On the follow up care... The immediate instructions were good, and I'm following them. It was really helpful they were printed out in detail, because I was pretty stressed and out of it and wouldn't have remembered the instructions otherwise. I've been kind of struggling with how to bandage this area, and perhaps they would have some suggestions that are better than what I've been trying, but since the original bandage I was sent home in was very different than what I now need to do, I didn't think to ask for some suggestions for just how to bandage this spot. Maybe this detail could be included in the follow up instructions.

The University of Utah medical experience has been awesome. I would recommend them to everyone. The experience starts when you walk through the door. I have always been met by a staff member. They have taken their time to ask me if I need help in finding where I need to be. On my first visit that was extremely helpful. Since then I have always been met by a staff member asking if I need help. Great comfort and time savings. It has been a great experience coming to the University of Utah medical clinic.

UofU Patient
November 12, 2012
Dr. Duffy was superb!
UofU Patient
November 12, 2012
I believe that the aftercare was not intentionally forgotten. We had gotten off topic and it slipped everyone's mind. However, I did call to find out the following day and waited for a return call, with none forthcoming. I had to call back a second time, and at that point after a several hours had passed, I had to get to work, and left home without cleaning the wound properly.
UofU Patient
