and this is what i got...
In Calcutta, India. A boy was pinned between two vehicles and his leg is badly injured. Here is a photo of his leg a few days later.
His leg was stitched at the government hospital, under dire conditions. He has no broken bones. He has no feeling around or below the wound (right calf, extending behind knee). There is obviously nerve damage, but I have no idea how extensive. His right foot seemed cold the first night but blood flow seems to have returned. He told me he can move/extend his right leg at the knew but it is extremely painful. He is very thin and his leg is somewhat swollen. Around the wound his skin is warmer.
Advice so far:
*try squeezing a toenail, it should blanche and then return to normal
*make sure he can move his foot
*Pus, if it is a white/thick substance is obviously a sign of infection and he needs stronger antibiotics. However, if it's blood and a more-or-less clear/yellowy liquid, that's normal as part of the healing process.
*the abrasion on the left of the photo should have a different bandage than the rest of the wound, and should be kept moist

It really does not look like this will have a good outcome. It already looks like gas gangrene is setting in, along with the "the standard type" of gangrene that can and will set-in, if everything was not completely cleaned from the initial wound site. It does look like an amputation is in this persons near future, or death, if not acted upon quickly enough
