Case of the week: DM Foot v2.0

In tradition of my case of the week posts. I am posting another wound on a foot. This time its not just any ordinary non-healing wound from an injury but of a diabetic patient.

The photo on the left was taken last Jan. 11, 2012 and on the right was taken Jan. 27, 2012.

Patient is now compliant with oral meds (metformin and others) and was placed on iv antibiotics for 1 week. Also, daily wound care is done to promote healing and tissue repair. Photo now shows positive signs for improvement.

Email/online scammer for Nurses is still out there!

On the new year’s day of 2012 I received an email notification from my old multiply account that someone put a comment on an old blog I posted last 2008. It was about the online scammer that almost victimed me. This scammer contacted me thru email that I believe he got from an online job-searching site.

I sent an email to abs-cbn and I was told that they did focus on this heinous online crime. In fact they had an episode on their XXX program about this. What’s bothering is after almost 4 years this person is still out there doing the very same scheme.

For my dear colleagues, young nurses, I know it’s really a struggle to find a job but please never let yourself or a friend be a victim of this scam! Let’s be informed and proactive.
