Dave Parr, a 45-year-old amputee from Devon, was faced with a £7,000 bill, as well as a three-month waiting period on the NHS to replace broken foot on his prosthetic limb. However, he managed to get it fixed for free within 20 minutes at a DIY shop.
After a car crash, Parr had his left leg amputated above the knee. He has been using the prosthetic leg and foot for the past ten years. He got it privately, hence, the NHS refused to repair it for him and there was a long wait for a new one. He was unable to afford the price for the replacement so he decided to go to a local store to buy tools to fix the foot.
