Download or read book Run Don t Walk written by Adele Levine and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: M*A*S*H meets Scrubs in a sharply observant, darkly funny, and totally unique debut memoir from physical therapist Adele Levine. In her six years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Adele Levine rehabilitated soldiers admitted in worse and worse shape. As body armor and advanced trauma care helped save the lives—if not the limbs—of American soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, Walter Reed quickly became the world leader in amputee rehabilitation. But no matter the injury, physical therapy began the moment the soldiers emerged from surgery. Days at Walter Reed were intense, chaotic, consuming, and heartbreaking, but they were also filled with camaraderie and humor. Working in a glassed-in fishbowl gymnasium, Levine, her colleagues, and their combat-injured patients were on display at every moment to tour groups, politicians, and celebrities. Some would shudder openly at the sight—but inside the glass and out of earshot, the PTs and the patients cracked jokes, played pranks, and compared stumps. With dazzling storytelling, Run, Don’t Walk introduces a motley array of oddball characters including: Jim, a retired lieutenant-colonel who stays up late at night baking cake after cake, and the militant dietitian who is always after him; a surgeon who only speaks in farm analogies; a therapy dog gone rogue; —and Levine’s toughest patient, the wild, defiant Cosmo, who comes in with one leg amputated and his other leg shattered. Entertaining, engrossing, and ultimately inspiring, Run, Don’t Walk is a fascinating look into a hidden world.

Book excerpt: Mary McMillan: The Mother of Physical ~ Mary McMillan was as instrumental in founding physical therapy, as FlorenceNightingale influenced the profession of modern nursing. Mary knew from anearly age that she was meant to help, heal, and assist those who were in pain.She was fearless and unafraid to help all who suffered, no matter the peril. Marywas the key figure in organizing the profession of physical therapy in the first half of the twentieth century.Born in America in 1880, she was uprooted to England to live with her aunt at an early age. In college, she trained in physical education and remedial exercises in order to work with patients recovering from orthopedic surgery. In 1910 she worked in Liverpool under the eminent Sir Robert Jones. Shereturned to the United States in 1915 and became the Director of the Clinic ofthe Children's Hospital in Portland, Maine. Two years later, thousands of WorldWar I wounded soldiers needed rehabilitation after the end of the war. She quickly became known and admired by leading orthopedic doctors and was recruited by the United States Surgeon General to form courses in physical reconstruction and therapy. Mary was the first reconstruction aide sworn into the United States Army in February 1918 and shortly thereafter was promoted to Director of Reconstruction Aides, later to be called Physical Therapists.World War I launched a need and ignited the field of physical therapyin America. It allowed women to begin a career in a new profession, one that would make their talents shine by healing tens of thousands of suffering soldiers. Mary taught the United States Army's inaugural class of over 200women reconstruction aides at Reed College, whose graduates were sent outall over the country to set up hospital wards to rehabilitate the war's woundedsoldiers. She would become known by all in her profession as "The Mother ofPhysical Therapy," and a leader of the rapidly growing vocation. Because of Mary's hard work, efforts, and teaching, physical therapy would later become an integral part of every medical and physical recovery program for patients in homes, hospitals, clinics, schools, and training facilities around the world.In 1921, Mary wrote the best-selling book, Massage and TherapeuticExercise, published by W.B. Saunders. She became the principal founder and president of the American Women's Physical Therapeutics Association, known today as the American Physical Therapy Association. At the same time, she was the Director of Physiotherapy at Harvard Medical School Graduate Program for eight years.

Mary, and over 4,000 other Americans,British, and Dutch faced tragic circumstances, heroic hardships, starvation,and life-threatening health issues during their imprisonment by the Japanese in the Santo Tomas and Chapei Internment Camps from 1941-1944. This heroic story shares, in vivid detail, her triumphant life story in how she endured and survived through it all, never lost faith, and succeeded in her goal to serve the unfortunate as the "Mother of Physical Therapy"
Download or read book Father Figure written by Jordan Shapiro and published by Little, Brown Spark. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thoughtful and "utterly mind-blowing" exploration of fatherhood and masculinity in the 21st century (New York Times). There are hundreds of books on parenting, and with good reason—becoming a parent is scary, difficult, and life-changing. But when it comes to books about parenting identity, rather than the nuts and bolts of raising children, nearly all are about what it's like to be a mother. Drawing on research in sociology, economics, philosophy, gender studies, and the author's own experiences, Father Figure sets out to fill that gap. It's an exploration of the psychology of fatherhood from an archetypal perspective as well as a cultural history that challenges familiar assumptions about the origins of so-called traditional parenting roles. What paradoxes and contradictions are inherent in our common understanding of dads? Might it be time to rethink some aspects of fatherhood? Gender norms are changing, and old economic models are facing disruption. As a result, parenthood and family life are undergoing an existential transformation. And yet, the narratives and images of dads available to us are wholly inadequate for this transition. Victorian and Industrial Age tropes about fathers not only dominate the media, but also contour most people's lived experience. Father Figure offers a badly needed update to our collective understanding of fatherhood—and masculinity in general. It teaches dads how to embrace the joys of fathering while guiding them toward an image of manliness for the modern world.

Download or read book Notes on Grief written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the globally acclaimed, best-selling novelist and author of We Should All Be Feminists, a timely and deeply personal account of the loss of her father: “With raw eloquence, Notes on Grief … captures the bewildering messiness of loss in a society that requires serenity, when you’d rather just scream. Grief is impolite ... Adichie’s words put welcome, authentic voice to this most universal of emotions, which is also one of the most universally avoided” (The Washington Post). Notes on Grief is an exquisite work of meditation, remembrance, and hope, written in the wake of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's beloved father’s death in the summer of 2020. As the COVID-19 pandemic raged around the world, and kept Adichie and her family members separated from one another, her father succumbed unexpectedly to complications of kidney failure. Expanding on her original New Yorker piece, Adichie shares how this loss shook her to her core. She writes about being one of the millions of people grieving this year; about the familial and cultural dimensions of grief and also about the loneliness and anger that are unavoidable in it. With signature precision of language, and glittering, devastating detail on the page—and never without touches of rich, honest humor—Adichie weaves together her own experience of her father’s death with threads of his life story, from his remarkable survival during the Biafran war, through a long career as a statistics professor, into the days of the pandemic in which he’d stay connected with his children and grandchildren over video chat from the family home in Abba, Nigeria. In the compact format of We Should All Be Feminists and Dear Ijeawele, Adichie delivers a gem of a book—a book that fundamentally connects us to one another as it probes one of the most universal human experiences. Notes on Grief is a book for this moment—a work readers will treasure and share now more than ever—and yet will prove durable and timeless, an indispensable addition to Adichie's canon.
