Amputation of patient’s leg prevented
Doctors at Gleneagles Global Health City (GGHC) hospital here successfully treated a 52-year-old woman who developed blood clots in the arteries on her right leg post recovery from COVID-19, thereby avoiding the possibility of having to amputate her leg. A release from the hospital said the woman, a diabetic who underwent treatment at a hospital in Pollachi for about two weeks after testing positive for COVID-19, developed pain in her right leg. When she was referred to the hospital after the pain increased, she lacked sensation and pulse on her leg and her toes had turned dark, indicating imminent onset of gangrene.More Related News
