It doesn’t say what kind of injury he suffered, from which this infection started — it sounds almost like a fluke case. And it ravaged his limbs, but no report of internal damage? Weird. It might not have taken a lot to show that “this case received the best practices known to medical science.” OF COURSE I hope that medical science would learn from cases like this, but you can bet that if they do, it is on the Q.T. lest they attract more lawsuits. That is one problem with an overly heavy hand of the law — it drives the treatment of doubtful cases out of the sunlight.
