SCHENECTADY — The director of the Las Vegas University Medical Center trauma unit, which treated more than 100 victims of a mass shooting in October, is scheduled to give a public lecture at Union College.
Dr. John Fildes, a 1977 Union College graduate, will speak at 12:55 p.m. Wednesday in Nott Memorial. Fildes oversees the trauma unit that treated gunshot victims after a man opened fire at concert-goers on Oct. 1. The shooting, which claimed 58 lives, was one of the country’s deadliest mass shootings.
Fildes will discuss that incident as well as other mass casualty shootings and how surgeons and medical personnel respond.
