I can't see how that makes any sense at all.... unless it's gone through some bad Google translate!

A guy most likely from somewhere in the Middle East now living in the heart of Dixie.


That must have been some serious culture shock!


Edit: Just looked him up online. He went to medical school in Aleppo, Syria.

That would explain the Civil War speciality of sawing off legs.

I had no idea that the amputation market was so competitive - to the point where billboards were a necessity.

He might think he is saying veracious veins, maybe ? Or maybe diabetics or people with gout who are really facing amputation ? He shouldn't have gone with Borat advertising.

Maybe he's trying to say that he is seeing (treating) patients with amputation ulcers and leg ulcers?

They are caused by when the vein bursts open, and I get them in my left ankle so know all about them. They are open sores that are deep and take a few months to heal. I have been dealing with them for over 20 years. I have other complications and do face the possibility of amputation.

Partially correct.

Venous stasis ulcers occur when circulation is impaired to the lower extremities. This is very common with diabetics, especially ones with poorly controlled DM. Essentially the vasculature is damaged and it impairs the circulation leading to areas that aren't served by bloodflow. This can be painful for some people but for most diabetics it is pain free since the diabetes also causes nerve ending injuries otherwise knows as diabetic neuropathy.

I am willing to bet that this doctor is a Vascular Surgeon and is looking at methods to increase vascularization to the lower extremities. If bad enough there is no other choice but to amputated the limb before it becomes gangrenous. Rezerekted good luck with your problems.

I would think a poor fitting leg prosthetic might cause them too. I had a neighbor that had issues until they got his leg perfect.

Someone who lurks here on SimHQ pointed out to me that he's wearing a butcher's apron in that picture (I also posted this on Facebook).

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet.
I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.
