Quote of the Day (Tyler Brule, on the Post-Shooting Suffering of the Vegas Massacre Survivors)



“With more than 500 people injured, Nevada's medical system is going to be overwhelmed for years to come by the need for specialised physio, psycho and occupational therapy treatment that demands doctors with battlefield experience rather than sports therapy training. Rather than waiting for the next attack, media outlets might commit to rolling coverage of what it’s like to live with the disfiguring injuries inflicted by such weaponry.”—Tyler Brule (himself hit by two bullets while covering the Afghanistan war), on the largest mass shooting (for now) in U.S. history, in “The Fast Lane: What It Feels Like to be Hit by a Bullet,” The Financial Times, Oct. 7-8, 2017
