Dr. Krausher was the one who amputated my left lower leg after 7 months of trying to save it with various treatments to eliminate the bacteria that was infecting it. I am a nurse practitioner so I was well aware that we were trying the impossible. But he did a marvelous job with the amputation, and I am currently 81 years old. So he quickly went over the systems that doing a carotid endardectomy was not necessary at this time. This opened up a chance to get my cataract surgery done.
