Every inch of sheet I pulled back – her feet, heels, hips – more decubiti ( bedsores to the lay person), pressure ulcers to the wound care specialist standing at my left side.
“Help me turn her on her side so I can look at her sacrum.”
“Of course,” I murmured.
Down to muscle; paper thin skin spread apart from the constant pressure revealed striated cords of pinky sized tendons with yellow pus oozing out.
Caretakers failing to help her up into a chair at least twice a day, failing to encourage nutritional intake to promote healthy tissue, failing to see so much going wrong.
One more reason I’m starting to hate people.
Not my patients.
Just people.
Don't Curse the Nurse! 
I can understand stand this from both sides. This is so wrong and yet it happens so much. Thank you for caring 💜
This is so hard. I’m sorry. 💛
