Journal

On placement today, I assisted with a patient with severe ostepmyelitis. The patient had previously had his left leg amputated. The patient’s consultant had requested AP and Lateral from knee to foot.

Reflection

I found this a difficult situation, the patient was in extreme pain, with his leg in dressing. The patient was a lovely man, fully aware of the situation and under the circustances, very pleasant and co oprative. Manoeuvring this patient for the exposures we needed was extremely difficult, but it was beneficial for making you think outside the box, to enable you to get the best diagnostic images, without any unnecessary pain for the patient.
