Life After Catastrophic Injury: A Tribute to Steve Ehretsman
Manage episode 479567698 series 2832311
In this heartfelt episode of "Adjusted," we explore life after catastrophic injury with Julie Greer, Senior Catastrophic Claims Specialist at Berkley Industrial Comp, and Steve Ehretsman, the late founder of Shamrock Prosthetics. When Steve lost his leg following a workplace accident, he identified a critical gap in the recovery process: the lack of coaching for the mental and physical challenges of adapting to life as an amputee. This experience, combined with his coaching background, inspired him to establish Shamrock Prosthetics, where his team adopts a unique approach to supporting amputees.
Julie and Steve share their insights on reconstructing lives after workplace amputations through innovative prosthetic solutions and empathetic claims management. Their collaboration highlights how listening to injured workers' goals and providing real-world functional testing can lead to better outcomes than standard prosthetic protocols.
