The information gathered through this research will provide researchers and clinicians with an enhanced understanding of medical trauma within the context of an ongoing medical condition. This information will also contribute towards developing trauma-responsive guidelines for health care professionals to use when working with people experiencing an ongoing traumatic medical condition.

Other questions may include your experience of how medical staff, your family and other caregivers responded around you, and the impact you believe this traumatic event has on your life currently and moving forward.
