    Vascular assessment

    Fresh out of podiatry school I also ran into this problem. It transpired the pre-op assessment was lacking when the patient had presented with classical signs of ischaemia. (the '6-p's)The phenolisation produced necrosis and patchy gangrene and the poor patient took morhpine for about 4 months before this settled ' satisfactorily'.

    There is also some pressure at times from GP's to operate on a compromised patient in this way and that HAS to be resisted.

    Is this what the authors have found here? I cannot access the full article.
