Re: Help me draw the lineby (no login)Good Case. Let me give you my opinions based on the limited information presented. The most important issue is that the treatment proticol will be decided by the General Surgeon. If it is his habit to do a BKA or other amputation, then that is what will happen. If he wants to start PO Abs and let her return to the NH, that is what he will do. If you are given the imput, you will decide to do aggressive wound care and the general surgeon will find that podiatrists can do wonders even when all hope is gone. Give it your best shot and you will be shocked at how good your treatment is with respect to the patient's healing. Podiatrists are good-- DAMN GOOD. The most important thing every doctor learns is "Judgement". It comes with experience and with humility. You are part of the BEST generation of Podiatrists. Thank you for your post. It is a welcome change from the norm.
