In your career there will be patients who have suffered, and are
suffering, from incredible physical and emotional conditions. In
this reaction paper, select one of the assigned weekly readings,
and explore how you as a healthcare professional would ‘react’ to
a patient who has experienced major trauma. Consider these
questions:
