Do you disagree with the above?
how can I argue with what has been reported in longitudinal studies? My point if you would bother to READ what I said is that amputation is not the procedure ti deal with compartment syndrome. The first line of medical care would be reduction which is indeed surgical but it is not amputation.
Why don’t we all wait until this goes to trial so we can find out more facts rather than just jumping to the conclusion that the police are at fault. Sometimes there are folks out there that will blame all of their misfortunes on someone else
