Some docs rip NRA, say #ThisIsOurLane after Chicago Mercy Hospital shooting rampage
The NRA's suggestion that "self-important" physicians who support banning semiautomatic weapons should "stay in their lane" was drawing fire on social media after a doctor was fatally shot in a Chicago hospital late Monday.
"You know who are still at work? The doctors and staff at Mercy Hospital in Chicago, IL, during and after a violent attack, because literally #ThisIsOurLane," tweeted physician Shelley Sahu, a hematologist at the National Institutes of Health.
Tweeted Boston pediatric surgeon Peter Masiakos: "The lane goes right through our hospitals. @ThisIsOurLane"
Emergency room doctor Tamara O'Neal, pharmacy resident Dayna Less and Chicago police officer Samuel Jimenez were fatally shot at Mercy Hospital on the city's South Side by a former fiance of O'Neal, police said. The shooter, identified by family members as Juan Lopez, 32, also died in the carnage.
The shooting came less than two weeks after the NRA took to social media to blast the American College of Physicians and the professional journal Annals of Internal Medicine for publishing a series of articles supporting tighter gun laws.
