Doug Roberts’ lost his left leg to a flesh-eating bacterial infection in June 2023
SAN ANTONIO – Doug Roberts lost his left leg a year ago, but it could have been worse.
It could have been his life.
The San Antonio pastor’s leg was amputated in June 2023 as the result of a flesh-eating bacterial infection he believes he acquired during a visit to a theme park.
He then spent more than two months at Methodist Hospital’s Stone Oak Rehabilitation Center, doing physical therapy three times a day.
On Friday, Roberts came back to visit the staff who helped him adjust to his new way of life.
You can watch the reunion in the attached video.
