Patient stories as told by the patients themselves
People who have suffered Pressure Ulcers, or have been directly affected have taken the time to share their experiences.
I remember my last pressure injury; I had to treat it for about a year... it was very painful. It’s like adding disability onto disability.
Jackson David
Spinal Cord Injury Patient
“The times I’ve been worried about developing a pressure ulcer have been awful as life literally has to stop.”
Karen Darke
British Paralympian
“The times I’ve been worried about developing a pressure ulcer have been awful. You have to cancel all commitments. It literally means shutting your life down and calling friends to help you with daily things, and that’s emotionally quite distressing.”
Throughout the years I have had friends that have lost their lives to pressure injuries.
