A Sad Story and my worst nightmare

I bought a ticket for a BBQ last night. The event is to raise money for some poor woman who recently lost a leg to a flesh-eating virus. She had broken her ankle and the doctor had cast it. A few days or weeks after the cast was applied, she started having pain in the ankle area. She went to the emergency room where they had applied the cast and sat for almost 8 hours without getting to see a doctor. Finally, she went to another hospital, where she was seen soon after arriving and they removed her cast. What they found was a leg damaged so badly by the virus, that they amputated her leg. I can't imagine losing a limb under these kinds of circumstances. Last year a woman died from a virus of this kind after she scratched her leg while riding a jet ski. Another woman entered the hospital to have a baby and became a quadruple amputee, when they removed both legs above the knee and both arms just below the elbow.
