    This has been the worst experience I have had with federal regulations. I've been trying to book an appointment with a orthopedic surgeon to fill out the required paperwork with no luck. You cant even pay them cash to do it.

    Can anybody that has had to go through the SPE process give me their doctors name and location? I'm willing to travel from the Memphis area.

    Thank yall!

    I know it can be done, used to be a guy that drive for Howard trucking had one leg, was cut off above knee, had an prosthetic, only a few that knew him knew that.

    Was his left leg, he drove one of the automatics with the clutch back in 2000.
    haven’t seen him since 10 when that company went out.

    Represent man! Fellow Memphian here. I wish I had the answer to your question. One thing I know for sure, if you're trying to take care of business in Memphis that can be eternity. Did you poke around in the Nashville area?

    Nashville is next up. I'm mailing letters directly to the doctors and skipping the front desk people. You are right about Memphis.

    I have a vocational rehab request in with VA. I'm 70% rates with them, and they have been good about keeping me employable. However, that application was sent a month ago and I haven't heard back. It's the VA. Patience...

    Hope you get to go home soon. Any hospital time sucks.
