Most patients if they can only do away with surgery, they will refuse it. My patient who had diabetic foot gangrene refused to have the surgery. Instead, he went home and nurse his own wound. I don't know when I can do the amputation.
The preservation of one's limb is always the primary goal of a patient no matter how critical the amputation is. Most would not accept the explanation that if we cut his limb he will survive.. Many patients would rather preserve their gangrenous foot than to lose them no matter what. But all of them would beg to have the surgery when it cannot be done anymore because he/she could die during the procedure.
