abstract="Firearm injury in the United States is a public health crisis in which physicians are uniquely situated to intervene. However, their ability to mitigate harm is  limited by a complex array of laws and regulations that shape their role in firearm  injury prevention. This piece uses four clinical scenarios to illustrate how these  laws and regulations impact physician practice, including patient counseling, injury  reporting, and the use of court orders and involuntary holds. Unintended  consequences on clinical practice of laws intended to reduce firearm injury are also  discussed. Lessons drawn from these cases suggest that physicians require more  nuanced education on this topic, and that policymakers should consult front-line  healthcare providers when designing firearm policies.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
