We went over the the surgical clinic to contribute to a VAC application on a patient with a large wound as a result of an abcess. The abcess had been drained but the wound was large, infected and was showing few signs of healing.When we arrived we were told that we would have to go to the Operating Room because the procedure would be done there due to the patient experiencing pain and the need for surgical debridement. We quickly got ready for the OR and joined the two surgeons.

A HVO volunteer collegue Raymond who is a nurse anaethetist was also in the OR theater for the case teaching anaesthesia administration Mary provided the surgeons with her strong expertise on the aplication of VAC Dressings. The wound was very deep and it required layering of the sponge. Mary guided the surgeon in the proper technnique in layering the sponge.
We provided an eductional presentation to about 8 nurses and nurse educators on the basics of wound care, including the anatomy of the skin, phases and principles of wound healing. We covered the technique of wound swabbing and the lights went on. We will continue this later.
You guy's look "armed and dangerous"!!!

We tried all sorts of pills but all efforts to get rid of the virus was futile. The blisters kept on reappearing after some months. My daughter was making use of Acyclovir tablets 200mg. 2 tablets every 6hours and fusitin cream 15grams. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied 2x a day but all still show no result.
