Talk:Wound

message: I've never found anything to back up this definition, and there's no cite listed. I've seen far more places, such as health-a-to-z, medterms, and, you know, the dictionary, refer to lacerations as cuts, not something caused by a blunt object.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.217.126.23 (talk) 08:23, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Lacerations

message: I removed the following from this section:
Make sure you wash your hands, continously, to prevent contamination of the wound. Always use diposible gloves if available(found in stores everywhere).
Make sure you know what you're doing before you touch the wound in any way.
After you're finished cleaning the wound, cover it to prevent infection.
... since it doesn't make much sense, and the content is already mentioned in the article.
If someone wants to rephrase it and put it back please do - I'm not really sure what this section is meant to say but I'm fairly sure the above doesn't add anything to the article. Tjwood 13:08, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Wound healing

message: the contents of the wound healing section were clearly cut and pasted from this page so I cut them out.  There is already a wound healing phases page so I left a blurb and linked to that instead.  I'll expand the phases page soon. 
Also, I'm a little concerned about the medical advice this article gives.  It seems like some of the wording is vague and could be misinterpreted, causing harm.  like when it says, 'remove the cause of the injury', do you think that could be interpreted as 'pull the thing out of the wound'?  I think it should be made clearer that you should never remove an impaled object.  And when it talks about touching a wound, isn't there a concern about body fluids and disease transmission?  It seems like this is a really cursory treatment of wound care anyway, and that could lead to harm to the patient. maybe we should link to a more complete first aid guide.  Also, you know there's already a first aid page.  --Delldot 18:35, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Copyvio and redundancy

message: The first line of the article says, "A wound is type of a physical trauma wherein the skin is torn, cut or punctured."  But as I understand it, closed fractures, sprains, bruises and the like are also technically wounds; the skin does not have to be opened.  Can anyone confirm or gainsay?

thread_title: Technically...

message: I marked this article as requiring cleanup as the first aid section doesn't seem very encyclopedic, and needs stylistic improvements anyway. -- Hex 16:29, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. It needs to be more systematic e.g. according to depth/severity. I am not aware of grading scales for wounds, but they may exist. JFW | T@lk 17:32, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Police

message: This article gives first aid direction and reads like a how to manual, which Wikipedia is not.  There are also WP:MOS concerns about addressing the reader.  I suggest a major edit to the page to remove this material.  I'm going to tag the problematic section.  delldot | talk 06:44, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Interesting link about new method for infection screening 

message: Should there be a section with the likelihood of a wound being lethal or not based on statistics, as in, a leg gunshot versus an arm gunshot, which is more likely to be lethal? Juicex2 06:00, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I do not see anywhere where citations would be required. It would be helpful if somebody would point out places where citations are needed. --ItsJodo (talk) 20:26, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, most of the article is very basic.  I've marked the few places I thought they were needed.  delldot talk 21:32, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I see 2 retracted citations in this article that could use with replacing. I believe ref#15 could be replaced with https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31958526/. I'm a new editor, but I'm going to try to make this change. Mnunemaker (talk) 18:30, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

message: The article doesn't make clear the difference between puncture and penetration wounds.  Can someone clear it up?  delldot talk 21:32, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Periwound]] 

message: If paper cut redirects here, shouldn't the page have some mention of paper cuts? (Not counting the notice at the top linking to the disambiguation page, of course.) I'm actually surprised it doesn't have its own article; maybe it should. flarn2006 [u t c] time: 19:21, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Paper cut 

message: Under this heading it said:" In humans and mice it has been shown that estrogen might affect the speed and quality of wound healing.[21]" with no indication of whether the affect was positive or negative. Checking the reference [21], I see that it is a positive affect and added that word in the sentence.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:B702:2800:E5E7:4E39:6E01:1D0C (talk) 21:34, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
