SF author Peter Watts, the writer of Blindsight and the new Crysis 2 novel, has posted at length about his brush with necrotizing fasciitis, a disease which literally eats flesh and resulted in his leg being stripped down to the muscle.
Watts talks about his experience here, complete with some fairly stomach-churning photos, but fascinating insights into the disease and its treatment. Best wishes to Peter for a speedy recovery.
EDIT: I'll reiterate these photos are pretty gruesome right from the start, to the point that he drops in a calming photo of his cat at the halfway point to break up the grimness.
