I walked into our GoHeal Wound & Burn Care Center this morning, as I do everyday & immediately met with all our wound patients who had arrived to show themselves to our wound specialists at the center.
While I met with all and looked at every wound along with our doctors, a pattern hit my mind.
Wounds appeared similar. The odour from the wound was also quite similar, along with the edema oozing. We observed this pattern since the beginning of July 2019 and realised that history was repeating itself from what we saw last July 2018.
We then figured out that all wounds that the diabetics were coming in with, were due to the rising humidity levels in the air as well as rain water. So, folks please remember that PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN FINDING A CURE. Ensure your feet are always well protected from wetness & from rain water. It is impossible to be a 100% safe for this, so I recommend each of us to dry our feet as soon as we can. Dry them well (after a thorough wash with clean water and a soap - any bathing soap should help if you don’t have an ongoing bacterial infection)
Husbands, please inspect your wives feet at the end of the day. Wives, do so with your husbands feet. Sons and daughters, Please ensure you don’t go to bed without inspecting your dad/ mom/ grandpa/ grandma’s feet at the end of each day. At the least observed cut, or skin color changes, take action to prevent aggravation.
This way, I am positive that we will see lesser wounded patients coming in to get treated with us, because you have taken better care of yourselves and your loved ones.
