It's fun pulling off an older persons sock and finding gangrene/open wound full of maggots.........

Everyone should have the experience.................

Yeah, I've always read it as an emergency technique to get rid of rotting flesh if you can't get to decent medical care.

Some places still use them as part of the treatment regimen.

Getting a bank serviced and see a crazy hobo having a shouting session with himself and hitting his hand; yelling at his hand. He stayed about 70 yards away the whole time. Oh boy I thought.

The dry, black gangrene that just breaks off isn't bad. The wet that drains the stuff that looks like vanilla pudding can get funky. The green drainage has its own special aroma.

Had a habitual car burglar we all knew get arrested for related warrants by the evening shift. He went by the hospital first because he had surgery on his feet to remove toes on both feet iirc, well that was a month ago and he likely hadn't removed his shoes since then and his feet were rotting away. The evening shift had to go in, so I had to go wait with him. He ended up being magistrated in the hospital since he was going to be there a few days. I sat in the hall where I could see him while I waited for the slow wheels of justice to turn, but even out there the stench was powerful.

I assume both feet were amputated at a minimum. I don't know if he lived or died, but I haven't seen the guy since and I was running into him monthly before...
