Added DiffLines:

* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: While the description and depiction of gout is by and in large accurate, the condition does not typically lead to amputations. In that regard, what the episode is describing is more akin to diabetes, which ''can'' quite often lead to an amputation, and like gout is something that the heavily overweight can be vulnerable to.
