I was looking at this story of Nick Cordero who died of "covid" after he had his leg amputated by the hospital because :
www.cnn.com
Saturday was day 18 of him being sedated in the intensive care unit, Kloots told her social media followers. While hospitalized, he started having clotting issues on his right leg, and could not get blood down to his toes. The blood thinners he got to fix the clotting issues were affecting his blood pressure and causing internal bleeding in his intestines, Kloots said.
Broadway star Nick Cordero had his leg amputated due to coronavirus complications | CNN
Broadway star Nick Cordero is recovering at a hospital in Los Angeles, where he lives with his family while performing in "Rock of Ages."
"They had him on blood thinners for the clotting, unfortunately the blood thinners were causing other issues," she said Saturday. "The right leg will be amputated today."
... He died from "covid" shortly after they chopped off his leg - crazy stuff
Broadway veteran Nick Cordero dies from virus complications
NEW YORK (AP) — Tony Award-nominated actor Nick Cordero, who specialized in playing tough guys on Broadway in such shows as “Waitress,” “A Bronx Tale” and “Bullets Over Broadway,” has died in Los Angeles after suffering severe medical complications after contracting the coronavirus...

I remember this guy I used to work with also had his leg amputated by a hospital for "clotting" - he used to smoke cigarettes a lot and he told me the hospital told him it was because of all his smoking that he needed the leg amputated - he looked in very bad shape after the operation was done - I suspect the amputation of a limb has serious damage on the body as a whole - I felt very bad seeing him in this shape - would this be just because Nicotine is vasoconstrictive and the easiest solution is to vasodilate the blood and stop smoking ?
Factors affecting lifespan following below-knee amputation in diabetic patients
Untreatable foot problems in diabetics may require lower extremity amputation, which has a high level of patient mortality. This high mortality rate is worse than most malignancies. The present study aimed to identify parameters that can be used to estimate ...
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
"Mortality following amputation ranges from 13 to 40% in 1 year, 35–65% in 3 years, and 39–80% in 5 years, being worse than most malignancies. 7 Therefore, amputation-free survival is important in assessing the management of diabetic foot problems"
If one directly compares these rates, it superficially appears that major amputation does hasten death. It even seems that the more proximal the amputation, the higher the mortality.3–10 However, the aforementioned data were not part of a randomized trial, and for ethical reasons, there will likely never be a randomized trial. These were observational studies, meaning the burden of disease (diabetes and its associated comorbid conditions) was also likely to be higher in these patients. "
It seems like when the blood thinners aren't performing well enough the hospital's decision is to chop off the limb ? Sounds crazy and barbaric to me especially since they seem to know the affect it has on one's lifespan after the operation
I know that healthy circulation is a good sign of metabolic health and that Carbon Dioxide helps with vasodilation - wouldn't a simpler solution for the Hospital to solve blood clotting issues just be to give the patient carbon dioxide and allow them to walk around the hospital throughout the day
I remember the only time I was ever in a hospital bed was when I was 7 for an asthma attack - I recall my circulation in my legs was very poor after staying in the bed for 7 days and it felt great to walk again - the hospital never let me walk around unless it was to go to the bathroom because I had the IV in my arm and stuff
Wouldn't forcing patients to sit in a bed 24/7 be in a way causing this blood flow problem in the extremities and make these blood clots worse ? It seems like the simplest solution to a patient would be to offer Carbon Dioxide and allow them to stretch their legs rather than chopping off their limbs - it seems like even the hospital is the one creating this problem in the first place ...
THE BAD SIDE OF BED REST HORIZONTAL CAN BE HORRIBLE FOR YOUR BODY IF YOU STAY THAT WAY TOO LONG.

"When you are sick, doctors often advise getting plenty of bed rest and taking lots of fluids. But there are reasons that prolonged bed rest is not so good for you. Prolonged bed rest affects the amount of fluid in your body and the pressure at which blood is pumped, making it difficult for the body to adapt to activity again. It causes changes in the size of the heart, too, and the body's ability to replenish blood."
