This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

A Quick Glimpse
I know it isn’t a good excuse for what I did,
but Del had never been very nice to me. He didn’t
talk a whole lot, and when he did, he was usually
telling mean jokes. Just that morning, he’d called
me “Germy” instead of “Jamie” when I got on the
bus. The name-calling was a long and humiliating
story. Last summer, I ended up in the hospital
with a really bad flu, and a few kids started a
rumor saying I’d gotten sick by crawling through
garbage. I don’t know who came up with the
nickname “Germy,” but Del still hadn’t let it go.
Try as I might to ignore him, it still bothered me.
So when our principal, Mrs. Cosgrove, poked
her head inside our classroom and quietly asked
Del to come to her office, I naturally thought that
he’d done something mean to someone. After all,
it wouldn’t have been the first time.

During morning recess, I hung out with some
other girls in a sunny corner near the building.
Through the window, I caught a glimpse of Del
sitting in the principal’s office. A woman I didn’t
recognize stood between him and a smaller
boy in another chair. The boy was crying, and
the woman was trying to comfort him while
Del scowled.
“Do you see that?” I asked my friends, but
just at that moment, Mrs. Cosgrove snapped the
blinds shut.
“What?” asked May.
“Del was in Principal Cosgrove’s office, and
he and the principal both seemed angry. A little
kid and a woman were in there with them, but
I’ve never seen them before.”
“Del’s constantly in Principal Cosgrove’s
office,” May said.
“Maybe he said something mean to that poor
little guy,” I said, thinking out loud.
“Sounds like Del,” Cassie said as she
shrugged.
The longer I thought about what I saw,
the worse the situation seemed. The crying kid
couldn’t have been any more than a first grader,
or maybe even a kindergartner. I thought of all the
mean things Del had said to my friends and me,
and it made me angry.
At the end of the day, I realized that Del had
never returned to class. On my way to catch up with
my friends, I peeked through the principal’s window
again, but the office was deserted. I spotted Cassie
and ran over to her.
“Del never came back to class today. He must
have been sent home,” I whispered, jumping to
my first conclusion. Cassie’s eyes widened. It felt
good to see her so interested in what I said. “I bet
he did something really terrible to that poor little
kid. Now that I think about it, I remember the
kid’s face looking puffy, like maybe Del hit him!”
Cassie looked even more shocked. Just then,
May ran up behind us and asked what we were
talking about.
“Jamie thinks Del might have beat up a
kindergartner because he was sent home and
never came back,” Cassie said. May’s mouth
fell open, and without thinking, I nodded in
agreement.

The Big Story
My friends and I were at our usual spot
around the swings before the first bell the
following day when a ball rolled by from the
nearby kickball game.
“Hey,” my friend Matt said as he jogged over
to pick up the ball, “have you seen Del?”
I realized no one had called me “Germy” on the
ride to school that morning and said, “No. Why?”
Matt stepped closer to whisper. “I heard
Principal Cosgrove expelled him for beating up a
kindergartner,” he said. “I guess he punched out
the kid’s teeth and gave him two shiners.”
Everyone gasped, and I buried my feet into the
sand beneath the swings. That couldn’t have been
what actually happened—I hadn’t seen any black
eyes or missing teeth. Del wasn’t at school, though,
so maybe he had been expelled.
“Where did you hear that?” I asked.
Matt shrugged and said, “The whole school’s
talking about it.”
“Jamie, you were right!” Cassie said, and
everyone nodded.
I loved the feeling that came with knowing
so many people had heard my assumptions and
passed them on. It didn’t really matter that they
had changed parts of the story because we were
all having fun, and I couldn’t imagine that Del
would even care.
By the time we sat down for class, everyone was
whispering about Del’s expulsion, so we were
surprised when he walked through the door. All
the kids fell silent and stared as Del made his way
to his seat at the back of the classroom. He looked
at the ground till he sat down, and the kids next to
him shifted their desks away.

“What’s your problem, dork?” Del snorted at
the boy next to him.
“I don’t want you to attack me,” the kid
taunted. A few people laughed.
“Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he figured
it was a joke, but some students gasped in horror,
as if he was admitting he did beat up someone.
For our science lab, we had to split up into
groups, but no one wanted to work with Del. Mr.
Sanchez eventually had to force a group to include
Del, but they looked uneasy about it. I peeked at
them a couple of times during class, and the rest
of the group was completely ignoring Del, who
just sat there tapping his pencil against the desk.
At morning recess, Mr. Sanchez asked Del
to stay and talk for a moment. Some of the kids
laughed at him on their way out. “Did he put
someone else in the hospital?” one of them asked.
When Del joined recess a few minutes later, he
immediately tried to join the kickball game.
“Neither team wants you,” one of the
players said.
“What are you talking about?” Del asked, looking
confused. “I always play kickball with you guys.”
They ignored Del and started playing again.
As he walked away, sulking, someone called, “We
don’t want you to lose and start a fight.”
Del sat by himself on a bench against the
building while the rest of the school enjoyed their
recess around him.
I didn’t want to, but I was starting to feel sorry
for Del.

