[QUAD-L] Wound care conference
OK, here is one for the books. I just spoke on a panel to about 200 nurses concerning wound care. Of course a lot of the legal medical stuff flew over the cuckoos nest. I live in Lancaster County Pa, where it is 9 degrees right now and there is a large Amish population. One VNA said she had a 1st last week. She entered the home, nice clean and neat and started treatment. She took off the bandage while the family stood by with smiles on their face. As she took off the dressing red stuff started to ooze from the area. She thought oh my gosh! The family wasn't alarmed, they calmly said that ground up red beets have healing powers. Truth Red beet eggs anyone? Glenn Henry
Re: [QUAD-L] Wound care conference
Wound Care, has migrated and morp'd from hospitals and doctor's offices into a clinical and specialized industry. And doctor's are ok with that because it is so special and no one wants to mess with ulcers and opened wounds. And for those wound care clinic it has become quite profitable. Not sure if beets have healing powers, like seaweed. Who did the debreeding before the chopped beets were added? Best Wishes In a message dated 1/28/2014 1:42:51 P.M.

I asked about the Wound Vac for my butt sore. My doc said he has not had alot of success with the Vac on butt wounds. Greg you should be able to go out patient and get the wound vacuum and have a visiting nurse take care of it. I got mine while
Re: [QUAD-L] Days in bed 2013
Rare is it that Medical Doctors touch or maintain Wound Vacs. Doctors observe and de-breed the wound. They measure and look for healing. Wound Vac (the company) trained RN's on how the machine works, operates and how the unit is installed on the patient. The company teaches how to trouble shoot and resolve issues when they happen. So if a doctor says he has not had a lot of success, there must be a reason why. I've seen some excellent nursed that were dedicated to the artform, and some who were not and considered their job, a task. Your doctor knows you and your body much better than I so I would do what your doctor insist. Best Wishes In a message dated 1/28/2014 5:16:13 P.M.

I would go to the wound center and get a second opinion. I was being followed by a plastic surgeon, when I had a wound vacuum and a nursing agency. He had taken off and look at it every several weeks. He had to determine how long I used, until I was ready for plastic surgery a skin graft. Mine was my heel two years ago after an external fixater was not checked after surgery for foot drop and became gangrene. It wasn't very long ordeal 1 month in the hospital after surgery and 2 months on the wound VAC before the plastic surgery. Dana C 4-5 complete, 39 years In a message dated 1/28/2014 5:48:16 P.M.
