Re: fibular fracture update

[Guest guest]

Ann/All,

when youprinted the responses, did you delete all identifiers? So the parents didn't know the name of the doctors giving the advice, right? You may already realize this, but thought I'd mention it so we can have a concensus if it's not already in place. I don't mean to insult if I'm stating something too obvious. Just want to be clear.

All the advice we give is specifically and only to our colleagues. We are giving it free of any consulting charge. Technically, if this advice produces a negative outcome on a patient we have never examined, our input could be complained against. So I wonder if we are all in agreement on the listserv that we DO NOT print this advice for patients unless we delete ALL identifiers. The advice comes from the doctor who asked and is a compilation of information they have gathered. The opinion is presented to the patient by the treating doctor as their advice.

Thanks for clarification. If I'm off on this and the listserv allows us to re-print answers to our patients, please let me know.

Friday I put the microcurrent tens unit on my football player surrounding the fracture site. Within two minutes the rea was pink. He thought it was from his sock, but when he took off the other sock it was a normal pale color. Of course, he felt nothing. He agreed to rest the leg the next 10 days, no squats or weight bearing activities, wear the cast/boot when up andx-ray in 10 days. I also recommended they call the orthopedist I recommended for another opinion and to cover their butts. I'll update after the x-rays. Thanks for all your input. I printed each response and gave them to the patient and his grandmother. They were impressed at the quality and care of the answers.
