This glass splinter was in the foot of a 31 yr old female for 1 year. She tolerated the pain every time she steps on it. Why? She did not have the money to have it removed. until we opened up a district hospital in Samal Island catering to poor people with a PHIC coverage. It took 10 minutes to remove the glass fragment to alleviate a poor woman's suffering.
medicine is a changing art. Controversies in management of diseases arise not immediately addressed by the medical world. I am posting this for you to know which side you are on and decide which way to take.

MAXIMUM TOLERANCE

NECROTIZING ENTEROCOLITIS
88 yr old with abdominal pain. I knew she needed surgery, an acute abdomen. But almost all odds were against her except her will to live longer. Her children wanted her to live longer too. If I decided not to operate, the cardiologist, anesthesiologist, pulmologist and the nephrologist ( yes she has kidney failure) would readily agree. But no, she really needed surgery and I had to stick my neck out and save her.
I thought she had ruptured appendicitis with the signs and symptoms she was manifesting. All diagnostics failed to make the right diagnosis. When I opened her abdomen, dark bloody ascites came out.
I am very happy to have pursued the surgery. She is well and alive today.
