Amputation

Amputations cannot be performed on patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, heart failure, or infection. Patients with blood clotting disorders are also not good candidates for amputation.

If they're a minor, contact the Shriners Hospitals for Children.

As long as one's devotion is done on his/her own body, it is a deadly sad way to cope with inner suffering. Much better it would be to seek for psychological help, but it's a free will question there. Obviously, if the devotion is to someone else's amputation...it's a crime and therefore the culprit is a mentally unstable person.

First aid or emergency care given immediately after the amputation has a critical impact on both the physicians' ability to salvage and reattach the severed part(s) and the patient's ability to regain feeling and function.

Nonhealing is usually due to an inadequate blood supply. The rate of nonhealing varies from 5-30% depending on the facility

It means that your arms or legs or parts of them have been removed either by a doctor or by a accident.

Soldiers with amputations and other severe injuries were generally sent home or simply discharged from the army to get home on their own. Officers, especially high-ranking officers, often stayed in military service after amputations. A wooden leg or missing arm or blinded eye would be part of their image on the battlefield.

depend on the medical cause underlying the decision to amputate and the degree of medical urgency. In some cases, drug therapy may be considered as an alternative

The amount of worker's compensation received will depend on the finger lost. Federal guidelines require the complete loss of a thumb to be paid at 75 weeks' compensation and the complete loss of the first finger to be paid at 46 weeks' compensation. The weeks, compensation is based on current pay of the employee and may be adjusted based on the percentage of loss. For instance, if one quarter of the first finger is lost, the adjustment may pay out at one fourth of the 46 weeks' compensation.

It depends on the type of gangrene. "Dry" gangrene is primarily caused from local loss of blood circulation to the leg without infection. It typically appears as slowly darkening to black dead limb (usually toes or fingers, however). If secondary infection doesn't occur, there is a fair chance the dead part will separate itself ("autoamputate") and the remaining stump heal with time. "Wet" gangrene, on the other hand, is severe infection happening concurrently with impaired blood flow to the limb. The disease process can lead to death in days/weeks, depending on the aggressiveness of the infectious agent, concurrent medical problems, and corollary care given the patient. High fever from septicemia (infection in blood stream) leads to resistant hypotension (low blood pressure) which, in turn, leads to multi-organ failure.

nothing lol

The answer to this question depends on the body part that has been amputated. If one has a leg amputation, for example, it should not be a deterrent to succeeding at a sit-down desk job.

Steel toed shoes will not amputate your toes. There are, however, severe situations under which they will be unable to protect your toes. Those are conditions under which you would also loose your toes if you were not wearing safety-to shoes.

Yes.

There have been several and I:ll try to give the reasons for the amputation. First of all the best known Sarah Bernhardt ( stage accident), Jane Froman ( war-related accident, airplane crash), Suzan Ball ( cancer related) died within a year of the amputation, and Zsa Zsa Gabor ( complications of accident). so there you have it One wonders if the so-called good luck toast ( break a Leg!) may be homage to Bernhardt.
