It provides a means for individuals to feel differently about their amputation and their lifestyle. What is your favorite TV show? ER. Any hobbies you pursue? Im a drummer, and I play regularly. Music is a driving force in my life. What advice would you give a new amputee or someone considering a career in O&P? To the new amp: Most important be patient!
