abstract="This qualitative study describes the lived experience of physicians who work in communities that have experienced a public mass shooting. Semi-structured interviews  were conducted with seventeen physicians involved in eight separate mass casualty  shooting incidents in the United States. Four major themes emerged from constant  comparative analysis: (1) The psychological toll on physicians: &quot;I wonder if I'm  broken&quot;; (2) the importance of and need for mass casualty shooting preparedness:  &quot;[We need to] recognize this as a public health concern and train physicians to  manage it&quot;; (3) massive media attention: &quot;The media onslaught was unbelievable&quot;; and  (4) commitment to advocacy for a public health approach to firearm violence: &quot;I want  to do whatever I can to prevent some of these terrible events.&quot;<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
