    Re: Scarcity of specialists creating local crisis

    One really tragic example of how the acute shortage of specialists is affecting local residents. My heart goes out to this particular Mom.

    Another example is the young guy from Kula who was shot by a roommate on Maui last week...he had to be medevac'ed to Kauai because only specialist who could treat gunshots was on Kauai.
    Those “first couple of shots should have killed me,” said the 43-year-old Randall in a telephone interview Tuesday from his hospital bed at Wilcox Memorial Hospital on Kauai. (He said he was flown to the Garden Isle because the only available medical specialist for his gunshot wounds was there.) “Something was coming out of the gun, there were sparks.”
