Thank you to our guest lecturer, Meredith McKelvy, and her patient, Steve, for teaching us about amputations in our Physical Rehabilitation course. Learning from firsthand experiences helps students better understand the perspective of someone living with double amputations. We appreciate your openness in sharing your journey and educating us on the process, challenges, and realities of amputations and prosthetics.
