Subject: Here is the paragraph for the s/l line infection evaluation..

Patient here today for a post-op s/l line infection evaluation.  She has been doing daily wet to dry dressing changes and today the wound breadown area is less than a cm across and with probing with a Q-tip will not extend any greater than 2 cm in the area.  I do not think that this continues to require any packing.  I have recommended that she just keep gauze over the area for the drainage.  thank you
