Working Prosthetic Miracles Sep 02, 2019

Show notes

Army veteran, and IED survivor, Bryant Jacobs takes us to the moments before a bomb changed his life forever. Jacobs shares his struggle to return to normalcy after the Iraq war, and of the harrowing decision to amputate his leg.

However, his story doesn’t end there. In 2015, Jacobs and another Veteran became the first two patients in the U.S. to undergo an experimental procedure, one that could help them — and America’s nearly 2 million amputees — take the literal steps toward a better life.

Today we check in with Jacobs to see how he’s progressing and speak with Dr. Sarina Sinclair, the prosthetic research scientist at the Salt Lake City VA who helped pioneer this extraordinary procedure.

Celebrating Vietnam Veterans Mar 18, 2019

Show notes

VA commemorates the Vietnam War 50 years later. Our service men and women did not receive the homecoming they so richly deserved, but years later VA is trying to make up for that through comprehensive benefits, healthcare and compassion. Many of these Veterans are coming to us for the very first time some 40 years later. It is heartbreaking to relive but necessary to learn from and move forward.
