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?
