Hello All! Since I work in a family practice I don't come accross situations like this a lot. In fact this is the first one I have seen. I will post what the office notes say:
"CC: Recheck wound over left eye
HPI: patient had a laceration repair back in june from when a branch fell against his forhead. This repair was performed by another physician.
Procedure: Area was prepped and draped in a sterile fasion with betadine prep. ....we did explore the site and feel we were adjacent to something. Several grasps were unsuccessful. We finally did reach it with a pair of forcepts and grabbed the item just near enough to the base that it did free it up and revealed a large triangular piece of bark or branch that had probably embedded beneith the point of exploration. Wound was dressed thereafter and he should not expect any furthur difficulties with this site.
A/P: left forehead, foreign body."
Ok, help! Can anyone point me in a direction
Thanks!
