"in this case there was no medical reason for the amputations".
This is perhaps one of the most basic question that serves as a barrier to transabled individuals being able to receive much needed appropriate medical treatment (surgery)
"The 2 patients who requested and received amputations performed by Dr. Smith have coived great satisfaction and relief that now they feel complete without 4 limbs".
They are happy. This is important to note. Why hasn't there been actual case studies done with these individuals?
