homeless people and others whose self-preservation instincts may be clouded by alcohol or psychiatric illness face a greater risk of frostbite-related amputation because they are more likely to stay out in the cold when prudence dictates seeking shelter
Pro - The greater the risk, the greater the reward Con - Risk = Loss
Yes, there is a correlation between smoking and leg amputation. Smoking increases the risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD), which reduces blood flow to the limbs and can lead to severe complications, including infections and gangrene. Consequently, this can result in leg amputation in severe cases. Studies have consistently shown that smokers are at a higher risk for vascular diseases that contribute to such outcomes.
if you want all the living tissue in that area to die and risk amputation of that area
limb(s) amputation and/or death from infection
When amputation is not performed in the case of limb infection there are a number of risks. The main risk is that the infection will spread further than the infected limb and that this may become life threatening.
you can prevent auto amputations bye not doing anythink
In this situation, it is better to prioritize greater safety over less risk.
Excess fat around the _______ represents a greater risk to health than excess fat elsewhere on the body.
They will require a higher rate of return for the investment that has greater risk
Edema itself is not a direct cause for amputation, but it can be a contributing factor in certain conditions. Severe or chronic edema may lead to complications such as skin breakdown, infection, or poor circulation, which could ultimately necessitate amputation. In patients with underlying issues like diabetes or vascular disease, uncontrolled edema can exacerbate these conditions, increasing the risk of limb loss. Thus, while edema alone does not typically lead to amputation, it can be part of a broader spectrum of health issues that might.

Pyschologists have no greater risk for mental illness. They suffer the same rate that the rest of the population does.
