NonComposMentis

Sorry about the mess up and my double, even triple posting......I'm just trying to get this figured out....:-)

i have had the pleasure and the pain of being a nurse for 20 years. one of the grossest theings i have seen was a teenager who came into er, in the middle of the summer, wearing a cast to his lower leg and complaining of itching and burning to the lateral aspect of his foot. we removed the cast and he had received an abrasion at the time of the broken foot. the wound was full of maggots. i composed myself a bit and cleaned the larvae from the wound. what i found underneath was the cleanest, healthiest wound i had seen in a while. i currently work in an ecu where we have our fair share of pressure ulcers, stasis ulcers, diabetic ulcers, etc. i personally would like to see modern medicine return to some of the tried and true methods of wound debridement.
