00:00When you have a victim who is a bigger body mass and they're hit with gunfire, that's one thing, of course, it depends on where they're hit.
00:11But when you have a child who needs a smaller body mass, can you talk about the scope of devastation when it's a child?
00:23Well, I mean, I think, you know, so the psychological aspect, I think I mentioned a little bit earlier, how, you know, managing one child is difficult.
00:39Managing a multitude of children at the same time takes an enormous amount of resources.
00:44But I think, you know, if you're talking specifics about, like, ballistics and injury, is that my answer?
00:50Am I getting your question?
00:51Like, you're talking about what the bullet does to the specific body part?
00:56Not necessarily.
00:57Just that, you know, you have a smaller body mass and a bullet.
01:02Yeah.
01:02And on a smaller body mass, the potential for the devastation is...
01:06Yeah, and, you know, so, yeah, so children, when they're injured, have a unique ability to sort of maintain their circulation
01:19and their life, sort of, like, their blood pressure and their heart rate and stuff, keep themselves alive, until they don't.
01:25So adults are a little bit more telling.
01:27Children are seemingly, they sort of are kind of plugging along, and then all of a sudden they're not.
01:32We talk a little bit about minutes and seconds and sometimes matter.
01:35But in these circumstances, I mean, yeah, one bullet wound to a chest and a child, you know,
01:40if it's in a place where there's big blood vessels and things that could end your life quickly, there's not as much room for error.
01:48And so you have to, you know, evaluate them quickly and manage them efficiently and fix basically the holes that are made from the bullets.
01:56But as far as the, I mean, I don't know if I'm answering your question correctly, but the stakes are a bit higher, I mean, I think would be the answer, the short answer.
