'No-one wants a 58-year-old, fat, one-legged man' — except for Uber

Uber driver Tom Bundesen says his prosthetic leg works quite well as a conversation starter during the 70 hours a week he spends as an Uber driver.Tom Bundesen endured years of pain after dislocating his knee, which led to the loss of his leg

After learning to walk again he began looking for work, which he said was difficult, being a 58-year-old amputee Now he works as an Uber driver, a job which he says gives hm a glimpse at people from all walks of life Mr Bundesen worked as a registered nurse for 10 years, but since the loss of his leg he has become a"part-time Uber driver, full-time counsellor."

While working in Peppimenarti, about 300 kilometres south-west of Darwin, Mr Bundesen dislocated his knee — but what he expected to be a simple relocation procedure turned into a series of medical issues.After more than four months of treatment in Darwin in 2014, Mr Bundesen decided it was time to move back home to Rockhampton to be closer to his family.

. PART OF THE PROBLEM. If you think that an amputee who has to work 70hrs/week for Uber instead of 38 as a nurse is a success story, what have we come to? erinsemmler is young & her work has prob got some editor's view. But if Our ABC won't report wrong, who will? .

What a great bloke! Good on him and good luck for the future. 👍

Great attitude!
