And why can’t we stop this uniquely American problem? Joseph Sakran was 17 when a stray bullet went through his throat and struck him in the left shoulder. He survived and that experience altered the course of his life. He is now a trauma surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, a city that continues to be plagued by shootings. Dr. Sakran joins the show to discuss his own experience and trying to put an end to gun violence.
