question about amputation [View all]
I was wondering, as I write this my sister in law (my wife's twin sister) 64 years old has been in a coma for several days after getting C dif it has gotten to the point that when they took her colon out she got blood clots in her left leg, she is getting that leg amputated below the knee.
What if anyone knows is the survival rate for such an operation?
