| Summary |
The mission of this work, in addition to aiding diagnosis, is to stress that every wound is on a patient, and it is the patient who is being treated first and foremost. Yes, the wound requires attention directly, but concurrently, patient concerns, conditions, and circumstances must be specifically addressed as well. These include co-morbidities, nutrition, complete system review, functional status, and personal habits, as well as social, psychological, and economic factors. An inter-disciplinary approach to treating patients with wounds is often required for the best outcomes; thus the information included in this book is intended to be applicable and useful for all of the medical professions |
