her team! THANK YOU!!

She must be so exhausted, mentally physically and emotionally. I can't imagine what it's like to already be taking care of people who are seriously injured, and then all of a sudden have this burst through your door. Medical staff are so underappreciated, and the past three years must have been an ongoing nightmare for some of them with the pandemic and events like this piled on top. They need all the encouragement and support we can give.
They literally choose this job... not like some class based system where you can't be something under doctor... not chosen by a magic hat... not forced by a dictator... they literally choose to be a specific type of doctor once they get past a point. I know people who wanted to be one type and realized how hard and stressful it is so they went with an easier gig with similar pay. Im not saying this specific event or scene is wanted or to be bragged about but i've seen and heard stories of doctors bragging about how raw or crazy and situation was and how ppl threw up and they barely save him or he dies. If you can't handle the heat then don't come in the kitchen. Have you ever been to the emergency room on a busy day? They treat you like just another number in and out.... NEXT!!! The only ppl there who even show a little sympathy are the younger female nurses.
I have heard there is a 24 hour waiting time in the ER if you walk in :(
@@ratherbfishing455 Where in uvalde? i wouldnt be suprised thats a small town and just had 19 kids die... suprised its not more like 48

@@liltreefort2804 don’t be so ignorant. They’re human not robots.
This awesome doctor is sleep deprived, and no doubt she hasnt had time to catch her breath. She's still trying to process the trauma of the event, as well as cope with the high stress load of saving lives and facing loss of lives. Thank you and Bless you.
This doctor can bearly talk, she got emotional. I can only imagine what she and her team are going trough seeing these children injured physically and mentally
Imagine going from professionalism and doing what needs to be done in a non-emotional way. To dealing with it afterwards. Being able to do that is definition of strength. Several of these kids may have grown up to be like her, one never knows. But cannot help thinking about that. So much is robbed from so many people in these life ending/changing events.
I worked in the ER as a Tech, the things I’ve seen as well, we go home and cry in the shower, seeing children hurt in any capacity is bad, I couldn’t imagine working on a child with a high capacity gun shot wound.
Who cares. Shes a gun control nut job. Check her twitter.
@@michellewhatshername5577 And i love you for that. If a person who loses faith in humanity, and asks to see where one should go to regain it. Then i would point to the medical profession everytime. Most peoples minds i believe would immediately advice to go for the church or the faith. I think to better understand faith, one needs to experience what it is beyond words. People who work for more hours straight than anyone anywhere to save another person... Or watching the depth of love that people have for one another in ways you never see in public. Then Hospitals have stories to both show and tell about that, which should humble even the worst heathen.
I always found that to be the most saddening fact. That stardom and fame is where the money is generated. Rather than where it should be. Amongst our professionals in society who save lives everyday and having to deal with copious amounts of stress and personal trauma. The latter part is rarely shown, and i think not fully understood. Which is why amongst the police force you find a separate comradeship that outsiders have no insight into and don't understand. There are plenty of doctors who see therapists and in some instances they also self-medicate. A taboo which is not mentioned, because outsiders wouldn't understand. We should take care of these people just as much as they care for us.
i agree, i would not be able to work from crying over what i see most likely
Scientifically "blink rate" is a trusted nonverbal cue to know if person is LYING. Is this really a "doctor" in world of scammers? This individual's rapid blinking = lying.
I can feel the pain in her voice.
And see the tear running down her left cheek.
How could a normal human being would do such a horrible act toward a bunch of innocent vulnerable kids. Unimaginable
I love her ! She shows how dedicated and meaningful her job is ! 👏❤️ Thank you for being you !!
She was "sad they were prepared for more patients." Meaning that there were more fatalities than critical injuries... Heartbreaking.
So heartbreaking 🥹🥹🥹
What a tower of strength, compassion and professionalism
That didn’t click with me until I read your comment…awful…
It is the most heartbreaking part of this interview to me. They knew many got shot but most didn’t make to the hospital 💔
The Brookings Institute recently released a report that showed parents, both liberals and conservatives, are more worried about their sons’ futures than their daughters’. Our boys are not okay. Moms are worried about how this new world we’re living in will treat their boys today and in the decades to come.
I often wonder how things might be different if, 20 years ago, society had listened to the Factual Feminist Christina Hoff Sommers when she warned the public in her book, The War Against Boys, that there was indeed a war against boys and we’re leaving our boys behind to our own detriment. Rather than take her warnings seriously, she was accused of being a “Bootlicker of the Patriarchy” by feminists.
But Sommers was right, and sadly, because society continues to turn a blind eye to the issue, the problem has only gotten worse.
Parents are more worried about their sons’ futures than their daughters’.
In our zeal to empower girls, we have left our boys behind...for decades. Because we want to get more women into the top roles in society, we have ignored the peril of young males’ decline. We’re seeing the repercussions today. In addition to watching our boys fail while pushing girls ahead, there has been a mainstream anti-male propaganda campaign taking place, essentially shaming and blaming boys and their masculinity. They’re just defective girls. They’re inherently monsters. They must change to be acceptable in our modern-day society.
You might be thinking, “A boy crisis?! What are they talking about? Look at all the men at the top. Boys are doing just fine!” That’s the mainstream mentality, but when you stop to actually think about it, it’s absolutely ridiculous. There may be more men at the top of society, but that doesn’t mean boys and men are doing “just fine” everywhere else or that we should ignore the issues that affect them. Boys are struggling.
Boys Are Falling Behind Girls in School
Boys have fallen far behind girls academically. Our school system increasingly favors female traits and doesn’t respect boys’ unique style of learning, which only leads to the expansion of the education gender gap. Research also now shows that boys are more at risk of struggling and falling behind because of remote learning during the COVID pandemic.
Shouldn’t we be adequately preparing ALL children for the future?
Scholarships and programs disproportionately favor girls. Research shows that 92% of sex-specific scholarships are reserved for women, when 58.6% of college students are already female, and females earn the majority of associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, AND doctorate degrees! We’re watching boys fall far behind, and rather than DO something to encourage boys, we tell them they’re “the problem” while tripling down on “girl power!”.
The statistics are real. For every 100 girls, there are:
145 boys who repeat kindergarten
168 boys with communication disorders
180 boys who abuse drugs and alcohol
207 boys classified as having a learning disability
318 boys who die by overdose
237 boys diagnosed with ADHD
240 boys suspended from school
291 boys expelled from school
355 boys in public schools classified with emotional disturbance
Boys over 14 are 4x more likely to die by suicide
This is what true heroes look like. We are so grateful to have doctors like her in this world. She is an example to us all.
Sadly not all are grateful for healthcare workers or the parents of kids killed in school shootings.
@@mirafloyd5756 I think this pandemic has shown the real heroes in our society. The healthcare workers and emergency services are not paid nearly enough for their dedication and heroism. As society we need to wake up and make them amongst the highest paid employees.
No it's not, she is a fraud and a crisis actor, she should be arrested and jailed for life.
Thank you all for all you did! Please take care of yourselves also!
This is absolutely heartbreaking! God bless this doctor and her trauma team!!!

