> has no coverage for prosthetics. Not only is the government not funding
> prosthetics for people dependant on their care it doesn't cover it's
> employees. This gentleman has been a patient of mine for about 10 years
> and we have kept his old legs working for that time. Now however they are
> cracked and in danger of failure. I would appreciate an application form
> for this patient, his name is Delly Nhem. Our mailing address is Center
> for Prosthetics Orthotics, 411 12th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122 our fax number
> is (206)328-1037 and Email is <Email Address Redacted>
> The patient you helped us with a couple of years ago Mr. Ermin Nezir
> continues to use his AE prosthesis and is in school to be an accountant.
> Your help made a real difference in his life and he will be a very
> productive worker soon. Thank you for your good work, I hope to hear from
