Here is the man- John Gardener

The 40-year-old man couldn't stop nail-biting even after doctor's restriction. This habit led him to septic infection which was quite severe and led to heart attack.

It's a dangerous

Doctors say that he bit his fingers until they bled. Because of the habit, his fingers were almost damaged and it can be known from the fact that they became numb of the pain when he used to inflicate on them.


Fingers in poor condition

The physicians told he used to bite the nails until the fingers started to bleed. The continuous damage numbed them so the pain would no longer stop him from biting.

Anxiety and depressions are the cause

His doctor, Dr. Vernon, said, “John’s nails were always in poor condition, and they were often bleeding when he came to the doctors.” He also explained that his habit was fueled by constant anxiety and went worse after he got depressed.


Septic Infection

Initially, just a bit of bleeding ended up worsening, but one of those bound infected him with septic infection. Even IV antibiotics couldn't help him so the finger tips were amputated. He felt good for sometime after one part of his was removed but that didn't last for long. According to his surgeon, Dr. Chye Ng, just days after Gardener’s 40th birthday, he had a heart attack from the septic infection!

This was really not expected

Obviously for his family and the medical team, it was an unexpected tragedy. “It’s really hit our family hard, there could’ve been more done to help him. I wouldn’t want this to happen to anyone else’s son — it’s just devastating,” said Jean Gardener, his mother.
