South Side Trauma Center

  • U. of C. Medicine is set to launch the first adult trauma center on the South Side in decades next month after gaining approval from the Illinois Department of Public Health.

    The Level 1 adult trauma center will fill the hole left in trauma care since Michael Reese Hospital closed its center in 1991.

    U. of C. stopped offering adult trauma care in 1988, and underserved South Side residents have long advocated for the opening of such a center.

    The center will provide specialized care for traumatic injuries, including gunshot wounds, and will also include services such as outpatient psychiatry to help patients transition back into the community.
About damn time.

Have Rham foot the bill for the psych services he stole from the communerty... all I seen he did with the cash was paint bicycle lanes and install flowers planters in the middle of the street-- what's the sense with that?

A few years ago there were 4 shot at Cabrini Green and they were brought to Northwestern ER. These 4 threw the ER up for grabs. Next the CPD guys in the ER are calling a 10-1 as they were out numbered by even more friends/relatives of the shootee's. After that melee was taken care of the CFD is now delivering more people shot coming all the way from the south side. Upon leaving we went out past the ER patient waiting area which was filled with the Gold Coast people (well dressed, appearing civilized & affluent) some looking to be in pain. My thoughts were little did they know they had a very long wait ahead of them because of the gsw traumas which will always be ahead of them.And when they did get into the ER they may have to put up with some of the thug patients. Northwestern ER is probably great but I would hightail it to some suburban hospital or an immediate care before going there.

If Rahm wants to lower the homicide even more he could embed trauma surgeons in with the police. Pitch the medic tent right at the scene and start operating. Why wait precious minutes for a bam-bu-lance!

That the South Side is classified as "underserved" speaks volumes. Consider just WHY that is.

* Lack of payment from the patrons?
* Theft
* Vandalism
* Increased need for security
* Increased costs for delivery
* Increased costs for service providers


When entering a war zone, higher levels of protection are necessary and that has a cost associated with it. Hospitals are businesses - when you get enough people that don't pay, won't pay, can't pay - you don't have a business, you have a charity. And unless you have some kind of giant fund or foundation paying for everything, you can't stay in business very long.

It'll be interesting to see just how long this thing sticks around in the middle of a War Zone/Crime center.

Sorry SCC, this is a net "bad thing" for the citizens of Chicago. That story covers nothing of the information that thinking people want to know, such as "who's paying for it?"

All it's going to do is enrich the usual suspects with the construction and operating kickbacks, burden the decent taxpayers with costs, and save worthless vermin so that they can continue to be a burden upon the taxpayer instead of enriching the soil.

Who's going to pay for the life saving efforts? The other question is once the "victim" is saved and possibly prosecuted how much total cost would that be. Medical costs to save life + prosecution costs + incarceration cost= ?? Millions.
Maybe its best to leave things be.

At night at NW ER its like the night of the living dead. A few months ago, after seeing what was in the ER, I went back to my vehicle and retrieved my 45 while sitting with wife waiting for treatment. Most looked like homeless fucks and this is proof, Obama Care is not working. The above is correct, if you find yourself in need of an ER, go to the the Burbs. On the subject of Obama Care, trying to get medical care such as surgery, your wait is much longer since Obama.

from the Tribune: " ...Researchers at Columbia University in New York have been studying the Twitter behavior of more than 200 gang members in Chicago .....one important trend in the tweets — the aggressive posts that draw so much attention are often preceded by something more like a cry for help or an expression of loss or grief....."

Using twitter to find "grief" posts as a way to head off violence...is hopeless as using recordings of gun shots to head off violence.

Syria is in the middle of civil war. History has shown them to be the most savage and brutal of all wars. Especially if there is a religious angle to it.

Why get involved in that so we can take fire from both sides?

There is no national interest at stake. This would be a mistake comparable to Afghanistan.

Hmm! Didn't Michelle Obama, as a VP for UC's Billings Hospital, and David Axelrod conspire to stop the south side "dregs", from using the hospital's ER, which generated an average of $1,000 @ patient loss? The alternative was to send the "dregs" to other facilities far away from the south side. UC isn't as wealthy as Northwestern. Is the money for this new trauma center coming from UC's usual local supporters? Will treatment be on site or referral? Recall that the recently shot Charles Thomas was taken to Northwestern and his family has complained that UC's student mental health service suggested an outside referral rather than in-house treatment. When the cheering's stopped, that's the time for a close watch. Follow the money - if you can find it.

A man was wounded in a shooting on the Near North Side Tuesday afternoon, less than an hour after a teenage boy suffered a gunshot wound in an attack on the South Side, according to Chicago police.

