This foot is his first meal. After this major turning point, Richard shows signs of mental instability caused by starvation, isolation, and drug abuse. In a savage attempt to keep living, he cuts off and eats his entire lower body and even his hand which he had originally protected with all his might because of his determination to go back and continue his work as a surgeon. This shows the internal want he has to stay alive.
