RE: Interesting article on SSIs

[Guest guest]

This is a great article! Thankfully my infection is pretty much gone now

already. As stated in this article mine was superficial as the doctor put it.

What my doc mentioned was a common cause is a reaction to the stitches, which in

my case is most likely the case. I don't smoke or have any of the other

conditions listed from this site. I think this information covers most any

surgery. I have a friend who had implants put in after a mastectomy and she got

an infection. It was so involved she had to have the implants removed and redone

and it happened again! Now after over a year she is going to a specialist for

this and will make yet another attempt to have it done without infection. The

trick is to catch the infection as soon as possible.

You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.

Subject: Interesting article on SSIs

Saw this on google alert -

It's about factors that are linked to an increased risk of a post-op surgical

site infection and how they can be dealt with.
