I found the head nurse and asked her, and she said Dan has been flown back to America on account of they can take better care of him there. I asked her if he is okay, and she said, 'Yeah, if you can call two punctured lungs, a severed intestine, spinal separation, a missing foot, a truncated leg, and third degree burns over half the body okay, then he is just fine. I thanked her, and went on my way. Winston Groom
About This Quote

A person who is in a wheelchair can be considered as disabled. The person may not be able to walk or run, but they are still able to live a full life. A person who is missing a limb can also live a full life, but they may feel more limited than others. When the person is missing an arm, they may feel more helpless than others, but they can still do things on their own.

The same thing goes for people with hands missing, who can use their feet to help them walk. People with legs missing are also capable of walking, but are not as independent as those with arms or hands missing. When it comes to fire victims, people are often asked if the victim is okay.

If the victim is burned over half their body, they will likely be in pain and may require medication to help them feel better. People who have lost their eyesight might also need to wear glasses or contact lenses to make sure that they are able to see clearly, but there are ways of making sure that the person does not need any special assistance for this reason alone.
