Maggots instead of amputation

Dr. Fleischmann at visite

Two years ago Martin Kiefert suffered a skiing accident. It was basically a typical case: Rupture of the cruciate ligament; surgery; three days in the hospital; rehabilitation. It should have been healed in a month. But during his hospital stay Kiefert became infected with an antibiotic resistant strain of bacteria and in less than a day he became disabled. It was clear that his lower right leg had to be amputated. But then Martin heard about Dr. Fleischman and his fight for the use of fly maggots to heal treatment-resistant wounds.

The small bags of maggots were applied directly to Martin's wound.Three days later, the wound was opened, a fresh set of maggots was inserted and Martin was able to go home. As soon as the therapy begins, most patients can be handled as outpatients, which saves greatly on costs.
After four months of medical maggot treatment, there were no more signs of infection in Martin's wound. The maggots had cleaned the wound and started the healing process. There was no more talk of amputation.
