From
a friend of a patient:
Today I write you from the first person; from my own
personal story and experience.
A short while ago I was with my cousin who is among
my dearest friends. I grew up just three doors down
from him and his brothers, the eldest of which is Ken,
who had been hospitalized battling severe diabetes and
a wound that wouldn’t heal. I was with Ken’s brother
when he took a call from their father, my uncle, who
was at the hospital.
Through the mobile phone I could hear my uncle in tears,
telling my cousin that they wanted to take Ken’s leg;
that amputation looked to be the only cure for a diabetic
wound that wouldn’t heal. “Don’t let them take his foot,
son,” my elderly uncle told my cousin, imploring him
to plead with the doctors to try something else.
When I spoke to Phillip Loori, President of Advanced
Healthcare Technologies, Inc. the first time, he told
me about his company’s use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
to treat diabetic wounds that wouldn’t heal. I told
him about Ken’s plight and he kindly offered to do whatever
he could to help.
I hung up the phone, called my cousin and said that
this CEO had told me about a therapy that could save
Ken’s limb. I told him about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
and what it was designed to do, how it might be perfect
for Ken. He interrupted me and said, “He’s fine now.
That’s what saved his foot. They didn’t have to amputate.”
It’s one thing to hear about FDA approvals and clinical
trials. It’s another to know that the technology that
our featured company today is based upon is the reason
your loved one still can walk.
