Show notes

In this Halloween edition of Diabetic Foot Files, Dr. G blends vampire lore with wound-care science to show how blood can signal healing—not horror. The episode covers the history linking myths to medicine, the stages of hemostasis, and why controlled bleeding during debridement often means viable tissue and good perfusion. Practical tips include debridement methods, when to seek vascular clearance, managing anticoagulants and bleeding disorders, moisture balance, offloading strategies, and therapies like hyperbaric oxygen. A quick Q&A reinforces key takeaways for clinicians and patients.
