Dr. Jaiwant Rangi describes a patient who spent six months undergoing repeated surgeries and wound care before multiple surgeons had to amputate his leg. The story illustrates what prolonged, intensive medical treatment costs a person and their family.

It was not one statistic. It was not one study. It was a patient. A man walked into my office with his son beside him, leaning on a walker, and he had just been discharged from the hospital after more than almost 6 months. 6 months of surgeons trying to save his leg. 6 months of wound care. 6 months of complications. And 6 months of hope slowly draining away. Unfortunately, they could not salvage or save his leg.
