I think you misread the article - its about training medics how to deal with casualties whilst they are under fire and is probably as close as you can get short of having them on a real battlefield. The "battlefield trauma" relates to injuries on the battlefield, not whether medics are traumatized in dealing with the situation, although improving the ability of them to handle the situation they are in will reduce the likelihood of this happening.

Battlefield medics have to make hard decisions, including deciding not to treat casualties who are unlikely to survive if they are under severe pressure.

BTW, you're not anti gun, you're just against anyone but the government having guns. I'll bet you're all for Police, Military and agencies like the BLM having assault rifles and tanks....

No even in these cases we believe that gun use should be controlled and limited. Your average UK policeman does not carry a gun, although I accept he/she can call on backup which does. The military is only allowed to play with guns when the Prime Minister says so...
