Quadriplegic Veteran Develops Infection, Becomes Double Amputee After 
He Can't Find a Personal Care Assistant.  

A Minnesota man is blaming the state's shortage of personal care  
assistants (PCAs) for needing to have both his legs amputated.

Dennis Prothero - a veteran from Stillwater, Minnesota - was in a car 
accident 20 years ago that left him a quadriplegic, needing a PCA to 
provide at-home care for everyday tasks like getting out of bed, 
showering, getting dressed and eating, CBS News reports.  

Prothero shared that finding PCAs has been more difficult lately, 
telling the outlet, "I didn't have anybody at night Monday through  
Friday and then nobody at all on the weekends."
