Meet the man who paid £64,000 to have his leg cut off | SWNS TV

A 20-year-old man plagued with leg pain due to a rare condition paid £64,000 to have it amputated - after being inspired by a dog on TV's The Supervet. James Bertrand has lived with constant pain due to blood clots caused by a condition he was diagnosed with in the womb. He was given a ray of hope by an episode of Supervet in which a dog had a prosthetic limb fused directly into the bone of its amputated leg. Tormented by pain - and having exhausted all the surgery options in the UK - he asked doctors for the same operation.
