A trauma surgeon who helped treat victims of the Uvalde mass shooting has now helped start a campaign to turn bystanders into first responders.
It's been a year since a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
Scripps News' cameras captured the moment emergency teams at University Hospital in San Antonio prepared the room for a patient who had been shot.A year ago, the situation in the emergency room was far more critical. That's when Stewart said he faced one of the worst days of his life as a medical professional.
Stewart said he still thinks about May 24 every day. He said it's still not so much about moving forward; it's more so just adapting."I do get emotional about talking about the children who were injured and the children who witnessed every single thing that happened in that classroom," Stewart said."I'm not certain I've slept totally well since Uvalde. It's been a year.
Stewart, along with other medical professionals, started the "Stop the Bleed" campaign to teach vital skills that can save lives, like how to pack wounds or apply a tourniquet.
