I'm not grossed out by much. Her toughness was put to the test. Soon after tough submitted *** 60 year old man with *** bed sore on his backside. It was badly infected. He had repeated surgeries to try to clean out the wound, which made it larger each time, drugs weren't working either out of the 14 antibiotics available. The bacteria in his tissue was resistant to 12. That left two drugs with the same scary side effect kidney damage. So ended up on dialysis. He just was not getting better. He was getting worse. Doctors told the patient they were running out of options. The surgeries to remove his infection had left *** gaping hole about 17 cm long and nearly eight cm deep. Finally got to *** point where we couldn't make it any bigger. It was about the size of *** gallon of milk. The patient was referred to hospice, but he told Baxter he didn't want to die. That's when she suggested *** last ditch treatment. They come in this little vial with encouragement from the dying patient and approval from hospital administrators, Baxter and her team deployed 3000 Maggots purchased through *** medical supply company into the wound. I understand that it's difficult for others to see, but for us this is amazing. Just like in nature. The tiny bugs feed only on dead tissue leaving live tissue behind. The eating process also produces unique enzymes, which Baxter believes killed the stubborn bacteria. That drugs could not. So once the bacteria was gone, we were able to stop his antibiotics, which means we're then able to stop his dialysis. So he was starting to feel better within days today. That patient Larry way is alive and moving. So this is where I'm at in my therapy. He's also amazed just like many people that he said yes to Maggot therapy. Well, what could I say? I was the one who pushed them into finding another solution. So I can't say no. So the fact that they were thrilled with progress meant whatever they were seeing, it's going away, I'm getting better. How do you feel after hearing that? That was probably about the happiest time I had in the hospital, Baxter and her team feel the same. This is *** lot of science. *** little bit of luck and *** patient who wanted to heal you might be wondering can *** patient feel the maggots at work? Well, Larry says yes, he could feel them. But since the tissue is dead, there's no pain. Larry says he has no regrets and is now focused on his new chapter and continued recovery. In the newsroom.
