man chews off drunk woman's cameltoe, saves her life

That dog's sense of smell would be a valuable tool for podiatrists.

also for retarded people who are too stupid to realize they have diabeetus.

and their wives who are nurses. (that really makes me confident in medical professionals)

Most people that have diabetes don't realize they have it. It's not like one day you're good, and the next you're Wilford Brimley.

well yeah, but i'm pretty sure i would recognize a toe so infected it had to be amputated.

unless i was a drunk.

Well I'm not arguing that. If you lose feeling and have an obvious infection in your extremities you should go see the doctor. A lot of diabetes patients don't see podiatrists soon enough, and end up getting amputations that could have been prevented. Close to 40% of all patients seen by podiatrists are diabetics fwiw.

If you're a type 2 diabetic and you don't regularly check your feet you can ignore most symptoms that would usually be indicated by pain because you're losing sensation in your feet as a side effect from the disease. The guy was obviously in denial about being a diabetic and probably was 100% ignorant of the symptoms and conditions you're at risk for as a type 2 diabetic. He was probably ignoring his wife's feedback about his symptoms for years (they can present very slowly in type 2 diabetics).
