This Patient lost his leg in 1983 in Cambodia fighting against the Khmer Rouge. When he returned to Vietnam he was fitted with a prosthetic but it did not withstand his work in the rice fields, so he had to adapt it for the wet and muddy conditions. When a group of volunteers visited the buddhist temple he attends last year, he was told how to get fitted for a new prosthetic at the Mercer Clinic.<br /> <br /> <br /> -he was fitted in 1983, but it did not work for farming. he adapted it with metal and wood made by hand, because as a farmer he can't afford to get another prosthetic. Working in the rice fields it broke over and over again<br /> -it weighed 10 kilos? pounds?<br /> -he is very happy USA and Vietnam are getting along so that he can get a new leg<br /> <br /> Q4 Now that you have a lighter prosthetic, what will life be like now?<br /> -thankful it is so light, easy to walk comfortable, and will make heavy work easier<br /> <br /> thank you to the US from Vietnam<br /> <br /> <br /> Q6 How did he find out about Mercer prosthetics?		<br /> -
