Hello,
Does anyone have a patient handbook for new amputees? Something they would
be given postoperatively which details: wound care, stretching, ROM
exercises, starter information on prosthetics, funding assistance, psych.
care, amputee support group contact info, etc.
We are trying to put one together in our hospital but was hoping other pt
care teams have one put together already that we may glean a little
assistance from in terms of what's important to include, what's too much
info., etc.
We really appreciate any help you could lend. I will email our mailing
address if you would like to share a copy with us.
Thanks,
Kristin Schafer, CP(c) & the rest of our amputee care team....
