First posting

My first posting came along to Oakville, Ontario where they had a casualty retraining center. It was a wonderful place for a therapist to work because we had casualties. They weren’t at that point from overseas, the odd one was but this was before D-Day. So we had casualties from the different camps around the Air Force stations and Petawawa, Camp Borden, all the places where there were troops and after they had surgery or whatever they were sent to Oakville. So we had a continuous stream of fractures, dislocations, sprains, strains, skin conditions, you name it. Also, there were a lot of cases that had to have surgical repairs so we would get surgical repairs from well, Hamilton Military Hospital, Chorley Park, Camp Borden, all of which, most all of them went through physio in some form. So the Oakville casualty retraining center was really a wonderful place for me to start.
