I need someone in the Central CT area to stitch up a child's PICC line for the second time. The PICC line has been in 6 months and looks good...so does the skin. There is no fever or infection.
His LLMD does not do this.
I am reluctant to bring him back to the hospital where they put the line in (6 months ago) and have already re-stitched him once. I am afraid they will want to pull the line or start balking or asking questions.
Can I go to a walk-in? Any suggestions of who else to see would be appreciated.
