SunnyBeBe March 25, 2021 Share March 25, 2021 Did anyone watch? I saw at the end that the episode was dedicated to the loving memory of Michelle Caputto....wasn’t that the lady who had surgery on both feet? I wonder what happened. 1 Link to comment

We looked for more info last night but could only find a gofundme page for her cremation expenses. Sounded like it was sudden, but no details. Link to comment
sempervivum March 25, 2021 Share March 25, 2021 That woman was only 54! She looked a lot older, but certainly not at death's door, poor thing. On a happier note, the guy with Dupuytren's contracture at least came out of Dr. Ebonie's OR with all his toes still attached. 2 Link to comment
SunnyBeBe March 27, 2021 Share March 27, 2021 Covid would make sense. How tragic. There were so many activities she was looking forward to resuming. 3 Link to comment
Just Carol April 2, 2021 Share April 2, 2021 The woman with the callouses. Why was she crying when Dr. E cut the dead skin? It is hard to believe that people can let their feet go like this. She was heavy, but I don't think so heavy that she could not examine her feet and go for a plain old callous removal at a pedicure. Link to comment
SunnyBeBe April 2, 2021 Share April 2, 2021 (edited) I suppose that they have some sort of sensation when thick calluses are removed. I’ve heard the doctors say that it might be uncomfortable, but it’s difficult to imagine since it’s dead skin. Also, they have described a genetic condition in which people develop very think skin to the point it’s hard like a shell. Maybe, they don’t know how to exfoliate and moisturize. It is amazing how severe some of these cases are. I wonder if there are some mental health issues involved as well. Edited April 2, 2021 by SunnyBeBe Link to comment
