There is never a reason to immediately amputate a limb unless the infection has set in and its beyond hope and going to kill you . Many doctors and people in general think if your paralyzed, you dont need the limbs anyway, so why mess with it........just amputate. If Britney Spears, Rihanna or the doctors mother had curled feet they would never even bring up amputation. This quad girl needs to go to another doctor or two or three until she finds one willing to direct her to the rehab personnel that can deal with this. Totally rediculous. Imagine how many old folks and disabled have had limbs cut off simply because its the easy way to go. god help this woman find help......... ron c7 From: Gmail <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2013 9:45 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] Bad Quad feet Hi All, I was talking to a neighbor friend of mine, who is a C7 quadriplegic female 38 18 years post. She just got back from the podiatrist who told her that he may need to amputate her right foot because her rose have Severely curled under. She was injured at age 17 and never wore shoes right from the beginning because she wears size 11 And could never find shoes to fit. I told her to get a second and third opinion before she did any drastic. Has anybody ever had issues like this before? Bobbie Sent from my iPad
