For a friend of mine, maggots were the difference between losing his leg or keeping it, after it was crushed in an airplane accident. He walks with a slight limp now, but the leg works fine.
I also knew a man whose life was saved during the war because maggots ate the dying flesh where he was wounded. Sounds gross. I guess under controlled use they could be good to prevent gangrene and thus save a limb or a digit.
