Susan Dyke recuperou bem de um acidente de via\u00e7\u00e3o frontal em 2020 que a deixou com o esterno partido, um tornozelo estilha\u00e7ado e pelo menos 10 costelas partidas. Hastes e parafusos de metal estabilizaram-lhe o tornozelo, as incis\u00f5es foram suturadas e ela come\u00e7ou a recuperar das les\u00f5es dolorosas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Curei-me bem e continuei a minha vida\", disse Susan, 74 anos, que se reformou em 2015 ap\u00f3s tr\u00eas d\u00e9cadas como enfermeira respons\u00e1vel no segundo andar do Hospital Tobey<\/a> em Wareham, a sua cidade natal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mas n\u00e3o tinha recuperado totalmente e o que aconteceu a seguir causou-lhe dores durante v\u00e1rios anos - at\u00e9 encontrar ajuda com Tobey Makepeace Tratamento de feridas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H\u00e1 cerca de dois anos, Susan notou uma mancha vermelha do tamanho de uma moeda de dez c\u00eantimos no tornozelo que tinha sido reparado cirurgicamente ap\u00f3s o acidente. A mancha n\u00e3o do\u00eda, mas n\u00e3o desapareceu e, apesar do tratamento, o seu estado de sa\u00fade agravou-se nos meses seguintes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apareceram les\u00f5es em todo o corpo, exceto no rosto. Consultou dermatologistas e alergologistas, mas n\u00e3o obteve respostas. \"Ningu\u00e9m sabia o que estava a acontecer\", conta. \"A minha pele estava a descascar. Era nojento. Ningu\u00e9m sabia como resolver o problema.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Um antigo colega de trabalho disse a Susan que o Tobey Hospital tinha aberto o Makepeace Wound Care em agosto de 2023. Trata-se de um dos tr\u00eas centros de tratamento de feridas que a Southcoast Health gere em parceria com Healogia<\/a>A Southcoast Health Wound Care \u00e9 a maior fornecedora de servi\u00e7os avan\u00e7ados de tratamento de feridas do pa\u00eds, que recentemente reconheceu a Southcoast Health Wound Care como Centro de Distin\u00e7\u00e3o<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Susan entrou no escrit\u00f3rio da Dra. Pilar Alonso<\/a>Diretor M\u00e9dico de Tratamento de Feridas da Southcoast Health, em novembro de 2023. \"Quero ajudar-vos\", disse o Dr. Alonso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como n\u00e3o havia nenhuma ferida aberta, o Dr. Alonso decidiu fazer um estudo vascular para verificar o fluxo sangu\u00edneo nas extremidades e determinar se havia algum problema circulat\u00f3rio. Mas assim que a bra\u00e7adeira de press\u00e3o arterial foi insuflada, Susan sentiu \"uma dor agonizante, uma dor latejante\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foi internada no Tobey Hospital, onde os cirurgi\u00f5es descobriram uma grave infe\u00e7\u00e3o por estafilococos que se tinha tornado s\u00e9ptica. Um dos cirurgi\u00f5es disse a Susan que ela tinha sorte por ainda ter a perna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As culturas de sangue e outros testes determinaram que tipo de antibi\u00f3ticos seriam administrados por via intravenosa. Passou quase tr\u00eas semanas no hospital, de meados de novembro a princ\u00edpios de dezembro, seguidas de reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o no Sippican Health Care Center, em Marion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Eu estava numa cadeira de rodas. N\u00e3o conseguia andar\", disse Susan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regressou a casa em dezembro com a ajuda do Southcoast Health Visiting Nurse Association (Associa\u00e7\u00e3o de Enfermeiras Visitantes de Sa\u00fade de Southcoast)<\/a>A paciente foi tratada com um penso de vacina, que seguiu o plano de tratamento prescrito pelo Dr. Alonso e pela equipa de tratamento de feridas. Todas as quartas-feiras, durante 20 semanas, foi mudar o penso da ferida no tornozelo. A Dra. Alonso e a sua equipa de enfermagem faziam avalia\u00e7\u00f5es semanais e planos de tratamento que comunicavam \u00e0 Southcoast VNA. A Susan melhorou e teve alta dos cuidados da Dra. Alonso em abril de 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dr. Alonso, chamo-lhe o meu anjo. Ela \u00e9 uma pessoa atenciosa, divertida, calorosa e maravilhosa\", disse Susan. \"A sua equipa \u00e9 fant\u00e1stica. Se a Dra. Alonso n\u00e3o me tivesse aceite como doente, n\u00e3o consigo imaginar o resultado, e estou-lhe eternamente grata.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embora Susan tenha recuperado da infe\u00e7\u00e3o, continua a enfrentar desafios. As les\u00f5es que sofreu no acidente ainda lhe causam dores. Mas j\u00e1 n\u00e3o est\u00e1 a tomar antibi\u00f3ticos e medicamentos para as dores e est\u00e1 ansiosa por passar tempo com a sua primeira bisneta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Susan est\u00e1 grata a todas as pessoas que a ajudaram, incluindo as pessoas que lhe prepararam as refei\u00e7\u00f5es e limparam o quarto. \"As pessoas do centro de tratamento de feridas cuidam de si como se fosse um pai ou um av\u00f4. Isso ajuda a curar. Isso proporciona conforto. Um s\u00edtio maravilhoso e pessoas maravilhosas.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