Emergency crews were called to the 700 block of North Dearborn Street just after 12:05 p.m. and an ambulance took the victim, a male, to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, said Fire Department spokesman Larry Merritt.

A deputy commissioner in the New York Police Department, Garry McCarthy, was found guilty yesterday in connection with an altercation a year ago with two New Jersey police officers. Mr. McCarthy, a deputy commissioner of operations who oversees the Compstat crime-tracking program, was fined $200 for blocking traffic during a Feb. 18, 2005 dispute at a gas station along the Palisades Interstate Parkway. Mr. McCarthy approached two plainclothes members of the Palisades Interstate Police who had just issued a summons to Mr. McCarthy's 19-year-old daughter, who was driving another car. A judge ruled that Mr. McCarthy had blocked traffic with his police-issued vehicle while he and his wife confronted the officers. The officers grabbed Mr. McCarthy's gun and handcuffed him, and restrained his wife when she attempted to recover the gun.

Lori lightfoot trys to fire a police officer every chance she gets. Needs to be removed from the police board.
Not impartial at all.
Pressure needs to be brought by the membership.
Your former Fop prez Disability Dean was all hugs and kisses with Lori today at the City Club. Then Dean will submit his expense report for the tix.
Graham too busy stuffing his face at the buffet table to notice.

OT: did I hear correctly? Did some liberal fucking moron reporter give Commander Paul Bauerr’s murderer a voice and interview him. This motherfucker is calling himself a martyr, and the reporter actually compares the two men. What the fuck why give this piece of shit a voice? He should be put in a hole and never heard from again..

Lutheran General is no Sunday in the park. I had a breathing problem and Luth Gen put me in a 2 patient room with one sink and toilet that I had to share with a guy who was coughing and spitting his lungs out. I spent the rest of the night in the visitor waiting room using the visitors bathroom. Next morning they put me in a 1 patient room. Nurses were nice but the hospital is way overcrowded and the nurses are overworked. ♠️

In all reality this is a good thing. I know many are bitter on this job but in 22 years I still don’t like seeing ANYONE die. Call me religious or soft or whatever but that’s just me.. however I know the Social justice warrior nurses who have signed up for the ER because they are going to save the world are in for one hell of a ride. Can’t wait to see how all the young naive liberal white girls from their small towns in Ohio and Minnesota fare outside of the university of Chicago classroom bubble where they learn to pay themselves on the back for anything they do. Well, now you get to deal with the folks from 75th street and 64th and King etc. can’t waituntil the folks of “O Block” swarm your ER and you put on your liberal happy face to try and save everyone and they start flinging Poo and hanging from the rafters because their 23 year old gang banger baby got shot in the foot and they threaten to sue you just because you are there and they want to hear themselves yell and scream. I’m sure all the “murda Town” folks will all act reasonable in your ER when three of them are delivered with so many holes they look like sprinklers. Good luck little white girls, you’re about to see what the real world really looks like. They will be voting for trump in no time...

Keep your dick and your money in your pants.
This ain't the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Psychiatiary
today is a 15-minute visit, and then you are handed
Rx's. The Doctor is mandated to see 4 patients per
hour for "productivity." Good luck with that business
model. You can't do right by the body or mind in 15
minutes. Community Psychiatiary is a band aid and
a dog and pony show. Just think of it. Once the Doctors
are there long enough to see a patient one-on-one, you're
gonna have a greenhorn Doctor up against seasoned
psychos with 30 years of problems under their belts.
The doctors are guaranteed to miss subtle signs and are
easily fooled by medication seekers.

A photo which surely you yourself did not have the opportunity to sit for; I’m assuming you didn’t graduate given your spelling of “plack.”

I’m always entertained when the morons on this department expose their stupidity while insulting others. I’m the first to say the college requirement is bullshit. But some of our own writing is either a clear byproduct of CPS or their partners have been writing their reports for them.

Outpatient psychiatric would be a plus for the community. I'm sick of waiting for a C.I.T. trained officer. I've dealt with and succeeded with many mental suspects. The usual TACT units are the last thing these folks need.

I knew a 6'4'' 350 pound mental who when he was on medication and receiving outpatient services was fairly decent. Off the meds and he was a nightmare to deal with and required a number of cars to handle.

A few years ago there were 4 shot at Cabrini Green and they were brought to Northwestern ER. These 4 threw the ER up for grabs. Next the CPD guys in the ER are calling a 10-1 as they were out numbered by even more friends/relatives of the shootee's. After that melee was taken care of the CFD is now delivering more people shot coming all the way from the south side. Upon leaving we went out past the ER patient waiting area which was filled with the Gold Coast people (well dressed, appearing civilized & affluent) some looking to be in pain. My thoughts were little did they know they had a very long wait ahead of them because of the gsw traumas which will always be ahead of them.And when they did get into the ER they may have to put up with some of the thug patients. Northwestern ER is probably great but I would hightail it to some suburban hospital or an immediate care before going there.

