Is it really too late to amputate?
Lee's not showing any serious signs of infection yet (fever, sweating, trouble talking/moving) and the bite didn't seem too deep (IE, Jim getting bit all the way to the bone). Double checked the WD wiki and the people who have had amputations to prevent turning were Allen, Dale, and Morgan. It worked for Dale and Morgan, and Allen very likely died from blood loss due to the amputation.
While I really doubt Lee has any chance of coming out of this alive (and am perfectly content with it), has it been established anywhere how long it takes for a bite to travel from part of the body to the rest and if the severity of the bite has any influence in that?

it is too late to amputate, in the comic someone got his arm amputated and 2 minutes was too late, it spreads faster than snake venom!
Thanksgiving is around the corner, want to impressive your friends with the weight you lost? chop of a foot, and set that as your center piece, always a crowd-pleaser.
To much time on your shoulders? cut the shoulders off! with less shoulders you should have less time wasting and more time learning the pleasure of being cut with a saw, let the drunken nightmares haunt you for the rest of your days.
I'm really fine if Lee dies and I'm not at all upset about it lol. But who was it who got his arm amputated and it was too late? It's been a while since I read the comics and the Walking Dead wiki only led me to the 3 examples I gave (Allen was the only one who died from amputation and it was due to blood loss).
It is much easier to squeeze into those old skinny jeans if you only have one leg lol
How much are your services?
I would like to amputate my head, but I am worried... If I am not satisfied, might I get a refund?
The bite kills you because of blood loss and germ infection (rotting teeth into your bloodstream isn't exactly sanitary) so technically Lee can still chop it off.
But then he'd have to find a way to stop his new nub from bleeding out.
Of course we aim to please, if you don't feel satisfied with your amazing life changing surgery we will of course refund you, and give your entire family a free coupon to our services.
upon receiving coupon you agree to mandatory surgery, within 7 days.
Then again, Carley's brains got splattered all over the side of the road and people still thought she was alive. "Are you SURE, Lee really killed himself? He's only missing HALF of his head."
I'm fairly certain that Christa is pregnant, not bitten. As for the amputation I haven't read any of the comics, so I'm not sure on how that works in the series. I'd love to keep playing as Lee in S2, even if it is a one-handed Lee, but I don't think there is any chance of him surviving.
Amputation works if it happens IMMEDIATELY. Only one person survived an amputation in the comics that resulted from a bite, and they sawed off the dude's leg within MINUTES.
And Jim, a character bitten early on in the comics, got sick within a day. I think he held on for longer than Duck did, but he asked Rick's group to leave him and let him reanimate so he could "be with his family again". They walked away before he died.
Thanks for the clarification. I figured Lee was done for.:(
Look on the bright side dude.
Yes if you act now, I'll give you a two for one special! pay for one hand and get the other off!
Lee would probably believe that himself. Remember when he asked the police officer at the beginning if he was dead after blowing his head straight off with a shotgun?
Priceless.
Ok, let's clarify this please. Yes the bite itself does not spread the infection since it is inherently residing in all of us. However, the bite of a walker does cause that virus to react aggressively, killing you and turning you into a walker before death by natural causes would have.
The fact that Lee could amputate his arm and be ok is plausible, highly unlikely but worth a go if you wanted to do so in hopes of surviving. The one thing that has been shown that isn't the same is how fast people turn after being bitten (even the CDC guy from the TV show said it was all different if I remember correctly). I would be really pissed if I had my wrist/arm/leg hacked off and still turned in a few days.....really pissed.
Especially because, in the time it takes to recover from the full amputation of an entire limb, the walkie guy may very well have killed/tortured Clem.
Send me a private message, who got thier arm amputated and died?
she's probably pregnant, not bitten.
Heh, which is why I figured this would happen ages ago. lol
They were a little too clever when giving E-5 a title....
Okay, I'll stop.
All i could think of when i read hook was captain hook. I wonder then who would be peter pan. Maybe ben. He's pretty child-like. Clem is too intelligent and mature lol.