I was an EMT for a number of years here in California, practicing both on the ambulance and in a Level 2 Trauma Center. There is a special place that should be held in high reverence for those who specialize in the medical care of children. Some people in medicine cant work with the elderly, for one reason or another. Some people, like myself, can't or could not work on children. Even though I had to in my work as an EMT, it was something that always bothered me. No one should be in hospitals, but children in particular should not be in hospitals,. They should be outside running in the grass with their friends and getting grass stains on their knees.
The level of professionalism that Dr. Liao exhibited is without words. I have seen, first hand, the absolute destruction that a high velocity weapon, like an AR15, can do to an adult. I can not imagine what it can do to the body of a 10 year old. I can only imagine the mental anguish. I'm sure she went into her office after her cases were done and cried. I know I would have. Thank you to Dr. Liao and her team for an incredible effort to save as many lives as possible.
Thank you for sharing this very touching message
After going through clinicals I found my calling in geriatrics and end of life care. They’re so overlooked, and it just spoke to me. I found where I belonged. I couldn’t deal with pediatrics. I wasn’t even a mom at the time, but I felt like my heart was going to stop seeing any baby or child in distress. I knew I couldn’t be strong for the patients or parents. These are special people in this field. Nothing but praise and adoration. 🙏 ❤️
We often forget how traumatic this is for the Dr’s and Nurses. I am so grateful for the hard work they do.
She’s incredible, as are all the trauma surgeons and hospitals working so hard. Thank you
How do you know
The way her face turns red with sadness and helplessness breaks my heart, the doctors deserve everything and sometimes life sucks.
Her face turns red and high blink rate means she's LYING.

When my kids were little I worked at children’s hospital in New Orleans . I would go home and cry cry cry. I had to transfer. I couldn’t deal with the kids with cancer I knew I was not in a place I could be helpful. I stayed in the bathroom, couldn’t see the parents without breaking down. It’s stressful.
The bullet of an AR-15 destroys the body of children
