I did not say cannot. Lord I wish you people had some reading comprehension training…. my comments were simply that compartment syndrome is itself not treated by amputation…. a reduction is the medical procedure for acute cases (which though not rare are uncommon)…. amputation is a rare result of such cases and comes from the necrosis of the surrounding tissues….it is secondary.

I am done FR has a bunch of police hating folks who only hate the medical profession more. My question to you is why not wait until the trial occurs and we get the facts before jumping to an immediate the police are at fault conclusion???

Ah so you are parsing words and now attempting double speak to worm your way out of a corner.

Of course compartment syndrome isn’t “treated” with amputation. Amputation is a possible outcome if compartment syndrome isn’t treated, which is the case here. Its a treatment for the infection and necrosis caused by the compartment syndrome.

So run away doc, you appear to be nothing more than a quack who makes excuses for other incompetents. The police are at fault because she was in custody when this occurred.
