Monroe’s Motivated Sequence
1. Attention: Hey! Listen to me. (Calli...Part)
2. Need: Let me EXPLAIN the problem.
(Anikka...part)
According to the Limbs for Life Foundation “507 people lose a limb(s) each day,
joining over 2.1 million amputees living with limb loss in the United States alone.”
People often don’t stop to realize what it would be like to live without an arm or a leg.
Ordinary daily tasks become struggles for someone without a functioning appendage.
Limbs for Life reports that “diseases including diabetes and vascular disease, accidents,
birth defects and warfare are the primary causes of limb loss . . . [and] Almost 60% of
limb loss is preventable.” The fact that over half of amputees could have prevented the
loss of a limb is alarming. People who are born with arms and legs are used to the
luxuries of mobility. Traumatic injuries that result in the loss of a limb create drastic life
changes. People need to donate money to Legworks Inc. to help amputees obtain high
quality prosthetics, alleviate the financial burden placed on them, and improve their
quality of life.
The cost of a new prosthetic leg ranges from $5,000 - $50,000 according to ABC
News. This price does not factor in the added costs of surgical amputations, overnight
hospital stays, doctor visits, and months of physical therapy. Purchasing a prosthetic leg
or arm is not a one- time event either. ABC News says that even the most expensive
prosthetic is built to last for only 3 – 5 years. The Boston Marathon Bombing resulted in
more than 14 people needing amputations. “A 2011 survey by the International
Federation of Health Plans found the average cost of a single day in the hospital was
approximately $3,949” (ABC News). 34 victims of the terrorist attack stayed in the
hospital for well over 10 days, each accumulating over $40,000 in hospital bills.
Although some amputees may have health insurance to help with some of the expenses,
“most private insurance plans cover prosthetics at 80% level” according to Matt
Albuquerque. Different prosthetics are used for different purposes. For example, Christy
Wise, an Airforce captain, owns five styles of prosthetic legs. She uses a specific one for
biking, swimming, running, and everyday use. Laura Lorek reports that after Wise’s
amputation, the prosthetics allowed her to continue flying planes and skydiving. With the
help of donations, amputees will hopefully be able to afford prosthetic limbs and the
hospital expenses that go with them.
Amputees usually experience immense health benefits from receiving a
prosthetic. John Racy M.D. reports that amputees often face psychological, identity,
sexuality, and social acceptance challenges in addition to mobility struggles. Amputees
often experience depression and anxiety following their amputation surgeries. It’s
understandable that many patients would feel insecure about their appearance after losing
a limb. People in public sometimes stare at those who are missing appendages which
would be an unsettling feeling. Also, many amputees struggle with self-confidence and
worry about finding a partner who is accepting of their disability. The quicker an
amputee is able to obtain a prosthetic, the better the results psychologically and
physically. A patient is able to learn how to function and adapt with a new prosthetic and
gain confidence in their abilities.
A $25 donation to Legworks Inc. would greatly impact the lives of millions of amputees
living in the U.S. and in the world. Prosthetics cost thousands of dollars and are not a
one-time investment. Prosthetics need to be replaced every few years, and specific
prosthetics are needed for different activities. Amputees are prone to developing
depression and body image issues, so the gift of a prosthetic would bring some cheer to
patients and make daily life easier.

OUTLINE SPEECH - DRAFT-1
ATTENTION:
Introduction sentence: Health costs, money tightness, medical care. All of us are
familiar with these three things, and most of you have probably experienced one or more
of them. We’ll get into those three topics later, but first, I want to tell you about three
remarkable people.
•
A Farmer.
o
7am, running own contract firm, ready for the day
o
Older shredder to mulch up green waste. Wasn’t working right,
questioned
o
Checked the exhaust. If air was blowing out, it was working.
o
As hand pulls away, jacket gets caught. Tries to push away, but instantly
gets flung
o
Landed on the other side, felt where his arm should be
A War Veteran.
•
o
Jack Booth, prisoner of war from the Japanese Burma Railway
o
Bug bites/bamboo scratch develop into tropical ulcers
o
No painkillers, antiseptics, or dressings. Bamboo bite
o
Put to work making shoes from tires
o
24 hours a day on a platform.
o
Now lives at a charity for limbless veterans
A Diabetic.
o
Vikki Dwyer, type 2 for 18 years
o
Foot Blister, flu, hospital with high BP
o
Took 2 toes away
o
Weight loss, thirst, diagnosed with type 1
o
Took three remaining toes, and eventually foot
o
Types 1/2 can cause damage to blood vessels and peripheral nerves
o
Considers herself lucky 1 foot
Conclusion/Transition: A farmer, a war veteran, a diabetic. Three completely different
stories. Three completely different people. One central problem. No, not that they all
have horror stories and I wanted to scare you. These, along with many other people are
the unfortunate ones who have lost limbs are not able to receive a prosthetic due to their
costs.
