Good G*d! It worked!

My mother just called in absolute hysterics about being asked to sign a consent form to take off her leg below the knee.

I managed to calm her down considerably by reminding her how much her doctor has fought in the past to save her toes. If he fights so hard to save her toes, wouldn't he fight that much harder to save her leg? And only take it as a very last resort?

And she listened! She calmed down considerably and is considering signing it. She wants to write in "only as a last resort" but I told her that even if the hospital doesn't allow that that the main thing was that she trust her doctor.

Wow.

I'm stunned.
