Re: [QUAD-L] Mattresses

I prefer the low air loss overlay. It dry's moist areas. It is one of the few things that has been scientifically proven to help heal bedsores. Unfortunately, the morons in charge of medicaid need a doctor's script and verification that you have 2 stage 4 wounds. When I have 2 stage 4 wounds, I'm going to want the mattress, twice daily dressing changes from nurses, some serious pain meds and the name of the idiot that thought up the rule. I bought mine on ebay. The air pump was $42 including shipping. The mattress was $165. I don't think either of the people knew the value or the purpose of what they were selling.   john      In a message dated 8/17/2005 6:23:52 P.M.
