HAMPTON ROADS, Va. â The recent uptick in violent crime has area hospitals responding to an unusually high number of traumas. This comes as the nation faces a severe shortage of blood.
As more gunshot victims flood into hospitals, trauma cases go up - and so does the demand for blood, with Virginiaâs ERs seeing a 10% jump in demand this year.
âThis is [an] unprecedented shortage that we ve never seen before,â said Dr. Daniel Munn, the chief of surgery at Riverside Regional Medical Center. âWe are basically receiving about half of what we would normally have as our standard order of blood products. We re constantly on shortage and constantly trying to maintain our normal operations with much more limited blood supply.â
