Ask Aaron Live: with John Kriesel | Ottobock

In this episode, Aaron speaks with author, motivational speaker, and bilateral amputee John Kriesel.
In 2006, while serving in Iraq, John was involved in a roadside bombing that nearly cost him his life. After dying three times, being transported to four different hospitals, undergoing 35 different surgeries, and a double amputation, John pulled through.
After being told he would probably be in a wheelchair for the rest of this life, John walked proudly out of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center after only nine months. Shortly after, he released his motivational and award-winning story called “STILL STANDING: The Story of SSG John Kriesel”.
Four years after his near-death experience, John worked as a civilian marketing employee with the Minnesota Army National Guard and was named Director of Veteran Services in 2012 for a county outside of Minneapolis. John didn’t stop there - he also is a part-time contributor to KFAN Sports Radio and former member of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

Hi it is time for a new leg but my insurance will not cover it. I am a nurse in a covid unit and wear a left bka prosthetic. I my fit has changed and it is time for a new leg. With all the stress on my leg from being bedside i have noticed that i am tiring out even though i have a high active foot. I need more assistance as i assist all of these sick people. What do i do to get funding? My insurance will not cover it. I am getting blisters in my current set up but work my 12hrs anyway.
