Life Was Never Small

A testimony of survival, pain, healing, and the refusal to let life become small

The Story

This music video is part of my awareness campaign about foot wounds, delayed treatment, and preventable amputations. This is my story.

What started as a blister during a business trip in Denmark became a severe infection. After several medical visits, emergency consultations, and delayed proper wound testing, my condition became critical. At Herlev Hospital, doctors saved my life — and for that I am deeply grateful — but I also had to fight hard to keep my foot.

I was eventually medically evacuated to France, where the focus became healing. Today, I kept my foot. I can walk, run, cycle, and I have full function.

This is not only my story. It is a call for better wound care, earlier infection testing, faster specialist treatment, and more listening to patients before amputation becomes the final decision.

Life was never small.

Picture of Foot and Healing Process

Graphic Medical Content Warning

This section contains graphic images of a wound, including surgical wounds during the healing process.

The material is provided for educational purposes only. It is intended to show that even after coming close to death, a 55-year-old diabetic patient with five coronary stents, whom doctors considered approximately 70% likely to lose the foot, can still heal. Sometimes "all" that is needed is time and the refusal to give up.
