I ' ve been on call twice and each time , someone has died . Last night we had 3.5 gunshot victims ( 0.5 because we 're not convinced this one guy actually got shot ) not to mention a bunch of other people . One patient brought back some thoughts / memories of what could have happened to a family member and made me thankful that the person on the table , as horrible as the circumstances were , was some random person rather than someone I loved .

Question: What happened to the speaker before this event ?
Answer: lost a family member to gun violencecaught a diseaselost a family member to diseasegot shot
