On the floor in need of magical healing = Serious Wound
On the floor in need of the morgue attendants = Deadly Wound

Yes, I *know* the spiel about magic loss and Deadly wounds, but you don't
have to take deadly wounds unless you're playing a REALLY high lethality
campaign or your GM's got it in for you. I haven't yet ever had any of my
characters take a deadly wound.
