But it’s much better to take steps to
prevent the bedsores from occurring in
the first place, or to at least catch them
early. Prevention is better than treatment:
We’ve heard that before. But it’s particularly
true in this case. Studies differ on
the success rate of bedsore treatment,
but some show it to be abysmal. Even if
the bedsore heals, there’s a good chance
it will come back: Recurrence rates are
very high. And this is to say nothing of
the pain and infection risk.
