Sister Kate (2011)
“Our patients on Saturday nights were mostly inebriated, or suffering injuries from domestic fights and road traffic accidents. There were also the usual medical and surgical emergencies. Shootings in Belfast just never happened.
I was in charge in casualty that Saturday night. It had been quiet and in the early hours of Sunday morning we were sitting, relaxed and chatting. The telephone rang. It was ambulance control to say there had been a shooting in Malvern Street, and two ambulances had... been sent out. I was astounded to hear this news, and when I informed the surgical registrar, Alan Gurd, he also was very taken aback. He told me to keep him informed.
Ambulance control phoned again to say that one young man was dead, but they were bringing in two wounded youths. Neither was critically injured, although both required immediate surgery. Dr Gurd called in Mr Ernest Morrison, his consultant, and they were busy in theatre for many hours. Both young men survived, although one had been struck by six bullets.MoreLess
