Alyson called back and eagerly said, “Bring him in I can take care of that no problem!”
My dad tore open his very thin skin elbow on vacation. Being on Eliquis led to a very messy cleanup. His bandages were changed 1x and gauze was applied with a bandage pad covering. I was unaware of the gauze and when we went to change it his wound began to mend around the gauze. I placed a message/call to his PCP and Alyson and she called back and eagerly said “Bring him in I can take care of that no problem!” That we did and after a 20-minute soak and gingerly tugging she got it off with minimal bleeding! We were so relieved but mostly grateful for her willingness.
