Amputation

They had an acute kidney injury on admission and blood sugar was poorly controlled.

Amputation was deferred until the medical complications had stabilized.

The first review by a physician was the medical registrar seven days after admission following a medical emergency call when the patient developed signs of severe sepsis.

The reviewers commented that the preoperative care was poorly organized.

They operate under conditions that would horrify anyone with modern medical knowledge.

Amputation is common.

If you are shot in the leg, they will probably amputate it.

If you are shot in the arm, you are a candidate for amputation.

Yes, I had to make a decision about how I was going to pull it out and whether there was a weird thing at the front which would then stay in my thumb and go all mouldy and I'd be putting...

Amputation, it's the only way forward.

That sort of thing.

Yes.

His leg had completely shattered and split open, but the infection had spread even further, reaching his abdomen covered in tiny holes occupied by more dark appendages.

Amputation was no longer a viable option, so he kept backing away as John screamed in agony, visibly trying to fight against the sentinel's movement inside him.

As we got to the space between cars, John unwillingly grabbed onto Maya with his arms.

She fought back, but even without the tendrils, John was far stronger than all of us.

Like I said, a lot of it has to do with the injury and illness rates within an industry.

And I will tell you, Amputations is coming back this coming fiscal year.

So it will be back in 2019.

There's a new program and a lot of the same NAICS codes that were in the old program will be in it again.

And then you, you know, you keep them on, like, a carprofen to make sure we're supporting the other joints.

Amputation's not the end of the world for a dog.

And to have that pet for an additional year or longer, yeah, maybe it was worth it, but it would be worth it.

But by the time the dog had gotten to be pathological fracture, I could have still done the amputation, but by, by then the, the chest was all full of tumors, so it had spread.

The whole thesis of this show, and I think I've been talking about this since season one, is when he says, "I don't know any other way to make a living." And b- because he's not being paid as a doctor, and, and he's stopped doing the, like, public ...

The only way he was getting paid as a doctor- Right ... was doing those public- Amputations and whatnot ... sur- amputations, which he stopped doing because of her.

Right.

Right? Because she couldn't be there for them.

You require a lot of patience.

It requires a lot of energy to do limb salvage, okay? You have to connect with all the different specialties, okay? And limb salvage is the right thing to do, okay? Amputation is the expediated thing to do.

Sometime- it always it's do the right thing, okay? 'Cause in this world, I've noticed it's kind of sad how bad the world has gotten to the point where, I mean, people have lack of empathy, people have lack of morals.

I mean, it is so rare to find somebody with integrity, morals, not rude, not a bad person, n- And then on top of that, it is so easy to buy people out.
