Product Description
No Whining is one man’s gut-wrenching yet humorous account of his eight-week journey through Craig Hospital’s Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) rehabilitation program. Paralyzed from the waist down, author Herb Tabak credits Craig’s “no nonsense” rehabilitation philosophy as a major factor in the progress he has made to date towards recovery.
Tabak relates the range of adventures he experienced while an SCI patient at Craig Hospital’s world-renowned spinal cord injury rehab program in plain, easy to understand language. In pointing out the reasons that make Craig Hospital unique, No Whining covers a diverse spectrum of topics, including:
- The Reality of Spinal Cord Injury
- The Craig Philosophy
- Physical Therapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Therapeutic Recreation
- Facing the Real World
- Craig Research
- Craig Graduates’ Stories
- Over 30 Photos/Illustrations
No Whining is an inspirational resource for anyone with an interest in Spinal Cord Injuries.
No Whining: Craig Hospital Spinal Injury Rehab: Reaching New Heights
As a “graduate” of Craig Hospital myself, I felt that Mr. Tabak was writing about me. I had the good fortune of meeting the author in Feb. 2006 while I was in rehab at Craig following a car accident that broke my neck and bruised my spinal cord. I also live in Summit County, CO. Mr. Tabak’s account of Craig’s no-nonsense approach is right on. If you whine the therapists will keep pushing. That’s why I too am walking today after only 6 weeks at Craig. I recommend this book to anyone who has experienced/knows someone who has a spinal cord injury/or is just interested in learning about Craig and SCI.
