Zoe Maher, MD, Assistant Professor of Surgery at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, was interviewed by The Trace for an article about “scoop-and-run” or “scoop-and-go,” when police take gunshot and stabbing victims to the hospital themselves rather than wait for an ambulance. Ian Hirst-Hermans, Trauma Counselor at Temple University Hospital, shared his personal experience as a gunshot victim who was transported to TUH by police via scoop-and-run. The piece also ran in Slate.
