About this ebook
What do My Cousin Vinny, The Goat Man and voodoo ceremonies in the deep south have in common? They represent only a few of the interesting people and adventures had by Wade Ballance in his Physical Therapy career. From large city hospitals, to a ten bed hospital in a small town, to a massive catholic monastery, Wade has treated a colorful mix of patients throughout the south. Memorable patients and celebrity encounters fill the pages of PTA. This book tells the transformative story of how a YMCA gym rat went on to become one of the highest paid in his career. He soon learns though, that with great success, great failure can lurk right around the corner. Engaging and easy to read, PTA is the perfect book for those about to enter the field of Physical Therapy or for anyone in the medical field.
