1. Counselling Conundrum: a real question from a patient
2. Concise Conclusion: a straight-forward patient-friendly answer
3. Quick Wrap-up
Clearly, there are nuances that may not be captured in this format. The goal here is to provide you with helpful counselling tips which often draw from multiple sources or those which are not commonly accessed by busy healthcare providers serving the community.
Counselling Conundrum: "I have this cream I need to apply to the middle of my back. Is there some sort of device to help with this? What should I do? I don't have anyone to help me."
Concise Conclusion: There are certainly devices out there, though most pharmacies likely won't carry them. You could try a silicone spatula from the kitchen! Just make sure you no longer use it for food.
Quick Wrap-up: Sometimes patients have questions that don't have neat evidence-based answers, but don't be afraid to simply think of what you would do yourself in these situations.
