| Popis: | Caring for a family member diagnosed with schizophrenia will not only impart a lifetime emotional distress but also social and financial challenge. Failure to anticipate and cope with the burden of care responsibilities will add an unnecessary risk to permanent injury resulting in a substandard management of the patient and even death. We describe a case of successful removal of nine (9) constricting rings from the finger of both hands in a poorly taken care of an abusive relapse schizophrenia patient using an oscillating saw and ring cutter under prosedural sedation combined with wrist block in emergency department (ED). Early recognition and a definitive treatment are of paramount importance in order to avoid irreversible ischemia and gangrene. The possible risk of negligence should be kept in mind bearing a link with depression among members caring for schizophrenia. |
