Somebody can die from

a stab wound to the arm just as easy as a stab wound to the chest but in terms of the overall injury pattern and knife injuries we're seeing them on every part of the body.

I would agree with some of those comments that you mentioned earlier on.

I work in the UK at the Royal London Hospital as well.

And that's what they're seeing over there, that young males, when they're questioned about it, there is a kind of gone with this pack mentality where they do carry knives.

And it is because they know that these people who, these other gangs that they'll be associating with will also be carrying knives.

The WHO does mark kind of four different pillars when it comes to kind of tackling and delivering interventions.

So with interventions for the person themselves,

for their network, and that means kind of their family, their friends, their associates, the media as well, you know, the responsibility on kind of responsible reporting and such, and then at a societal level as well, and embedded in those societal interventions are violence intervention programs and recidivism prevention programs as well, to try and tackle all those together.

From a clinical point of view, if I can just make a mention to that, there are things that can be done.

And you had spoken about this a little bit before about the education programs.

So something that we learned from London and from Liverpool in particular was the Knife Saver program.

The Knife Saver program was about community intervention, community education programs.

but also training.

So training when it comes to, you know, these societies will get out, they get into a school, they get into a football club, into a stadium, and they would teach people what to do if they did meet a victim of a penetrating crime.

Because ultimately you can bleed to death very quickly from a stab wound.

The international data would tell us that people could bleed to death within five minutes.

But often it takes longer than that for paramedics to get there.

So these programs like Knife Savers in London are teaching the public and teaching, you know, maybe security and high volume centers on what to do if they do encounter a victim, how to stem that belief to keep that person alive until the paramedics get there so that we can take it on then when the person reaches hospital.

Yeah, and we certainly see a whole array of weapons.
