How much to lose your legs??

[GRex]

I'll set the YABU/ YANBU rate to £10m. YABU still keeping them, they're mine. YANBU already picking out wheelchairs.

Assuming there is truth to this - WTF??? Even rolling myself up to £50m I'm in visceral horror. The money is only useful in my opinion if you can cycle, run, climb steps to change a lightbulb, play football with your kids, and feel your legs there anytime you want.

So do you have a limit?

I’m quoting this as I’ve just read the article and it is fascinating. Long but worth your time to read it.

He needed his legs to be amputated, the case relates to fraud as he claimed the sepsis was caused by something else, as this would lead to a greater payout.

He did not have healthy legs amputated!

But I dont get why he needed to pay to see someone else amputate limbs when he literally did it himself for his job?

I would probably accept a few million to maybe lose half of one leg. For the sake of my child's financial security in the future.

But anyway, for this guy it sounds like he didn't get rid of his legs for the money, he was into getting rid of them for his own reasons (maybe a fetish) regardless, and thought he might as well try and get a payout for it while he's at it. It's pretty wild that he managed to do so much damage to his healthy legs it convinced a surgeon to remove them due to 'sepsis'. I don't think this chap is very mentally well.

There's a whole community out there of people into this, having it done to them and watching it be done to others. One subsection is men that call themselves 'nullos', they have a fetish for having their genitals removed and there being nothing there. It doesn't appeal to me in any way I can say! But it's clearly not a one off abberration, it's a thing.

Probably didn't get off removing gangrenous limbs from elderly patients not of his preferred gender? Some people into this really have specific desires, like seeing a healthy young man have his penis removed. Stuff like that.

As per the report the implication is that the injuries to his legs were “self inflicted”. So he started out with healthy legs.

He probably couldn’t fap himself silly whilst at work in the middle of performing surgery

Nah little finger is the anchor to your grip strength. Try to make a fist leaving your little finger out and see how weak it is.
Lose your ring or middle finger instead.

Sounds like he paid for videos so that is 'encouraging' the perpetrator with payment.

I agree, I watched an interview and the main things he mentioned over an over again was the care and attention.

This guy has direct links with Gustavson and the eunuch crowd.One of the charges is about that. You may want to take it up with the WPATH - the most authoritative body with trans medicine why they included chapters on eunuch care in their guidance. The eunuch and null movements are definite subsets of the trans movement. Gustavson did what he did for sexual kinks and money. Take your BIID and stuff it.

Fascinating, thanks for adding this. It is interesting to read about the body dysmorphia links, and the distinction between types of people. The guy who had his porn fetish cured by prozac was also interesting; I wonder if medication has been fully trialled for the paraphilias.

He has an amputation fetish, which ended up with him having his own healthy legs amputated. Dunno who did the amputations though.

This is going to be a gruesome case for jurors…

That was my first thought. How many patients have had limbs needlessly amputated by this monster?

The trust investigated and said none. From their investigations it appears his personal proclivity for this fetish had no impact on clinical care/patients.

Go in with an ingrown toenail, come out with a prosthetic leg.

Gah.

To paraphrase Christine Keeler,

“Well, they would say that, wouldn’t they?”

The hospital trust are saying he's not done anything unprofessional toward patients...

Course they are. Hospitals have never been known to cover up malpractice.

Exactly this. Creepy as fuck!

I used to be unbothered by having male medics, but having learned over the years just how many males are fetishists of one type or another, I now opt for female medics whenever possible.

I’d flog my legs for £10m but not sure I’d give up arms for even £100m.

Has anyone else read this, there are women that have had it done too: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2000/12/a-new-way-to-be-mad/304671/ Not saying it's in the same vein as a vascular surgeon having the condition.

Yes and when interviewed on ‘Good Morning’ he said life had ‘become more interesting’ since he’d had his legs amputated.

But, according to the news on radio 4 he deliberately infected his legs to cause the sepsis

I will confess to being surprised that there are women who do this too. It’s usually a male thing.

I was wondering that. It doesn't make sense.
