Megan Hunt: abdominal wall transplant follow-up
Megan's new abdominal skin has sensation and no signs of infection after transplant.
In Plain English
Megan's follow-up is reassuring, but the episode gives only a brief graft and infection check.
What Happened in the Episode
Megan has sensation in the new skin and no signs of infection.
Clinical Concept
Post-transplant wound and sensation follow-up.
What ER Teams Would Evaluate
A real team would assess graft perfusion, infection, sensation, pain, labs, immunosuppression, rejection signs, and wound healing.
Treatment and Management Overview
No new treatment is shown for Megan in this episode's medical notes.
What TV Gets Right
The episode includes basic graft follow-up rather than ending the transplant story immediately after surgery.
What TV Compresses
The episode does not document immunosuppression, rejection surveillance, cultures, labs, or discharge planning.
