Colleague praises Wound Care Center teamwork
Nurse Assistant Diana Fuller, Medical Director Nicholas O. Biasotto, D.O., Admin Assistant Kei-Shanda Saddler, and colleagues at the Wound Care Center took some of the bite out of an unusual infectious disease case caused by a patient’s encounter with poisonous spiders.
The following letter in praise of care and treatment at the Wound Care Center was sent to Lynn C. Jones, FACHE, senior vice president of Post Acute Care Services:
Dear Mr. Jones,
I just have to take a minute and tell you of the exemplary care my sister is receiving at the Wound Care Center at Riverside. Barbara developed four non-healing wounds as a result of spider bites. She started treatment with Dr. [Nicholas] Biasotto last November. I was so worried for her. The wounds were deep, infected and getting worse every day.
As soon as we entered the wound care center. it was obvious we were in a well-organized, skilled and knowledgeable program with a team approach to care. Dr. Biasotto is now Barb’s favorite doc, with excellent surgical skills and a wonderful bedside manner.
Barb loves all the nurses and considers Diana Fuller to be “her nurse.” I would also like to mention that Kei-Shanda Saddler at the front desk welcomes everyone by name, is polite and respectful, and knows the answers to everyone’s questions.
Dr. Hauer, her infectious disease doctor, says the last culture reports were very good. From actual instructions for wound care, to nutrition, to general health, the team at the Wound Care Center is teaching us to see the total picture.
Please let everyone know how thankful Barb and I are that we have this exemplary team. You should be so proud!
Take care,
Patricia S. Lincoln, RN, BSN, ACRN, Site Director Delaware Local Performance Site Pennsylvania/MidAtlantic AIDS Education and Training CenterÂ
