Warning – The Patient Assistant is not intended to be used as an alarm system for situations where
medical attention is needed. Seek medical attention immediately if you are feeling ill and think you
might need to go to the hospital. If there is an emergency, call your local emergency number. If your
doctor has provided other instructions, follow them. Waiting to seek medical attention could be
dangerous to your health.

your incision site until it is completely healed.
