Stop Incentivizing Laziness in Wound Care

Dr. G calls for rigorous, patient-centered wound care in this episode of Diabetic Profiles, warning against using convenience or advanced products as shortcuts. She explains why wounds respond to biology, not workflow, and stresses the need for thorough assessment—vascular evaluation, offloading, infection control, glycemic management, and socioeconomic support.

The episode advocates for multidisciplinary care, critical thinking over product-driven decisions, and incentives that reward meaningful outcomes (like limb preservation) rather than speed or product utilization.
