this pt has been treated at least 5 times for skin tears. MD says "parchment skin". This was bad yesterday though because the pt refused wound care for 2 days after returning from hospital and that resulted in dressing being stuck to wound near bottom. We soaked for at least 30 min and still wouldn't come off.](https://app.figure1.com/case-detail/169c7e6d-abf6-4c33-84ac-1c6b083c4fa7)
