EL PASO PUBLIC FORUM NEW EPISODE ALERT! Segment 2: Limb Savers Society-Helping prevent unnecessary amputations....with PUPPIES? . In the U.S. there are over 150,000 amputations done annually. 75% of those cases never had a basic workup done to possibly avoid a major amputation. Not only that, but patients also who have had an amputation have a 25% mortality rate within a year, and a 60% mortality rate within 3 years. Those are higher rates of mortality when compared to certain breast and colon cancers! . 🎙️ Amber Banda talks Dr. Laiq Raja, Interventional Cardiovascular Physician and Founder and Program Director for the Limb Savers Society, as well as Alejandra Gutierrez, Research Coordinator for the Limb Savers Society.
