According to the Medical Director of the Grossman Burn Center at Research Medical Center, 70% of patients who were referred for frostbite injuries sustained during the harsh cold in January are now being encouraged to schedule amputations.
Many of those were Chiefs fans who attended the playoff game against the Miami Dolphins where it was negative four with a wind chill of negative 27 at kickoff.
30% lucky enough to avoid amputation after undergoing treatment the past few weeks in hyperbaric oxygen tanks.
