Hospital treatment
Look carefully at the key words in these texts.
John fell off a chair, hit his head on the floor, and knocked himself
unconscious. His wife called an ambulance but John was still unconscious when
it arrived. He was rushed to hospital (= taken very quickly) where they kept him
for two days for blood tests.
I jumped for the ball and collided with another player (= we ran into / hit each
other). We both had cuts on our head, but I had to go to hospital for eight stitches.
Wounds and injuries
Wound (n, v) and injury are both used to describe damage to the body, but a
wound is generally caused by a weapon (e.g. gun or knife) and it is usually
intentional.
