Unlike many healthcare disciplines that are concerned with specific aspects of patient care, such as restoring the patient’s heart function or curing a single well-defined disease, rehabilitation medicine focuses on a much broader picture. In addition to achieving the maximum restoration of physical functioning, the rehabilitation medicine specialist is also concerned with psychological, social, and vocational functioning. Rehabilitation medicine is challenging and demanding. Many of the patients who need rehabilitation services have suffered catastrophic injuries resulting in a variety of problems, including brain injury, amputations, paraplegia or quadriplegia, severe musculoskeletal trauma, and acute and chronic pain. Others may need rehabilitation services because of a disease or disorder, such as multiple sclerosis, cancer, or stroke. Of course, rehabilitation medicine specialists also treat patients with far less serious problems. An athlete who has twisted a knee or hurt a back may need rehabilitation to get back into playing shape. An office worker who has carpal tunnel syndrome may require rehabilitation services to be able to type again without pain. more...

Loving God – loving His people. That’s what being a minister, priest or rabbi is all about. You’re with people at the turning points in their lives and assuring them of God’s care and compassion. You’re helping them be better followers of their faith, and that in turn helps make the world a better place. Being a member of the clergy is one of the most satisfying careers anyone can have. No two days are ever alike. You are using all of your creativity and energy to bring hope and inspiration. Those are qualities that were needed in Biblical times, and they’re still needed today. more...

Do you idolize Stephen King? Are your fantasies filled with scenes of writing the Great American Novel, maybe being revered as the next Steinbeck or Morrison? Would you rather clutch a Pulitzer than an Emmy any day?. Writing has a reputation, deserved or not, for being a dream job. At a party, if someone asks an author what they do for a living, the answer is likely to cause eyes to glaze over and jaws to drop in awe. There is just something about the idea of spending your life serenely turning out exquisitely crafted prose that’s appealing. Yet most people haven’t a clue what a writer’s life is really like. What they do all day behind closed doors is a mystery. You’re sure that a writer is someone who gets to sit on a window seat drinking a leisurely cup of coffee over The New York Times while all the lesser beings are battling commuter traffic on the way to real jobs. And you may wonder, how did they get so lucky?. Luck has nothing to do with it. And there’s nothing mysterious about becoming a freelance writer. Anyone with a modicum of talent for translating ideas into words or communicating information in a clear and concise manner can be a professional freelancer. “But my creative writing teacher said my stuff stinks,” you may say. That’s exactly what happened to Max Woosley. He’s the author of the best seller, Holy War. He has been writing for 30 years now. “But I can’t spell to save my life.” That’s what spell checkers are for. You don’t have to be a straight-A student in English class or have the imagination of Dean Koontz to be a professional writer. What you do need is a love of the craft and a determination to make it your career. more...
