Here is the message from an e-postcard my friend, Bryan with the toe dilemma sent out Thursday:
well i have had my 2nd opinion and oh how his input has affected this current predicament. much gratitude to WAREF AZMEH M.D. for after his opinion that my toe is most probably just has a severe tissue infection and that an amputation is not very likely, unlike what my original M.D. told me. i feel my first M.D. may have been a little trigger happy with the amptation procedure, maybe he hadn’t done one in a while and i looked like i had a good trophy toe.
anyway surgery is still called for I.N.D. specifically. but the funny thing is that after DR. AZMEH conferred his diagnosis with my original M.D., i got a call from him later confirming the I.N.D. procedure and commenting “its good for you that you got that 2nd opinion”. @#%*&@
now had i have been the “no second guessing the doctor type” you might all be callin me stubby. granted i’m not real comfortable with my original M.D. doin the I.N.D. procedure, hopefully he doesn’t get antsy and end up amptuating my toe accidentally on purpose. well thats all until surgery is over.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE HANDICAPPED OR THE SECOND OPINION.
"trigger happy with the amputation"
Yikes, that's one doctor you don't want.
