Abstract

Recovery following trauma depends on many factors and is not related to only the physical severity of injury. Different people respond differently to the stress of injury and, therefore, recover differently. Support networks are important. Expectation and hope, which can be greatly influenced by responsible health care professionals, can hugely influence recovery.
