John said seeking help on Facebook was the best decision he has ever made.
A dad-of-two’s leg was saved from amputation just in time for Christmas after he turned to social media for help.
Earlier this year, he was told by doctors that temporary fixes had not worked and he would eventually be forced to have his leg removed. This involved guiding catheters and wires along the body’s blood vessels, helping unblock arteries so blood could flow back into the limbs. John – who was able to go home the same day of the operation – has said that looking on Facebook for help is the ‘best decision he’s ever made’.He said: ‘I’m so glad I decided to get a second opinion. I’d been living in pain for several years because my lower right leg was starved of oxygen and dying.’
