[edit] 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)
