Dad has four toes amputated after GP dismissed infection as athlete’s foot

A dad had four toes amputated after a serious infection was dismissed by his GP as athlete’s foot.

Michael Jones said he wasn’t referred to specialists despite visiting his doctor four times in just three weeks, complaining of a black rash, pins and needles and pain in his feet.

But when his little toe turned completely black, Michael said he was finally taken seriously – but it was too late to save his toes.
