I happened upon it as ...Jordan, I enjoy your blog. I happened upon it as a link from a link from a link, somehow starting with Kevin MD's site, and have been visiting intermittently ever since :) Something about this entry pressed my wtf-button, though. I mean, how does a 4 day hospital stay give a patient a decub they wouldn't otherwise have? Unless they were (A) totally up ad lib before hospitalization and (B) strictly bedfast for those 4 days... or (C) bedfast at baseline but the lucky recipient of *amazing* preventative skin care in their previous location while (D) totally ignored by inpatient RNs and left supine for 96 consecutive hours, I'm puzzled.<br /><br />That said, the situation you describe still sucks and represents an enormous waste of health care resources.serratiasuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11827144556604136804noreply@blogger.com
