Road accident injury- how to keep coverd
Hi Dr,
My friend has met with an accident and got injury wound on knee and shoulder (pictures attached).
From a local Dr. nearby (Rural area) he has taken Tetanus injection and applied Betadine but the Dr. didn't cover the wound on shoulder n knee.
Could you please let us know how should we keep it covered as touching of shoulder wound with bed during sleeping is very painful for him.
Thank you!
