She has a wound on her heel. We went to 2 hospitals. The first one which is one of the most known hospitals in Manila, advised that the wound will be scraped and somehow be burned for faster healing, but they didn't performed any tests yet. The 2nd hospital, however, recommended that her heel needs an x-ray. After the x-ray, they said that a part of the heel bone is infected so it needs to be cut off. My mom needs to be admitted there for 3weeks for laboratory tests so as to prepare for the amputation. Is there any way possible for that except for amputation? Thank you.