Playing Telephone
When we returned to the classroom, everyone
could see that Mr. Sanchez was in a serious mood.
“Everyone arrange your chairs in a circle,” he
said. We did, but there were big spaces on either
side of Del. Mr. Sanchez frowned. “We’re going to
play Telephone. I’m going write down a sentence
on this card. I’ll whisper the sentence into Sayid’s
ear, and then he’ll whisper what he hears to the
next person. Remember to pass on exactly what
you believe you hear.”
Mr. Sanchez wrote something on the card,
turned the card facedown, and then whispered
into Sayid’s ear. Sayid whispered to the next
person, and she whispered to the next. By the
time it came around to me, it sounded like
“Double leaves everything in your ear.”
“What? That’s ridiculous!” I exclaimed.
“Just repeat exactly what you hear,” Mr. Sanchez
instructed. So I continued, and eventually the
message made its way around to Mr. Sanchez
again. He announced what he had heard.
“Dope leaning ringing in your ear,” he said,
and everyone burst into giggles.

8. 13 14
“Now, here’s how the message began,” he said,
turning over the card and showing the group. It
read, “Don’t believe everything that you hear.”
“This is a good lesson to learn,” Mr. Sanchez
began, “since it seems as though rumors about
one person or another are always buzzing around
the hallways. I hope this game makes you see that
passing on a rumor, or starting one, is like feeding
a monster—it mutates a little and gets bigger until
it’s completely different from when it started. It
usually gets meaner, uglier, and more hurtful to
the person everyone is gossiping about. Words
have consequences, and once a gossip monster
has started, it’s almost impossible to stop.”
The whole class knew what Mr. Sanchez was
talking about, even though he didn’t mention
it specifically. A few people glanced at Del, who
looked pretty embarrassed. Although Mr. Sanchez
couldn’t have known my role in the rumors about
Del, it felt as if he were speaking to me alone.
I swallowed, feeling the red-hot guilt all over
my face.
“I hope that my students wouldn’t feed gossip
monsters because I’ve taught my students to treat
each other with respect,” Mr. Sanchez said with
finality.
He was right, and I knew it, which made me
feel horrible. I thought my friends would feel just
as bad and that they would blame me. All I could
think about until lunchtime were the awful things
they would say to me.
I slunk to my usual table in the cafeteria with
my head low, but despite Mr. Sanchez’s lesson,
Del was still the center of every conversation.
“My mom’s a nurse, and she saw the kid in
the hospital looking as if he’d been hit by a
truck,” someone said.
“Why haven’t they expelled him already?
Aren’t they concerned that he’ll keep beating up
kindergartners?” someone else asked.
The Gossip Monster • Level V
9. 15 16
“Maybe they’ll send Del to prison,”
said another.
“They’re sending Del to prison?” a kid at
another table hissed.
The rumor was growing completely out
of control. I pictured each statement joining,
growing, and mutating with each assumption
into a gross beast that nibbled on Del. Meanwhile,
my friends and I sat around and talked as if there
were nothing wrong, and Del ate lunch alone.
Someone threw a roll that hit him in the back
of the head as he was about to take a drink of his
milk. Everyone laughed—except me. I felt worse
than I had ever felt, even worse than when people
started calling me “Germy.”
I had to do something, but I wasn’t sure what.
I could explain to everyone what I had really
seen, but would they even listen to me? Maybe
if I just ignored it, the rumor would disappear
as it almost had with people saying I liked
crawling through garbage. Doing nothing
didn’t seem right.
I left my lunch—I wasn’t hungry anyway—
and went to talk to the one person I thought
would know what to do.
Doing What’s Fair
“What can I help you with, Jamie?” Mr. Sanchez
asked when I sat down in front of his desk.
I tried to think of a way to describe what
happened without making myself look like a
terrible person. Then I realized that trying to
make myself look good was how the whole mess
had started.
“Yesterday during recess I looked in Principal
Cosgrove’s window, and I saw Del and a little kid
in there with a woman,” I began. Mr. Sanchez’s
expression quickly changed from kind and
interested to worried and tired.

