Comforting none the less.
I'm not so sure about that, the article seems to point out the lower homicides are actually a result of better treatment,
rather than fewer people trying to kill each other.
The rate has gone down according to people dying, but not being attacked.
I don't know what comfort that brings.
I wonder if the advances of surgical medicine WRT gunshots wounds can be directly attributed to the influx of combat physicians and surgeons who have returned from armed conflicts over the past 25 years? Seems to me that they'd definitely have alot more expertise in dealing with gunshot wounds than your run of the mill ER physician, Detroit and South Central Los Angeles excluded.
So you go from being the victim of a homicide to the victim of an assault because of medical science. That's definitely a good thing but, you're still a victim none the less.

That makes sense. Lord knows that a lot of advancements in surgical techniques are brought about by military doctors in theatre.

Better alive than dead.
Exactly.

I've read a few articles on this in recent days, and they say for certain that the war in Afghanistan and lessons learnt on the battlefield are a direct cause of better ER trauma care and survival rates.
