In this podcast episode, we sit down with Tina Hurley, a board-certified physician associate with extensive experience in vascular surgery, acute care medicine, and wound care. Tina’s medical career involved treating diabetic patients and performing amputations, until she herself became an amputee.
This exciting interview reveals Tina’s journey from medical professional to amputee, and eventually into advocacy.
