Injuries Books

The textbook is a great compilation of forefoot, midfoot, rearfoot and ankle soft tissue as well as osseous trauma. It provides a quick reference, review, and treatment for the above mentioned conditions by a valuable collection of authors.

"I step off with my right foot and look down. I spot a grenade just in front of me and off to the left, where I'm about to drop my left foot. In back of the grenade a C-ration can sits in the bushes. C. L. has tripped the wire attached to the grenade and pulled it from the can. It's live.
I know it's too late. I'm in the middle of taking a step. My left foot has yet to hit the ground. My mind say, Run, duck, evaporate, but my body won't react fast enough. It's like sliding on ice. No way to stop, and nowhere to go but in the direction gravity moves you. I feel a rush go through my body. I feel the stillness. My left foot touches earth. I start to take a running stride. The grenade explodes....."

This is the true story of a young Marine lance corporal who was severely wounded in Vietnam. His account of hope and survival carries a special message for those who fought there or were wounded there, and for those who stayed home, especially the women who love their men and have tried to understand what they endured and how it changed them.
For the author, Vietnam meant five months of combat and a year in Ward Three South at Great Lakes Naval Hospital. When he left the hospital, he was twenty - the oldest man on the ward. Vietnam was, more than any other conflict, a teenager's war, and Rick's account is one of teenage love and despair, as are those of his buddies. How these young men were joined together in a special fraternity for which the only initiation dues were pain, and how they managed to cope, makes M*A*S*H take a back seat to real life."

Especially relevant today as thousands of vets wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan make their way home.

For Self and Country is written in a simple, yet moving style. The descriptions are so vivid that it is almost as if you are watching a video of the events that are being described.

Being a veteran of Viet Nam, it brought back many memories, both good and bad. It uncovered some that I would have left covered.

In reality, the book begins when he is wounded and concentrates on the treatment, the evacuation and the long trip back to reality and relationships with those that love him.

I highly recommend this book for anyone that is studying military history, the war in Viet Nam, or US history.

I must be honest with you; I am Kent's niece. I have lived through the story. You see when I was born in 1977, Kent was already in a wheelchair. However, I have read the book and believe it portrays the entire story quite accurately. This is an awesome account of the years and progressions of Kent Waldrep.

This book covers the topic of health from a tennis perspective and could help thousands of tennis players from being injured who play the game every year. This book would also be an invaluable resource for anyone treating "tennis specific" injuries. I have been looking for a well-written book on this very subject for years.... this is it.

this book is great for those with difficulty in anatomy of muscles. this is the easiest way to learn anatomy in a functional way. the colors, illustrations, are excellent. Should be required reading for certification organizations.

THIS BOOK CONTEINS INFORMATION ACTUALYTI AND TOO IMPORTANT FOR MY JOB.

HEY GURL! this book is DA BOMB. It really inspired me to work at DIPPIN DOTS. I felt an uprising of good in my black heart. It really changed my views on paganism.I hope everyone reads this book. IT REALLY WURKED FUR ME~!

Despite the serenity of a lush green golf course, it is one of the top five locations where a person will experience a heart attack. The game of golf, like no other sport, combines healthy elements like sunshine and fresh air, with an activity that strengthens the heart, lungs, muscles, and joints of the body, when played properly. Dr. Ed Palank, The Golf Doc, knows. He understands that you can play better golf, and not fall victim to a heart attack or heat stroke, if you pay attention to your body.

Not just another book about improving your game, The Golf Doc is a comprehensive compendium about how to prevent golf injuries and speed up recovery time. The Golf Doc is filled with health tips and useful information on allergies, nutrition, medication, heart care, skin care, vision, playing in adverse weather, exercises for those big drives, course safety, and the mental game. You'll find advice on issues important to women, seniors, juniors, and players with disabilities. Stories from professionals and mere mortals who love the game offer inspiration and words of warning. Golf is a game for life. Improve your game and your life by staying healthy.

This book helped my golf game quite a bit, especially in distance and straightness, simply by trying a few of the exercises from the exercise chapter. I had always known that golfers have back problems from overuse of their back muscles, but I've never known what to do about it, until now. Now, on my recurrent nightmare holes, I'm closer than I've ever been after the drive, and wondering what to do with the hook that's suddenly appeared after years of bannana balls. The author is a prominent orthopaedic surgeon who has also spent a few years on the pro golf circuit, so he knows the subject intimately. I've had my share of down time, and was strongly motivated to understand (and practice!) the many morsels of guidance from this pragmatic and experienced golfing doctor. This is not a book to just read.
