Violent crime in Scotland costs the health service more than £500million a year, and hospital staff say they are dealing with "a scourge" of bloodshed on the streets.
Michael Sheridan, an accident and emergency consultant at Glasgow's Southern General Hospital:
"People who carry out such attacks have no idea of the consequences of their actions. This weekend, I worked two 9am to 9pm shifts during which I dealt with a person struck on the head with a machete, another who suffered knife wounds requiring surgery and a third who was knifed in the chest."
