| Many of you have asked me for my opinion as the Chief Orthopedic Surgeon at Grabsmack Hospital and Ambassador of the Grabsmack Prosthetics Manufacturers Association on recently released video. This so-called investigative piece claims that in recent years, our department has seen a surge in infections caused by flesh-eating bacteria, and that these cases almost always result in leg amputations.
I won’t comment on the style of the video. They clearly tried very hard to make it simple, clear, and effective, yet it still reads like the video version of one of those sensationalist, “fact-finding”, mouth-watering articles.
Now, the problem is that for a video to be truly impactful, it needs a human element—someone the audience can connect with. This one? Lacking.
Or more precisely—if there was a human thread to this story, it would be the Streptococcus pyogenes. That’s who you’d have to identify with to some extent. A flesh-eating bacterium that, let’s be honest, is responsible for most limb infections but doesn’t really get much credit for its contributions. After all, it helps underprivileged individuals acquire high-quality prosthetic limbs—prosthetics they would have never been able to afford on their own.
The video doesn’t contain any new information—it merely stitches together things we already know. I acknowledge the spread of flesh-eating bacteria, of course, and I watched the video while paying attention to my own internal compass. That’s why I fully join my esteemed colleague and deputy, Dr. Otto Bamboo, in his response to the critics:
“I understand, but these infections—tragic as they may be—are well-documented, still we have been running the orthopedic department at Grabsmack Hospital for many years.”
Throughout history, Streptococcus pyogenes has thrived. It continues to thrive—yesterday, today, and undoubtedly tomorrow. Just look around the world—it’s everywhere! And everywhere, it causes problems! That’s just what it does.
Flesh-eating bacteria (although it’s not clear if it’s really a flesh-eating bacteria that can be spread according to protocol) bothers people only when they feel it on their own skin.
That said, I would be genuinely interested to know: exactly how much damage was done to the people who have been infected and then had to have their legs cut off because of it? Would the amputees have run a marathon had it not happened? Or would they have never run a marathon anyway? We simply cannot know. Fate is fickle and unpredictable.
Naturally, there is a level at which people get upset — I don’t deny that.
However, I would love to hear from these so-called investigative filmmakers, these self-proclaimed experts in healthcare policy: how exactly would they run an orthopedic department? How would they fight against Streptococcus pyogenes and reduce amputations? Because they don’t say a word about that. I’m very curious.
