An Unfortunate Story about Vibrio Vulnificus Bacterial Infection

In this video, I'm sharing an unfortunate Vibrio vulnificus bacterial infection amputation story. This story is important to share because it shows the importance of being aware of the health risks associated with Vibrio vulnificus infection. This is an important reminder about vibrio infections.

I've been a board-certified internal medicine physician (medical doctor) for over 35 years. I've been a healthcare plan medical director, a medical consultant for California's Medicaid program, and an attending physician. My videos discuss topics about medicine and the U.S. healthcare system in a way that most people can understand. Medicine and the healthcare system affect all of us and those we love at one time or another, so the more we know about the healthcare system, the better!
