Episode 1: The American Violence Emergency

By: Kate O'Connell, Nashia Williams

Narrated by: Nashia Williams, Katie O'Connell

School nurse Robin Cogan’s father lost his entire family to a shooting in 1949 in Camden, NJ. Decades later, her niece Carly survived the Parkland, Florida school shooting. Kate and Nashia describe the terrible feeling of the red phone going off in the ER — and knowing it may mean that victims of a “mass casualty incident” are approaching their doors. They talk with Robin about the root causes of mass violence in America, and Kate is surprised by Robin’s framework.©2023 Pizza Shark Productions LLC (P)2023 Audible Originals LLC

Insightful & Informative! Highly recommend !

This is a must-listen! Kate and Nashia’s conversations are informative and important for everyone to hear. Spoken from the hearts of two ER nurses in NYC, these topics are explored with sincerity and leave you feeling more solution based and less doomed about the major issues facing our nation.

A reality driven perspective

The hosts here offer a perspective on gun violence as seen from the emergency room where victims of gun violence end up if they are lucky. This context offers a perspective on this issue away from the text based and hypothetical scenarios which are often thrown around.

Thoughtful, provocative, practical, authentic. And essential.

A fantastic podcast from two experienced nurses who’ve been through the wars and still refuse to leave anyone hurting on the field. Should be essential listening for the HHS, NHS and every state and local health department. And for anyone who cares about their neighbors, those they know and those they don’t.
