That man was Forrest. Forrest Gump. For the month of February, I\u2019ll be focusing episode topics on historical and pop culture references in the movie. Ones you may have missed when watching the film because of the overwhelming emotion attached to every scene, or ones you may only be familiar with on the surface. In this episode, we\u2019ll be talking about the advances in medicine that made Lieutenant Dan\u2019s new legs possible, from the beginnings in ancient times, through the advances made in the field following World War 2 and through today. I\u2019m your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Prosthetics.
