Sorry for your Dad's condition but you have said it in your deposition. A diabetic patient not taking medications is bound to have such complications.
No Doctor aims to just want to amputate a limb, it's only done when the limb might be a threat to life.
I wish a speedy recovery to your Dad

I just came back home from the hospital where I spent 3 days with my dad who is diabetic and has a wound on his leg.

In Ondo town, when the wound first developed, he was taken to Trauma in Ondo town where he was treated and the wound healed.

However, soon after my dad was discharged, he refused taking his medication and the sore retruned.

We brought him to LUTH in Lagos. My dad bluntly refused to be placed in the public ward and hence we had to pay through the nose for the private ward at 42,500 a night a room and 25,000 per consultant visit.

Despite all that cost, my dad almost lost his foot and eventually would have been his leg.

I suspect that they had already concluded an amputation of the entire leg was the only option from the word go.

We had to rush my dad to a specialist clinic who are trying to salvage the foot. He has lost the 2 toes due to the poor treatment at LUTH.

His foot may be salvaged eventually and we are finally getting there.

Those doctors at LUTH can be heartless

The problem is that even if the economy improves, price of goods would remain at the level they are because merchants aim to make high profits. The administration may need to also look into that

I watched the bouts. I was really impressed by the performance of our boxers as well as the enthusiasm of the fans. Kudos GOTv

This is very impressive. This nation is destined for greatness

this is why Nigeria can never develop, is all about their pockets.. while innocent citizens suffer for their selfishness

Rather unfortunate

I think what would be best would be for this gentleman, as well as others who may have gone for this program, to come to Nigeria and teach what he has learnt to the younger ones in the army so they dont all have to go to USAWC. It saves the country money while we gain from his experience.
