My dad had stage III advance to Stage IV with sepsis, staph and MRSA. After he had a debrivement, the bedsores still advanced. With all the trials of antibiotics, he started to smell like a dead animal. His ears, his ankles, his whole body seemed to rot away and he loss 40 lbs. now only weighing 128 lbs. at 5'11" tall. He was in a nursing home when all this started. Even bedsores on the bottom of his feet. He was so tall in his wheel chair, his feet sat flat on the floor. Once my dad was diagnosed with Sepsis and MRSA to the point of debrievement. Does he have any chance of survival? I've been researching on this web site I think the answere is no.

Working in a remote area clinic in a third world country, I often come across patients with gangrene. One in particular recently had an amputation of his toes. Now, only a month after the operation he has gangrene up to his knee on the same leg. He has not yet been tested for HIV but my feeling is that he could be positive. Thank you.
