| description | In spite of being a specialist diabetic foot surgeon, I often find diabetic foot to be a disaster to patient and his family. Once he develops diabetic foot complications, then he is often faced with risk of amputation, be it major or minor. He ends up in a vicious cycle of recurrences and readmissions and all these turns out being expensive to patient adding financial burden.

Most of these issues keep occurring and recurring in a diabetic foot patient. This article highlights on some of the factors as to why I hate diabetic foot despite being a specialist of this field.
