Join Dr. Vinod Kumar from Heart Vascular & Leg Center and guest Greg Morris live on Friday, March 8 at 12:30 p.m.
This month, we’ll be addressing Lower Extremity Wounds and their High Risk for Amputations.
We’ll talk about:
- What are lower extremity wounds and who is at risk?
- Why can leg and foot wounds be more dangerous than a cut on other areas of the body?
- What are the risks for diabetic patients with lower extremity wounds if they don’t seek treatment?
- What can be done to help a diabetic or smoker that has a wound that is not healing?
…and more! We’ll also be answering questions from viewers.
Submit your questions ahead of time by emailing us at social@kget.com.
We will try to answer as many questions as possible.
