Physiotherapy
804 Pages, Paperback
FIRST EDITION 2017
This is an epic story spanning over 50 years of an English woman's life and
career as a physiotherapist in Africa.
This book covers a very interesting period in South Africa's history, both
in the socio-political sphere and medicine. The author worked in over
10 hospitals, including the wards where Chris Barnard did the first heart
transplant at Groote Schuur Hospital, and formed teams that did things
that had never been done before. It is an example of beautiful, classic,
correct and curative medicine, as it should be. Her criticism of modern
medicine, and its over prescribing of pills since the 1970s, is substantiated
by her recounting the use of physiotherapy to treat many ailments, ranging
from skin complaints, tetanus and amputations to wound care and chest
problems, in many departments, such as intensive care, neuro, post-op
recovery and prenatal. She worked in the physio field for 48 years and
even lectured for a year at age 75.
It is about a unique, exciting and unusual love story and describes how
being a devoted and assisting wife can pay off. She shares her experiences
of parenting and growing together as a complete 'Team of Four'.
It is about a woman who, being born in the Far East and not understanding
nor complying with apartheid ways of living, overcame discrimination
while holding dear the principles of being a good caring, helpful,
humble, charitable, compassionate, a listener, a defender, non-racial,
nature-loving, responsible and ever truthful.
This is a book for all to read.
