Mayo Clinic trauma surgeon Don Jenkins, M.D., says trauma and emergency medical personnel train extensively and participate in specific drills designed to prepare them for such mass casualty events. He also says those facing post-traumatic stress disorder, including first responders and caregivers, need to seek help.
