Ayaan Joshi, a 58-year-old retired schoolteacher...
Ayaan Joshi, a 58-year-old retired schoolteacher and avid gardener, developed a stubborn, painful ulcer on his right shin after a minor scrape from his rose bushes became infected. Despite diligent home care, the wound grew larger, with thick yellow slough and a foul odor, causing him significant pain and limiting his mobility. His general surgeon, Dr. Mehta, explained that the non-viable tissue was preventing healing and recommended a sharp debridement in the clinic to remove the dead material and stimulate new growth. During the procedure, Ayaan felt pressure and discomfort but local anesthesia managed the pain. He was relieved the foul smell was immediately gone. Over the next six weeks, with regular moist dressings, the clean wound bed began to granulate and contract significantly. Emotionally, Ayaan moved from frustration and worry about a permanent disability to immense relief and optimism, eagerly planning his return to the garden.
