In this episode, Kevin Lamb talks to Dr Desmond Bell, a podiatrist who specializes in wound management and lower-extremity preservation, and founder and president of “The Save A Leg, Save A Life” foundation. In this in-depth conversation, Desmond recalls how he recognised early on in his career that proper management of chronic wounds, especially on the lower extremities, is lacking in the United States; stresses the need for improvement in chronic wound care, not only to create awareness but also to call for action; and discusses the extent to which patients should be responsible for their own care.
