Ep. 58 - The Essentials of an OncoPT Lymphedema Clinic

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Last week, I covered my favorite must-haves for a general oncology clinic. Today's episode covers my favorite, <em>essential</em> items for an onco-lymphedema clinic. The idea with these two episodes is to pare down all the excess "toys" & "gadgets that tend to clutter our clinics - or to give those starting a clinic an idea of what they really need at the heart of all the "stuff."</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Disclaimer here before we get started: in my clinic, I usually only treat upper extremity lymphedema related to cancer. I rarely treat lower extremity lymphedema related to cancer, & I do not treat patients who have lymphedema caused by other conditions due to my typical patient population & my particular clinic set-up (I refer these patients to another practitioner). For more information on lymphedema & its treatment, I highly recommend my good friend Betty Westbrook's <a href= "https://lymphedemapodcast.com/podcast-2/">Lymphedema Podcast</a>.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Many of the things I'll discuss in today's episode are similar to last week's essentials. Good news for us who treat both general oncology & lymphedema!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
