			If you take 50 wound points or more in damage from a single attack and survive, you’re
			a stud and should feel good about yourself. However, you also survived damage that
			would kill many people, and you never fully recover. A hit that bad marks you for life,
			and there’s no way to avoid it.

			The nature of the loss is up to your GM, though your group may make suggestions).
			It could be a straight, permanent loss of wound points—between 5 and 10 is a good
			number. You could lose points in a relevant skill, or even a stat—Body and Speed are
			obvious choices, but Mind is also appropriate for cranial traumas.

			To heal damage missed by first aid or emergency medical care, you must either stay in a
			hospital or at home with regular attention from a doctor or nurse. You heal 2 wound
			points per day that you rest. If you go out and run around, the GM can rule that you
			heal nothing for that day.

			Once you’re at 60% of your normal wound point total, you are well enough to get
			out and about again. You may not be fully healed, but you can get back to work. If you
			leave convalescence at that point, you can still heal 1 point per day. Remaining in bed
			continues healing you at 2 points per day. If you push yourself too hard, the GM may
			give you nothing back for that day.

			You can also spend experience points to heal. Each point you spend restores a point
			of damage. You cannot spend more than three experience points on this per day.
			As usual, you won’t know precisely how many wound points you have. The GM
			will describe how you feel, such as “achy,” tired,” or “like you’re going to puke.”
			“Unable to focus your eyes” and “seeping” are signs that you should slow down a bit.

You begin the game with a number of wound points equal to your Body stat. When you get hurt, you lose wound points.

The GM is in charge of tracking your wound points. You are not allowed to know how many wound points you have at any point in time. When you get hurt, the GM tells you what happens: what it feels like, whether you have to move slowly, and so forth.

The GM makes a note of how much you lost from each separate injury. That's because healing is on an injury-by-injury basis.
==Wound Penalties==
When you've lost somewhere between a quarter and a third of your wound points, the GM tells you that you now have a -10% shift to all your stats for stat check purposes. Exactly when this penalty kicks in is up to the GM.

If you get hurt so badly that your wound points are down to somewhere between a third and a quarter of your total, the GM tells you that you're now at -20% to your stats.

The first penalty is a warning that you need to get off the streets. The second penalty is a warning that you're about to die. But if you're getting so trashed that your stats are at -20%, you're probably dead meat anyway.

These penalties only apply when you're rolling against your stats. They don't affect your skills.

==Healing a Minor Injury==
Basic first aid is sufficient for an injury up to about 10% of your [[Unknown Armies:Body|Body]] stat. To perform first aid, you need the right supplies—bandages, makeshift splints, whatever the GM deems sufficient—and you must make the attempt within an hour after the injury occurred. Make an appropriate significant [[Unknown Armies:Skill check|skill check]], or a major check if you're under fire.

A successful first-aid attempt heals a number of wound points equal to the dice rolled, added together. A roll of 56 would heal 5 + 6 = 11 wound points. A roll of 10 heals 1 + 10 = 11 wound points. If the result is higher than the number of wound points inflicted by that particular injury, the extra points are ignored.

You may attempt first aid only once for each minor injury. If you fail any of those checks, the victim may get another set of attempts from a professional medical facility, or from convalescence.

No matter how well you roll to patch it up, one wound point of damage always remains to be healed by convalescence. No mortal science can heal an injury perfectly and instantly.
