Another victim from the Pulse Nightclub shooting has been released from the hospital. Orlando Regional Medical Center says 24 victims in total have been sent home, while 11 victims remain there.

  • 11 Pulse attack victims remain at ORMC, 3 in critical condition
  • Occupational therapists are working with the patients
  • Some will need extensive outpatient therapy

Doctors, nurses and occupational therapists remain busy treating them.

“All the patients from the emergency room to the Operating Room or other places in the hospital, they all have progressively improved,” said ORMC Trauma Medical Director Dr. Joseph Ibrahim.

Doctors say three patients are still in critical condition.

Some of the worst wounds they’re treating include damage to the abdomen, legs and arms.

It’s up to the occupational therapists to get the patients moving.

“A lot of what we do is motivating them to get up and really encouraging them,” said Occupational Therapist Greta Rucks.

They say victims not only have to deal with physical scars, but also emotional wounds.

"We as rehab therapists have an important role in helping the patient to kind of go back to their roots and remember who they are,” said Doctor of Physical Therapy Rachel Gonzalez. “You know everybody is here with all these injuries and it’s easy to get caught up in all the tubes and lines, but we spend a lot of time with the patients, so we get to know who they are and what they like to do and we try and get them back to doing those things so they can feel more like themselves again.”

The occupational therapists say extensive outpatient therapy will be required for many and that could last for a year or more.
