Chris Cummings, the chief adviser at the Iraqi Army Surgeon General’s Prosthetic Clinic in the International Zone, works on Suham Hassan’s prosthetic right leg during her visit to the clinic Oct. 21. Suham lost both of her legs in an insurgent mortar attack three years ago. The prosthetic he prepared is only meant to be temporary. “The permanent prosthetic she receives will depend on the limb and how it changes,” Cummings said. “Her rehabilitation will play a big part as well. We will see where she is on her next visit.”
