DVT management

Lots of customers come into the Hotel with history of DVT.

While I was reading the RehabLand news today, I saw a very interesting article about removing them to resolve issues.

There were no photos, so Dahey could read this article, too. (He has a weak stomach and ears).

Enjoy your day wherever you are!

Picture this...

Patient in bed, turn q2 hours. On Coumadin for DVT prophylaxis and owns a Greenfield IVC filter. Per report, patient bleeding from every orifice--that's right--every stinking one...drip, drip, drip. You turn patient and find a pool there, too, from a wound on back side.

Doc's not worried about it per nurse caring for patient on previous shift. I love my job, but sometimes I really scratch my head on stuff like this.
