WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 2011 – Wounded veterans who come to the San Diego Veterans Affairs Medical Center for their prosthetic care find the clinic there offers more than top-notch medicine.

They also find a compassionate caseworker in Tristan Wyatt, himself a wounded veteran who’s lived the to-hell-and-back journey that proves there is life after losing a limb.

Orthotist Scott Gray adjusts the prosthetic leg of Tristan Wyatt during a fitting at the VA San Diego Healthcare System. Wyatt, who is now assistant chief of prosthetics at VASDHS, has overcome his injuries with the help of prosthetics and helps other veterans do the same.
