CASE: The son of a 79 year old man contacted us about obtaining some wound care for his father.
His father had just had Melanoma surgery on his back, and was told by his doctor that he could make the 4 hour drive to visit his son and his new grand daughter for a few days if they could arrange for dressing changes, and post op wound monitoring
Patient-Advocate:
Developed a wound care plan with his physician
Helped arrange for a nurse to do the dressing changes twice a day.
The patient had a great visit with his family, and his surgical wound continued to heal nicely.
