Subject: hospitals are LOADED with all kinds of illnesses--sm
that is why they are there, but it is not just diabetics and not ALL of them have hypertension. Just because you are a QA, or think you are, does not make you 100 percent right on everything. You have made some very misleading statements on this site, just today alone. You really need to step off the arrogant attitude for a while and do some more research on A LOT of subjects before you start *generalizing* every certain disease by saying they ALL have high blood pressure and they are ALL in the hospital. You also need to learn to admit when you are wrong and become a little more humble in your dealings with others. you might actually learn something.

Subject: I thought it would be some type of cement, but he's is saying "Prodance" pretty clear, I just
can't document that anywhere. It seems to be a packing of some sort as the doc stated "we packed the wound and sutured the soft tissues over this impregnated with the antibiotics"... with whatever this "Prodance" thing is. I did try researching all types of antibiotic-impregnated cements, but no luck there either.
