Melissa has taken care of my foot and belly wounds following several surgeries and changing bandages as a result of a small intestinal fistula. Not only does she meet my needs Monday-Friday, but she goes above and beyond to help me.
A collection system to take care of my wound currently doesn't exist. She is developing a system for me that doesn't leach and doesn't irritate the surrounding skin and is using different medical/scientific materials. She thinks "outside a structured box". She is thinking and designing like an inventor. Thank you for all you do!
