Posted on 07 June 2024 | 764 views | 3 commentsThe 37-year-old told Shin Min Daily News she had felt unwell and did not get better even after seeing the doctor.

"I watched my hands and feet turn black, become heavy, and could not be controlled. The doctor said the cells had died and the bacterial infection had caused sepsis, so amputation was necessary to save my life."Ms Lin used up all $300,000 in her savings for medical expenses and needs more than $15,000 for prosthetic legs and another $14,000 or so for prosthetic hands.
