What's medical trauma?

Severe trauma and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are recognised mental health issues yet medical trauma is a largely unacknowledged phenomenon which can be just as debilitating. Medical trauma focuses on anxiety and trauma which occurs from direct contact with the medical setting. Examples may be experiencing a chronic life changing illness, a life threatening diagnosis, or a routine operation that has impacted in a negative way, all leaving a fear of the hospital environment.
