Have you ever had to pack a wound?
I just got a call from my HMO, suggesting that I remove the packing from my arm tomorrow, and repack it with a clean tape.
The problem is that it is on my elbow, so I can’t do it myself. My wife will have to do it, and she is quite squeamish.
Have you ever had to pack or repack a wound? What was the gross factor? Any advice on this?
