including this super fast ct scanner that can provide, full body imageness 10 seconds saving lives with a large scale incident like what happened in las vegas depends on quick treatment and a experienced, trauma team. >> for situation of this magnitude, clearly we would shift into mass casualty incident mode. >> reporter: doctor pat lee, trauma director of penn says is there well establish protocol for treating a large number of severely injured patients. >> a tragedy of this scale, it would overwhelmed any single hospital, really all hospitals would be on alert and activate their own disaster plans. >> reporter: in addition to penn philadelphia has four level one trauma centers: jefferson, temple, einstein an hahnemann. with a mass casualty incident an emergency system is activate todd coordinate what patients go where, for trauma teams a mass shooting with automatic weapons like what happened in las vegas is especially challenging. >> these injuries can be much more destructive then the usual civilian gunshot wounds. >> reporter: he said automatic

clinical professor doctor ebony right here from drexel university and she is going to answer some of these questions doctor white, turf start first , we're practically a country away, in terms of the geographical distance from las vegas but yet so many of us feel that hurt in our hearts ace we're watching then fold. sit possible for to us still be deeply affected and what do we do those feelings when we're so far away. >> as you are speaking earlier secondary trauma can feel the same as, if you were there for the incident, and so because we're inundate by media and soaks media we see these events happen over and over again, even though it is far away it can still be close and leave us feeling helpless and sometimes hopeless. >> as we see is there strength in numbers, people are coming, throngs to give blood, what can communities do on a whole when it comes to events like this. >> i think the mistake we make is being silent about things like this we go to different religious institutions and they will say anything from

their platforms. you'll go to schools and is there so much hush on the topic that people don't know how to talk bit. the first we have to do is not be silent on the issue. teachers need to be talking about this in the classroom. parents certainly need to talk about this with their children absolutely in your community, your community officials, your churches, mosques, religious institutions something need to be said that we have you feeling this emotional connection and we will work it out. >> in this day and age there is just violence that surround s kind of every where in the city of philadelphia and surrounding area. we talk about violence that is happening every single night. >> every single day. >> then we have something like this that is just on a mass scale, how do you start, i mean do we become desensitized to it and how do you process it and in the become de sensitized to it. >> unfortunately in urban communities especially those with violence, they are already trying to deal with or navigate their own communities when they have this

preparation for an event that they anticipate, right. so in communities of violence you kind of, you already figured out where to be and don't be at the wrong place at the wrong time. you have this kind of preparation that we can rely on. when things like this happen, there is no preparation for this. so it already compounds that sense of helplessness abe makes feel feel less safe and can lead to depression and substance boost as you know. >> you talked about the children. in talking to the children there were some children there on the shoulders of their parents. what is the first thing you do when it comes to talking to the little won. >> fire thing to know eyes language that makes sense to them and don't start with information. you want to follow their lead. ask them first what do you know about what happened? because you don't want to give them too much. you don't necessity where they are then what do you want to know from me so you can follow their lead. gauge where they're motionly and the information that they have. >> that is a great point. >> indeed, very helpful. >> thanks very much. >> doctor white, thanks for coming in we appreciate it. our coverage of the shooting in las vegas continues, at 5:55, we will
