I have a patient who wears a left TT prosthesis w/ Alpha liner and renegade foot who is an EMT. He is leaving Friday to be part of the staff of an emergency field hospital being established in the New Orleans area. Given that he may be functioning under fairly extreme conditions, I am looking for a backstop Prosthetic facility in the area that he could resort to in the event of a problem with his prosthesis. (I understand that it will probably be well out of the area due to the devastation--but probably a lot closer than North Carolina.) I'll be seeing him tomorrow to give everything a once over before he leaves, so if there is anybody down that way who I could refer him to in the event of an emergency, please let me know. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
