Wow, this is really scary! This young lady from Wenzhou, Sichuan in China recently had to have her leg amputated after she attended weddings for two days straight and felt unwell. OMG!
According to ET Today, 24-year-old Min Wenqing had been the bridesmaid for the wedding ceremonies and on the second day, she felt ill, like she had caught a cold. She only thought that she was tired from the festivities and felt unwell due to insufficient rest.

However, on the second day of the wedding ceremony, her family members found her in a state of shock on her bed for more than 10 minutes. No, not emotional shock! She visited one of the doctors in her village but she was just given medicine for her cold as there were no other noticeable symptoms.
Her condition worsened the next day even after she took the medicine and this time, Min experienced severe vomiting. Worried, her family sent her to a nearby hospital for treatment where the doctors there diagnosed her with nine medical conditions, which include fulminant myocarditis, sepsis, intestinal infection and multiple organ dysfunction. That sounds really serious!

Not only that, Min suddenly went into cardiac arrest for 15 minutes at the hospital and the medical staff scrambled to save her life. Thankfully, they managed to revive her and saved her life but yet, her condition continued to deteriorate.
She was then transferred to another hospital for further treatment and the doctors there discovered that she had contracted a severe infection on her right leg. The bacteria from the infection had entered through ischemic necrosis on her right lower limbs and put her life in danger.

After careful consultation, the doctors decided to amputate her right calf so that they could save her life and the operation was subsequently carried out. Currently, her condition has stabilised and no other new infections have occurred. It was not mentioned how she got the infection in the first place.
Hopefully she gets well soon!
