Kimberlie — we have several advocates in this area. You can find three of them by searching the GNA site by doing a problem/condition search for tourism or for «medical tourism» in quotes. I believe we have at least 2 more, but sadly their profiles don't have these keywords, and i can't recall what they might say. (Which is why we push so hard about keywords now, in onboarding!)

Lynn your post provided me additional insight that I will use to continue to support a patient with an AKA, very minimal stump, who thus far has been unable to wear a prosthesis. Than you for posting your heartfelt story!

Thank you for sharing. I appreciate your truth that «progress is rarely linear». That is a core reality, that once embraced, patients will heal more fully.

Thank you for sharing this, Lynn! Your story perfectly explains the fear, patience, and resilience that so many amputees feel but struggle to put into words. Love your work!

Lynn,
This content is amazing — easy to consume, makes so much sense, so helpful.

Also — it makes huge sense to me. As a rare genetics patient with extreme hypermobility in my feet (among other joints) — we have had to do a lot of work to protect the «not bad foot» while having to rehab the «bad» side.

Thank you again for sharing such great information.
