Talk:Wound

Disambiguation needed

The definition for this article is "Damage to either human or animal skin." which is just one of the uses of the term "wound", meaning that either this article needs to reflect all uses of the term or a disambiguation page is needed. David Finn 07:51, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Why doesn't this article reflect the sources provided to support it, and why does this list look exactly like the Wikipedia version? David Finn 08:14, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

David the sources are not misleading. They clearly state the type of wounds and treatment. To be specific the nursing article clearly states wound types while the physician articles statement treatment plan. If I could find my old EMT 1A textbook, published by the AAOS, I could have used that for an authoritative source too. As I aced my EMT 1A class I am well versed in wound types. As to the statement concerning wound types both plants and animals suffer wounds. As to the Wikipedia reference, I did use the article to search for sources but this article was painfully written by me with a wounded finger. The photo used in the article is living proof of my injury. Mary Ash 15:32, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
