Is the definition actually used in the medical profession? A catastrophic injury is a catastrophic injury. It is not a "severe injury". Nor is it necessarily to the "spine, spinal cord, or brain". A disemboweling, for instance, is certainly catastrophic and likely fatal, but not an injury to the "spine, spinal cord, or brain". Royalcourtier (talk) 01:34, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
