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.

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.
