“You’re k*lling people when you cut their legs off because you think it’s cheaper.”
In the latest Life of Flow episode, Dr. Eric Dippel shares an emotional story of a patient who fought for years to keep his leg, returning again and again for procedures that kept blood flowing to his foot.
Eventually, insurance denied further care. He was sent to the VA, where his leg was amputated. Within a year, he was gone.
This episode is about the devastating consequences of health systems that prioritize cost over care, and why saving legs is truly saving lives.
