I have a patient with a very long (almost 3 inches) very oval ostomy that is recessed in a abdominal fold. I have tried to put a shit ton of ostomy paste, a molded wax ring, stoma powder and tape on the ostomy bag and it still leaks. The patient is having skin breakdown because of this and the stool is getting all over their wounds. I need some advice from some badasses with more experience than me.

Dude sits on the very edge of his chair and won't sit tf back or lay in the damn bed. Alert and oreinted; just a stubborn arse. He slips onto the floor everytime and just ends up on his knees. So much paper work for something so damn stupid. I refuse to take him back. He cussed me out and yelled at me 3 times because I wouldn't give him pain med when his blood pressures were below the systolic low limit. Just had to rant. Thank you.
