I've yet to be peeled from the ceiling during dressing changes, if that's what you were wondering![]()
Reminds me of a patient Mrs 73 had the other day. The screen said dressing change, the kid was 5. Odd thought Mrs 73, turned out he’d cut his head over 2 weeks ago. The problem was he’d not let his mum take it off.
She was worried as it was so long after. So Mrs 73 started talking to him, what’s father Christmas bringing you? A big truck he said, oh ok you like trucks, yes and cars.
Mrs 73 then try’s to get the plaster off. He’s not having it, says me do it , ok you do it. He try’s buts not getting any where. Mrs 73 try’s again , dont need help me do it.
Mrs 73 changes tack gets him talking about trucks and cars. Then thought right , she made a brake for it. Grabs the plaster and off in one. The lad just burst out laughing, his mum was relived it was finally off and they went off to get him a truck she’d promised he could have if he got the plaster off.
