An incident occurred in Britain in which a woman lost both her legs.
Blaming it all on her age, she neglected a serious illness that left her disabled.
The Mirror publication shared this information in its publication.
According to media reports, at first, 57-year-old Leicestershire resident Samantha Wiles experienced pain in only one foot.
She did not pay attention to this phenomenon, considering it simply a manifestation of old age.
However, the British woman soon felt much worse, and her toes turned dark. Then the woman turned to doctors.
As a result, it turned out that the patient suffered from a serious circulatory disorder. The processes occurring in her leg turned out to be irreversible, and doctors had to amputate the woman's foot.
However, two years later the disease made itself known again and returned, spreading to the woman's other leg. Doctors had no choice but to remove the 57-year-old patient's other leg.
