This much anticipated collection of stories, written by Oxford University Fellow and Pain Scientist, Dr GL Moseley, provides an entertaining and informative way to understand modern pain biology. Described by critics as 'a gem' and by clinicians as 'entertaining and educative', Painful Yarns is a unique book. The stories, some of his travels in outback Australia, some of experiences growing up, are great yarns. At the end of each story, there is a section "so what has this got to do with pain?" in which Lorimer uses the story as a metaphor for some aspect of pain biology. The level of the pain education is appropriate for patients and health professionals. The entertainment is good for everyone.

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. In 1932, the Rockefeller Foundation appointed her to be the Chief Physiotherapist at Peiping Union Medical College (PUMC) in China until she resigned in 1941.Upon the completion of her nine-year tenure in China, she bookedpassage back to America the week before the Pearl Harbor attack, but was toolate. She was left stranded in Manila as the Japanese invaded the city, which leftno chance for her repatriation home. 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"

A YOUNG MOTHER STRUGGLES WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. A teenager sustains a concussion playing football. A soldier loses a leg. A child is born with cerebral palsy. An elderly man suffers a stroke.

The soldier learns to walk normally with a prosthesis. The child takes her first step. The elderly man regains function and resumes daily activities. Physical therapists, sometimes called PTs, play a major role in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of people with all kinds of injuries, illnesses, and chronic conditions. The most common goal is to help people improve their movement and manage their pain. Treatment plans may include a combination of exercise, traction, mobilization, muscle manipulation, ultrasound, electrotherapy, vestibular training, motor development, and patient education. Assistive and adaptive devices may be used, such as crutches, wheelchairs, orthotics, and prosthetics. An important component of physical therapy is teaching an individual how to move or perform particular tasks in ways that will speed recovery and prevent further injury. Physical therapy, which has been evolving for more than 200 years, can treat a wider range of problems with greater success than ever before. Today, there are many different kinds of physical therapy. Which kind is needed depends on the type of health problem. For example, a patient recovering from a heart attack needs different care than an athlete with a sports injury. Physical therapists are trained to be able to treat all kinds of patients. Because there are so many different kinds, many PTs specialize in one particular area, such as orthopedics or pediatrics. A physical therapist can become board certified in any of nine areas, but there are many more specialties that can be practiced without certification. Physical therapists must earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree and become licensed to practice in their state. In total, it takes seven years of intense schooling after high school graduation to get to that point. Is it worth the time and hard work? Absolutely, say those in the field. In fact, physical therapy has been consistently ranked among the best careers to pursue. At a glance, the over 35 percent job growth over the next 10 years is exceptional. PTs are needed everywhere and the demand is far outpacing supply. Salaries are also good, generally ranging from $85,000 to $100,000 a year. The single reason most PTs are happy in their careers is the enormous satisfaction they get from helping people return to normal, fulfilling lives. Are you looking for a career that offers great job security and the opportunity to earn a comfortable living? If you are compassionate, patient, and physically fit, read on. Physical therapy may be what you are looking for.
