Gram Young, who is blind, but yet can see, Derek, who still feels pain in his arm that is no longer present, John, who sometimes believes that he is a god who created heaven and hell and last theirs David who believes is parents are imposters. All four have suffered damage in tiny sections of their

Introduction From the very title of the novel and beginning poem Levi implores us to consider the essence of what it is to be human, presenting to us the thought-provoking question, if this is a man?

dogs have been around for many years helping veterans get back on their feet and helping them with their disabilities. Post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury affect hundreds of veterans each day. Those who suffer from amputated limbs must rely on others and mechanical devices to function. Rick Yount, a social worker, received a golden retriever named Gabe from two friends who were veterans. While working on a case, Rick and Gabe retrieved a young boy from his mother to put into

something back and I do not mean just an ability or function like PT and OT but, something tangible. This is giving a person. This has a major psychological effect on patients to have artificial limbs as described by the phantom limb pain, which is often eliminated by having a Prosthetic attached where the limb was.
