Mr. William Robin is a 53-year-old male who resides in a rural area. He amputated his left thumb while building a letterbox 3 weeks ago.

He required microsurgery to reattach the phalangeal and he received 24 stiches around the base of the thumb and on the posterior surface of his hand.

He has returned to outpatients at the Riverside Hospital to have his sutures removed. He hopes to return to work shortly.

His nursing care needs have primarily involved pain management, good skin care around his dressing, and occupational therapy.
