Record of injuries
When you are admitted to the hospital, the medical team starts to find out your injuries by doing a physical examination and doing medical imaging tests such as x-rays.
- You will be told about your injuries at many different times throughout your hospital stay as they become clear.
- Some injuries may need specialized tests, and several days to figure them out and decide what treatment you need.
You can use the chart in the PDF version of the guide to write down the list of your injuries. On the pictures of the body, you can mark the places where you are injured. If you need help, a member of the health-care team can help fill it in.
