I can’t pretend to give anyone advice, but here are a few things I learned from my husband’s battle with dementia:

The American Medical Association (AMA) has just adopted a resolution opposing the unsafe use of so-called “mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy” in “mild hyperbaric facilities.” You can find more information below and in the link, but let me first illustrate WHY this issue...

It’s 2 am and I am up with a migraine but at least I have figured out why. Ten years ago, I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia due to malabsorption syndrome. I was pretty sick by the time I sought help because the onset of the anemia was insidious (5+ years)...

There will be a lot of whining about how vulnerable patients will get hurt by CMS proposed policy on CTPs – but no discussion about limiting the wasted use that caused CMS to act.

CMS will be convening its open door forum today at 2 pm and address the Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) proposed rule.

I think it’s worth asking, “What will you put on your tombstone?”

He’s been tireless in his mission to raise awareness about lymphedema. In fact, that was his purpose in appearing on The Bachelor.

TWC has compiled all of these fantastic articles and made them available for free.

The question we wanted to answer was whether the lymphatics of patients with early lipedema was the same or different from the lymphatic abnormalities we have identified in patients with lymphedema.

I just want patients to be safe and to ensure that they are told truthfully whether they are getting anything for their money.

Remember, the goal is to find solutions – and not just to complain. The FDA is listening so let’s provide useful, thoughtful input.

Eventually the FDA will generate a document to synthesize what they learned, but in the meantime, everyone has access to this incredible 2 day workshop for free.

Today’s Wound Clinic and the HMP Global Network have created topic centers which are a goldmine of information on relevant topics through the lens of wound management.

I am not sure what the way forward IS, but there’s finally a groundswell of recognition that we have a problem.

Rarely have clinicians, researchers and manufacturers had the opportunity to discuss evidence and coverage issues face-to-face with payers, together with Federal regulators & policymakers – at the same time and around the same table.

Everyone in the field of wound management NEEDS to know about the threats to patient access. There are a LOT of them, and they are always out there.

The Alliance of Wound Care Stakeholders Wound Care Evidence Summit is just under a month away!

You can bet that after what he went through, Job never looked at life the same way again.

The Wound Busters session is back by popular demand at SAWC Spring 2022. Join us to see our panel of wound care experts work through difficult patient cases submitted by attendees.
