Hi GG! I have a friend who is a nurse at a trauma center. You are right.. the little suckers to their job and do it well. The maggots are “sterile” meaning they are “raised” specifically for medical use. The staff doesn’t keep a rotting piece of meat somewhere to collect the. The nurse counts the number applied and removes that same number. I will say this: the doctor would have to write me a prescription to put me in la-la land but I’d consent to this therapy if it allowed me to keep a limb.

You’d probably already have that for most of the wounds they would treat like this, the exception being one deep in the flesh, but perhaps not all that serious - one that was difficult to reach.
As yefragetuwrabrumuy articulated, the ability to get into hard to access areas is a big plus of this therapy. The first case I ever saw (TV - never saw one in the flesh, so to speak) was an old woman who had an infection deep in some scar tissue from a previous injury - very deep - looked like she got hit with a meat cleaver or something decades before. The doctors would have had to cut away quite a bit of tissue to get at it.
Take one bottle of bourbon daily until wound heals...LOL It helps a lot with diabetics who have stubborn wounds the cannot heal and I believe they are painless if you dont think about whats under that dressing. LOL
