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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDays 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith dazzling storytelling, \u003ci\u003eRun, Don't Walk\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEntertaining, engrossing, and ultimately inspiring, \u003ci\u003eRun, Don't Walk\u003c\/i\u003e is a fascinating look into a hidden world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdele Levine, P.T.\u003c\/b\u003e is also a lover of long distance open water swimming and late-night urban cycling.
