Surgeon Cleo Kenington has reported a drastic increase in knife violence among young men in London, evidenced by the 511 stab victims treated at St George's Hospital in a single year, nearly double from the previous year. She described the harrowing experience of operating on young patients with severe injuries from stabbings. Many survive with prompt medical attention, yet tragically, numerous individuals succumb to their injuries before reaching the hospital. Additionally, the hospital has initiated a knife amnesty program, successfully collecting disturbing weapons to help address the crisis.
I've had to physically remove knives from patients on the operating table to stop them bleeding to death. These patients are young, vulnerable and scared.
Once they arrive at St George's we provide them with the best possible care and most survive, but tragically many patients die before they can reach hospital.
