My husband was sent to hospital with an ulcerated foot. The surgeon cleaned out the dead skin and left an open wound, with no stitches etc. He was left to bleed profusely for 5 days during which time his body defences were decimated leaving him unable to fight off the hospital pneumonia that eventually killed him. Why did the doctor leave him to bleed so much? Is this normal practice? Thanks :-((
