Hello Billy D,

One of my major sore points currently with the medical profession, especially with hospitals is the failure to duplicate fairly simple procedures. I'm diabetic and have to be very careful with wounds especially in the lower part of my body. Being a former stroke victim I'm on blood thinners and trying to get thinned blood to your lower legs is often difficult. There's a hospital downtown, the Royal Victoria that does an execllent job of getting this type wound to heal with pressure bandages. I would prefer to get it done at a nearby clinic or hospital closer to home, but the Royal Victoria is the only one doing this procedure.
That's a 17 mile drive through the city and a $15. parking fee once there. You'd think a relatively simple procedure could be performed closer to home wouldn't you? I'm sure you have similar problems in the states. Best wishes.

Cal - Montreal
