An NHS vascular surgeon who had his own legs removed has been jailed for two years and eight months for insurance fraud and possessing extreme pornography.

That's actually way worse than what the headline sounds like

He "enjoyed" the interest from the media in his case, Mr Lee told the court.
"His motivations were a combination of obsession with removing parts of his own body and a sexual interest in doing so," he said.
"It seems to have been a long-standing ambition of his," he said.

Is that basically the opposite of a foot fetishist?

no, that's not the opposite of a foot fetishist. that would be someone who gets turned off by feet, not by removing them.
