Show Notes
Jonothan Gerds, a 24-year-old with high-functioning autism, is trapped in a nightmare of unbearable pain from a rotting left hand infected with flesh-eating bacteria. The infection, caused by a hospital injection three years ago, has worsened despite treatments, leaving him desperate for amputation. Gerds and his mother have fought the public health system for answers, enduring delays, missed meals, and inadequate care. After private antibiotics slowed the necrosis, surgery was performed, but post-op complications have emerged, highlighting deep flaws in patient care.
