3 年Saving a limb saves a life. Thank you Kym for raising awareness about the notorious vascular disease that involves the arteries below the knee and ankle +\_ in the thigh area. For 30 years we did not see increase in ischemic amputation. Sadly over the last 3-5 years amputation is increasing at an alarming rate of 1-2 % per year + similar increase in Diabetes rates as well as death rates. Say NO to amputation and ask for a 2nd opinion. 90% of second opinion patients DO NOT NEED AN AMPUTATION/& don’t get one ?? please #sharemymessage #sayNOtoamputation #secondopinionsaveslives