10. 17 18
“I hope you aren’t going to tell me that you
heard something awful about Del,” he said. “Too
many rumors are going around already.”
“No, and I know they aren’t true,” I said,
taking a deep breath and steadying myself,
“because I started them.”
Mr. Sanchez’s eyebrows shifted way up.
“I saw a kindergartner crying, and a woman
trying to comfort him. I told my friends that
maybe Del was in trouble for beating him up, and
now the rumor has spread all over the school.”
“Rumors tend to spread like wildfire,”
Mr. Sanchez said before he sighed and folded
his hands on the table. “Why would you say
something so awful about Del?”
“Del and I aren’t friends,” I began. “He teases
me a lot, and he’s constantly in trouble. I just
figured that he was in trouble this time, too.”
Mr. Sanchez looked at me for a moment, and
I thought I was really in trouble. Then he said,
“I bet that game we played today really sparked
something inside your head.”
I nodded.
“Now you know that in real life it only takes
one person jumping to a conclusion, making an
assumption, or telling a little white lie to start a
rumor that becomes really hurtful.”

11. 19 20
I thought about what he had said, and he
was right. The rumor about me crawling through
garbage probably began as a joke between some
people and just continued to grow.
“I talked about Del without knowing what had
really happened,” I said. “That’s not fair, or nice,
but I loved the feeling when it started because
I felt really popular. People were interested in
what I had to say, and I was getting back at Del
for being mean.”
I hated to admit it, but explaining how I felt
made me feel as if I had become a real monster. I
had truly hurt Del for completely selfish reasons.
I’d been assuming that Del was a bully, when
really I’d been the bully—not by beating up anyone,
but by gossiping.
“Does it still seem so enjoyable now that you’ve
hurt Del’s feelings?” Mr. Sanchez asked. I shook my
head, and I think he could tell that I felt terrible.
“It’s normal for people to jump to conclusions,
Jamie. We see something happening, and our
minds start to build stories. We have to realize that
the assumptions we make aren’t really the truth.
The same goes for when you hear someone else
gossiping—you shouldn’t believe every story
you hear.”
“What do you do when you know for a fact
that something is true?” I asked.
“It’s usually best not to gossip about people
when they’re not around—unless you’re saying
nice things,” he said. “Let people speak for
themselves, and let other people decide what they
want to believe.”
“So why was Del really in Principal
Cosgrove’s office?” I blurted out before Mr.
Sanchez’s words had sunk in. I blushed, and he
smiled. This whole not-gossiping thing was going
to take some work.
“If you really want to know the truth, it’s
always best to find the source,” he said. “You
should probably ask Del, but I think an apology
might be in order first.”

Telling the Truth
Outside, Del sat alone and watched the
kickball game. I was so nervous that I could
hardly talk.
“Hey,” I said as I walked up to him.
“What do you want, Germy?” Del snapped
without taking his eyes off the game. I almost
retreated, but something in his voice sounded
more hurt than angry.
“I want to apologize,” I said simply.
Del refused to look at me, but he was paying
attention. “When I saw you in Principal
Cosgrove’s office yesterday, I told people that she
sent you home for beating that kindergartner up.”
“Beating up a little kid?” Del said, disgusted.
“That was my mom and my little brother.” I
didn’t even know Del had a little brother, and
now I felt even worse.
“Oh,” I said, “I just want to apologize for
saying something so mean.”
“My dad got hurt,” Del said, finally looking
at me as if he was challenging me. “He was
deployed overseas in the Army. Mom was
telling us that they’re going to send him home.”
“Will he be okay?” I asked quietly. Del’s angry
face softened a bit.
“Yeah. My brother was just scared.”
He shrugged. “Not that anyone will believe
the truth, now that they think I beat him up.”
Anger crept back into his face.
“I’m really sorry to hear about your dad, and
I’m glad he’ll be okay.”
“Okay, Jamie,” he said with a shrug. It was
the first time he’d used my real name in months.
I almost smiled. He returned to watching the
game as my friend pulled me away.
“Why are you talking to him?” May asked.
“You don’t want to be friends with a kid beater.”
“None of that’s true,” I said, “and we
shouldn’t keep gossiping about it.”

13. 23 24
“You said the kid looked like he’d been beaten
up,” May retorted.
“That’s what you told us,” Cassie said.
“I did,” I said, “and that was wrong. I shouldn’t
have made those assumptions because none of
them were true. I was talking to Del because I was
apologizing for gossiping about him when I didn’t
know the truth.”
Cassie, Matt, and May all looked at each other
sheepishly, and I could tell they were thinking
about the assumptions they had made about Del.
“What did happen, then?” asked Cassie.
“If you really want to know, ask Del,” I said,
feeling much better. “I’m done talking behind
other people’s backs.”
