More detail for those interested in the Tucson patient who had trouble finding care for her leg wound


There's an article in the Arizona Daily Star (click here) which goes into more detail on the events surrounding the patient in the MSNBC story I referred to in my last post, who could not find a Plastic Surgeon in the city of Tucson (pop. 946,362+) to take care of her leg injury.

The patient in this instance, Mary Jo McClure chronicled her experience with this episode on the web by starting a website "My Severe Wound.com". You can actually see photos of the wound during her treatment which required two surgeries to treat.
