Loading ...I’m waiting for a delivery of 32 oz of it but kinda blew my mind about her having to take 16 oz a day. I’m going to have to get more faster than I thought.
Working different field through the years when I got appointed by a group of wound consultants from different hospitals and a wound nurse begging me to join them because they saw me healing people. It was a bit overwhelming at first and classes and seminars and a lot more physical work. I already noticed some doctors under medicated with antibiotics that were useless like low dose Keflex per protocol what they start with patients and no follow up less the nurse uses common sense and calls them up. A stitch in time saves nine. Guessing is not a stitch in time and leads to errors or in this case further damage.. I can see a possible protocol per type of wound and common bacteria associated but this protocol is across the board where common sense is ignored. If their not sure do a culture. It’s not saving money by protocol which is blind if the person gets worse.
On the other end over kill and more serious wounds where the again don’t do cultures and go straight to Vancomycin which with the increased number of antibiotic resistant bugs and some protocols were part of the cause by undertreating or dosing was considered a last line antibiotic. It was over used. Then one day I got a patient with a non healing wound and did a culture because it was obviously infected and why it wasn’t healing. Topical silver at this point doesn’t help. Topical silver appeared to help prevent infections but antibiotics had to take out the infections. Well surprise surprise I got the results back and guess what. She had Vancomycin resistant staff infection. Luckily there was a few antibiotics they tested that the bug was sensitive to so it cleaned up she healed up went home.
Flesh eating is a bad one but yet it looked like they were trying this and that and not zeroing in on what would work they were guessing or under treating it . That bug can spread fast and cause sepsis. It’s good that the silver helped her. I don’t understand why they just gave her pills in the first place and didn’t go to straight IVs. They did that to my daughter too and told them she needs to see a infectious disease doctor. Well then tshtf all sorts of problems.
I don’t blame the initial surgeons but the hospital for not having enough of them and working them from morning to night that save a lot of lives. The deep tissue damage from impact was already going to happen but the infection perhaps could of been prevented if they could of treated her faster.
