DIALOG/PROGRESS NOTE TEXT
Completion of the Iraq & Afghan Post-Deployment Screen indicates that 
\\
this patient has or may have a retained fragment/shrapnel as a result 
of traumatic wounds received while serving in the area of conflict.  
This is of concern because of the risk of wound contamination and/or 
prolonged systemic exposure to potentially toxic metals or chemicals 
released from plastics and composite materials found in Improvised 
Explosive Devices (the signature wound in Iraq and increasingly in 
Afghanistan).  The following questions will further define the risk to 
this patient and help to determine if further follow-up is recommended.
