Gunshot wounds aren't rare in EMS—they're weekend-normal. But your documentation? That needs to be exceptional. In this episode, we break down how to properly assess, treat, and document GSWs in a way that supports both patient care and potential legal proceedings. We walk through real-world narrative examples, highlight common documentation pitfalls, and discuss how your chart can play a role in everything from trauma care to testimony. Whether you're writing for the trauma team or the courtroom—your words matter.
