[Successful treatment of a venous ulcer in an unusual manner].
Wound treatment is increasingly becoming the domain of specially trained medical personal. The flood of diverse wound treatments and bandaging techniques grows continuously. Studies which compare the effectiveness deliver such a variety of results that medical personal are starting to doubt trusted methods. The presented case study shows how a non-medical measure, in this case a change in the person administering the treatment, or in other words the interpersonal relationship aspect, can significantly contribute to wound healing.
