German term or phrase: Die Vorstellung erfolgte notfallmässig
Die Vorstellung von Frau S. erfolgte notfallmässig über unsere unfallchirurgische Notaufnahme aufgrund einer körperlichen
Auseinandersetzung.

Local time: 16:29
Mrs. S. came in as an emergency case
Explanation:
The question could have included Frau S. and thereby avoid translation of the weak verb of 'erfolgen', unless awkwardly translated as 'ensued'.

The translation of Notaufnahme isn't asked for, so no need to truncate the translation of the first part of the question and leave out anything.

Vorstellung : Langenscheidt DEU/ENG Enz. WB Entry no. 17 heute stellt sich bei unserer Firma ein neuer Kandidat vor:-> a new applicant is coming in for an interview with our firm today.

NB there is neither any need for a introduction, nor a *presentation*, nor mention whether she had been brought or wheeled in or turned up of her own volition after the 'physical altercation'.

agree  philgoddard: You could leave out 'on an emergency basis', because it then says 'Notaufnahme'.

agree  Lancashireman: Gets my vote as the only version not to use the cliquey, pretentious intransitive form of 'present'.

  -> Thanks, Andrew. If anything, the patient 'presented herself' - transitively -so turned up to the ward, but did not exactly make a guest appearance.
disagree  Jeremy Amos: Your assertions regarding presented are simply incorrect. Presented is completely standard medical English, which is why the respondants who had a clue used it, there's nothing contrived about it.

Ms. S presented to our Trauma Center/Department due to....


Explanation:
Depending on your context, you can use Trauma Center/Department or Emergency Room. Technically speaking, the German terms would imply a trauma department rather than a simple Notaufnahme/ER.

Trauma centres are where more major trauma (e.g. polytrauma) is addressed whereas the ER deals mainly with more minor injuries and medical diseases ( = issues pertaining to internal medicine)
