Another SCI patient will be of good help. Most important is having psychiatrist consultation at most priority, as obviously he is depressed. a physiotherapist can help him to some extent as we know the problem and can explain in better way. help him getting out of trauma first . treat the bedsore. MRSA should not hinder the management. I agree with stefanja as far as infection concerns. regards , charu. [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
