Best Answer

Gunshot wound to the head.

On a medical chart this would be documented as...

pt c/o GSW to head (patient complains of gunshot wound to the head).

There would be other terminology to describe it. Where it entered or exited and what other trauma is present...but yeah...just...gunshot wound to the head.
