Dr. Jacoby:
And finally, we came to the conclusion that we needed to do something otherwise she was going to lose her leg. We did her one leg, and a year later we did her other leg and she is doing fabulous. That’s very gratifying.
Well it not only makes me feel gratified that I was able to help somebody but it makes me feel that if you think outside of the box a little bit you can intervene on these very difficult cases and make a difference, not only professionally, but personally. It brings some energy to the practice. We are not doing the same old things, we are doing great things and we are going to do better things in the future.
