Subject: decubitus ulcer
My dear ESL speaker s/l he is saying "Patient was hospitalized with a DIE-CUBA-TUS ulcer and she is now on VIE-KIN therapy."
Anything similar to a decubitus ulcer? And what kind of therapy?
Have been searching and searching to no avail.
Thanks to anyone who can help. Wish I had a prize to offer.