A few years ago??? How about last September 12th? I am a 61 yr old white female and had to go to ER for an abcess. Horribly painful BTW. Went to NW ER at 7:00 a.m. and it was filled to the brim with thugs, homeless, creeps, etc. I (the only white person in the ER also) sat (as much as I could, the pain was horrible) as far away as I could from anyone and waited 2 hrs before being helped. In that time I saw: a woman in a wheelchair take off her clothes, pull her feces filled blanket over her head (dried feces flew everywhere) and I got up to tell the desk and they came and told her she can't do that. They also brought her a tray of food. Why? Who knows, she was homeless. They were being nice I guess. A man was talking on the payphone to nobody the entire time, shoeless and shirtless. Again, the desk came and told him to stop pacing. Two gang members who stank to high heaven were next to me talking a language that was not intelligible however they thought it was english, pants barely on, absolutely filthy. I could go on and on. It is NOT a clean ER waiting room, it is not hygienic, it is not safe and it is not anywhere I will ever go again. If I wasn't in so much pain I would have gone to the northern suburbs ER, but I could hardly sit, much less drive. I will never forget this experience and I highly advise everyone to stay the hell out of the shit hole ER. The entire city has turned into a shit hole. I don't live there anymore either but I still read your blog every single morning. God bless all of you.

Apologies, in advance, for parsing you:

#1... But there is no arguing with the truth.

Community never argues, always denies, with or without the hooping and hollerings....


#2... The cold hard facts show that black folks are shooting each (other) more than anyone else.

Were this to remain substantially accurate, the community would deny, deny, deny....and continue to die....


#3... Cry racism all you want.

The community has this as policy written in the stones of their communal noggins. True dat...


#4... Instead of acting like perpetual victims, how about actually admitting the problem and try to change the culture of violence and dependence.

The culture of the community IS violence & dependence. It's as if the community wants slavery without the imposition of doing any work.


#5... This Savage behavior can't continue.

With u of c becoming a trauma center they don't know what's coming. A big safety issue that has been brought up is the fact that there is NO protocol in place for U of C police or security except to escort friends and family of a trauma patient ACROSS THE STREET to the main hospital waiting area. That is either going to make them think that person is already dead and set them off or usher the rivals all together in the same spot and make it a shootout. They also think that CFD will "know to send rival parties to different locations". Anyone with a few seconds out in the real world can tell you that incidents can be blocks apart and very unclear in the moment, not to mention when getting someone to a trauma center is the concern. The also realized that the sensors for the ambulance bay are set to low and a car can trigger them so a rival can get access to the ER that way. They currently have no plans to lock down the campus like Northwestern and Christ do for every stabbing/shooting. The ER bay only holds 3 ambulances before the fire lane is blocked and they have no protocol to send security or U of C police out to cottage Grove Ave to look after an ambulance parked outside. The big safety issue there is someone realizing that ambulance was at the scene and taking out their frustration on the crew or ambulance. Does anyone know if U of C police or the hospital has even reached out to CPD? I know the U of C police and security are not happy with the lack of planning and have said it's all coming down from the hospital administration.

I have two nephews' that were residents at U/C hospital. They regretted accepting U/C' offer pf 4 years as a resident there and 2 years on a fellowship. They were offered a position as staff and hit the road and went to Rush and N.W.

Other then the wealthy who were secluded from the general patients there, the patients admitted were mostly thugs and even older folks from the So. side that beefed about everything like they were footing the bill. These patients and their kin of 20 people at a time rip the hospital off of anything imaginable. They even stole light fixtures. The drug cabinets were found broken into when the staff left their desk for a minute.
Most of the doctors that are vested at U/C are staying put until they decide to hit the bricks and retire. The staff there remains top shelf and the donor' and legit people (any race) that go there, get insulated and are well cared for. The patients of the hood that have zero mannerisms, and beef they are hungry and want to be feed at 0300 get cared for at the set minimum as required.
U/C will be broke in no time taking on all the bangers. FYI, North Western get shooting victims that the CFD know they might no be among the living when they pull up to the ER. The body snatches of the county to take them for a ride to the ME should has two units on stand by ! Just like fast food windows, in and out.

The trauma surgeons want ads is up and going for spots at U/C. Tall ass $ and a tall signing bonus. The military surgeons, all top shelf, retiring, will take the position. They are used to working in a war zone, in the middle East and now in Chicago.
