I Really Enjoy Doing This-Why? I get to talk about myself for one hour And you have to listen! I get to complain about my aches and pains

and you have to listen (I think!) I get discover how much you really know

about my disease/injury I get to make some new friends

How My Injury Effected Me Physically

BEFORE AFTER

Things to Think About *What is my disease/injury? *How did it happen? What were the symptoms?

(pain, loss of feeling, etc) Would therapy be needed? What kind?

OT, PT, Acupuncture, Massage, Chiropractic, E-stem, etc.?

What would you do first if you had a patient come in at PRMC Shock Trauma and had my symptoms?

Does this type disease/injury hurt any other organs? Do you think I am taking any medications? If so, what kind and how much? Do you think there are any side effects?

Other Thoughts/Questions Do you think I required in-patient

treatment? If so, how long? Was there any paralysis? Out-patient treatment? How long? Any surgeries? If so what kind, where and for what? Any major life-threatening circumstances? Are there any problems now?
