This

This article refers to the meaning of "trauma" used by medical providers: if the patient is "a trauma", it means they've suffered a serious trauma. But literally, physical trauma can refer to any injury, even the trauma caused by a needle stick. I think the article should be changed to reflect that, with the current text being a subsection. Any other thoughts? delldot | talk 05:25, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I say we move it to Trauma (medicine) Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:14, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Top importance

As one of the leading causes of preventable death should be of top importance.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:06, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

Should the first photo be changed, the description of it on this page says the patient is unconscious, but they look conscious. Also the description of the photo by the author states the woman collapsed... not really trauma.. just an idea, Tannim101 (talk) 22:17, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agree Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:48, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Causes" Table

The table shows US data, the graph shows Denmark data - What should we do about this? Can someone make a US graph? Peter.C • talk 15:22, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes google documents is good at doing this. Just put it in a spread sheet and it will generate nice graphs. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:16, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where could I find a list of traumatic injuries in comparison to age? Peter.C • talk 23:06, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Trauma (medicine) → Physical trauma — The article is chiefly about physical trauma, not any other (e.g., psychological, etc.) —Mike moral ♪♫ 22:50, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Makes more sense for it to be named that Peter.C • talk 23:20, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support Conveys the topic and disambiguates correctly. Current title does not distinguish "physical" trauma part well enough. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 23:34, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support because the article is about physical trauma specifically. 69.3.72.9 (talk) 01:25, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
