When can I shower after the surgery?
After 48 hours, keeping the dressing dry, as in your discharge sheet.
When do I take the antibiotics?
Morning and evening with food, for 5 days, as on your sheet.
What if the wound starts to hurt more?
Your sheet says to call the ward on the number at the bottom. If it is severe, go to emergency.
The problem
Patients receive a discharge sheet at a stressful moment and forget much of what was said. Questions come later, by phone, to busy staff. Many patients won’t ask for fear of taking up time.
Who uses it
Patients and carers going home, using a ward or clinic tablet before they leave.
