    Yes Lou, the healing in diabetic persons is always slow as they lack amino acids which are the building blocks of our tissue. In this case I kept patient on high protein diet, tight control of diabetes and this helped in timely healing.

    I Dr Dewan acknowledged the sensitivity of people towards the suffering of the patient and towards me, this is a serious disease and patient had come for surgery when in spite of medical treatment his disease worsened. The cutting, taking out of pus and irreparable tissue harbouring lethal infection are done with intention to cure and return the patient to health.

    I have watched a number of your videos, and I have always been impressed with your ethics, and demeanor. I think you are an excellent doctor, especially considering the types of conditions you have to operate in. Keep up the good work and videos.

    Thank you, yes these carbuncles need to be dealt with aggressively and taken out and this tissue that has become soaked with pus like a sponge will never heal and will keep spreading infection locally and endotoxins systemically.

    Actually I have stated feeling through my scissors and scalpel, the feel of different tissues helps me to choose the plain of dissection also I do not like the collateral damage to the tissue adjoining the plain of dissection by the heat of cautery and also the smoke of human flesh burnt by the cauetry. I have to use it for coagulation of vessels which do not stop, most of bleeding stops and there is less bleeding in fat and if we get proper plain of dissection
