Amputating a Toe on the Porch
In general, most of us desire to continue living with all the components we began with. But alas, fate is cruel, and occasionally you have to say goodbye to some unrelated pieces. You might suffer an injury, or you might require an amputation to stop future harm. For instance, gangrene might develop if a severe infection is not appropriately treated. That might result in an immediate amputation, which is exactly what occurred to one Missouri guy who picked the incorrect doctor.
John Ure, a former physician, decided to amputate the man's toe since it had become gangrenous. The specifics are crucial at this point. Ure's workplace doubled as a tool shed. It lacked even an exam table and running water. Additionally, Ure carried out the amputation while standing on the porch.
Ure claimed that everything was sterile while acting in accordance with standard medical procedure. Given that he wasn't even given antibiotics, medical records imply that may not be the case. But he did improperly administer medicines to two additional patients, which resulted in his losing his license.
