I've been monitoring ER reports that come across my desk for the last couple of weeks since the Polar Bear issue was raised. I was looking out for animal attacks. Interestingly, one of the ER hospitals in California had a flow chart check box for animal bites, etc. It started out with "provoked" and "unprovoked." Once the emergency room physicians checks off "provoked", the next option asks whether the patient entered, or did not enter, the animal's domain. Thought that was interesting, especially as the provoked section did not include the domain option.
