Citing health issues, Jason Chaffetz takes immediate leave from Congress

120. Slightly off topic, but to share a weird thing I learned about injuries..

Mr. Dixie has a long time damaged foot, and occasionally he will develop a sore on it, usually near the skin graft area.
So in Dec. he got a sore, which is what he calls, actually it was an ulcer, but it did not heal from his usual treatment.
I happened to mention it to my surgeon, who promptly called Mr. dixie into the room and looked at his foot.
He ordered a biopsy, because, he said, sometimes unhealed ulcers develop a non-invasive cancer, and he thought the ulcer looked suspicious, esp. since it had not healed like it should.
so..did the biopsy, no cancer, but worth it for peace of mind.
Had no clue about ulcer cancer, but do trust this doc.

It is actually within realm of possibility that all that hardware in the x-rays might could develop a skin issue, where the foot meets hard shoe/ground.
but, in Chaffetz case, he has ZERO credibility, so who knows?
