Not that this justifies it but the foot was attached by a mushy, string like piece of tendon. She used suture removal scissors.

Why was the foot allowed to get that bad before anyone intervened?

If it was gangrene it may have self amputated

If you can’t even cut a patients nails why would you cut off the entire foot😳

Just so y’all new grads are aware… even if the doctor gives you “permission” ….still not in your scope

🤦🏾♀️she should have left it alone to self amputate. I have pulled off a sock and the toe was inside.

This is a bit misleading. The foot was hanging on by nothing. She snipped it with scissors.

The foot should have been removed. Infection can kill.

This is the same place that said my 90yo mil, minus one leg, wc bound, no arm strength to sit up, fell on her face and hip. Nope!

One time I pulled off a sock for my patient and a toe rolled out of it onto the floor 🤢

There’s no justification for this but why he was in LTC. I worked in LTC & they admitted pts that required more care than the center could provide.

I wonder how bad it was...from what I hear, it was just dangling by a tendon

Mary’s family owned a taxidermy shop. According to other nurses, she planned to hang the foot there with a sign: “wear your boots kids.” From Washington Post

In EMS you can amputate in the feild if there is imminent threat of death or further major injury

So her removing the foot is elder abuse but them leaving a necrotic foot on him wasn’t?
