Re: Please add your casting doc to the database

[Guest guest]

Thanks! I just added Dr. Kishan. Can you add more variables? Like

for example, a list of parents who have had their children casted by

that doctor so that new parents can use them as reference/feedback?

Also, what about our CONTACTS database? There are only 2 in there. I

had started my own spreadsheet, but it would be nice to have it on

here. Can we add more variables to that one? Like, child's name, age

at dx, current age, original angle numbers, details about casts and

corrections, recent status.

Another database for Casting problems/possible solutions might be

cool. Like, 1) Issue=rash; solution idea 1=Aquaphor; solution idea

2; solution idea 3; solution idea 4; Comments=Never get ointments

under cast. 2) Issue: sweating; solution idea 1 = 100% cotton mattress

pad; solution idea #2; 100% cotton PJs with arms/legs, cool

environment. 3) Issue=Diapering; solution idea=Make sure to tuck UNDER

cast; solution idea 2=2 diapers, one normal size, the other 2 sizes up

(e.g. 3 and 5); 4) Issue=taping...use waterproof tape (examples: Hy

tape website:_______);

That way, when maybe we can start recording ideas in a more

standardized format. Maybe it's too confusing, but it's just an idea.

I generally like to database everything (since I'm a clinical data

manager).
