My sister's friend has been diabetic for decades (no idea if it's type
1 or 2) and has diabetic sores that don't heal. Gangrene is an issue,
so she's considering amputation below the knee as a prophylactic
measure because she's sick and tired of dealing with the sores and
pain. The thought of voluntary amputation totally grosses me out.
