Albert Lin is the most famous explorer for his TV documentary, Lost Cities with Albert Lin, on National Geographic; he had a leg injury in the past requiring him to use prosthetics.

During his exploration with a friend in a 4x4 vehicle near UC San Diego, their truck rolled, and Lin immediately put his right leg out to stop it from moving.

However, the vehicle was rolling on the off-road terrain, which caused his leg to get caught up, and as the car landed on his leg, his bones shattered.

After taking Albert to a hospital immediately, the doctors tried to save his limb, but Lin had to make a tough decision with multiple infections and a month-long treatment.

So, the explorer decided to let go of his leg and amputate it in the best as to stop the infection, which could cause more complications. Instead of holding on to an infected leg, he decided to move forward with his life by amputating his right leg.

After removing his leg from the knee, it took Albert a long time to get used to his new life as an amputee. With proper physical therapy and rehab, Lin got used to his new life with prosthetics, but his new life was still very tough on him.

Due to phantom limb pain, the TV host sought psychological help after none of the traditional medication seemed to work. With meditation and yoga, Albert returned to his new life with a positive mindset, still exploring as he did in the past with no regrets.
