While we concede that sleuthing is not the realm of a surgeon, we believe that there is a clear need for better communication among all concerned with shooting injuries. Along with good medical management we make a plea for more accurate case documentation and better preservation of evidence. Not only will better records greatly aid police investigations, but more understanding of the medical aspects of these wounds will also doubtless ensue. We recommend the use of photography whenever possible, and careful preservation of all physical evidence. Finally, to facilitate documentation in gunshot cases we suggest the routine use of a standardized checklist.
虽然我们承认侦查并非外科医生的职责范围，但我们认为，所有与枪伤相关的人员之间显然需要更好的沟通。除了良好的医疗管理外，我们呼吁更准确地记录病例并更好地保存证据。更好的记录不仅将极大地有助于警方调查，而且无疑也会增进对这些伤口医学方面的了解。我们建议尽可能使用摄影，并仔细保存所有物证。最后，为便于记录枪伤病例，我们建议常规使用标准化清单。
