The Grit Behind the Miracle by Alice E. Sink PDF Summary

Book Description: In 1944, the people of North Carolina faced a polio, or infantile paralysis epidemic which received attention throughout the United States. In The Grit Behind the Miracle, Alice E. Sink tells the extraordinary story of an emergency polio hospital that was built, equipped, and in operation within fifty-four hours in Hickory, North Carolina. Sink describes the role of Dr. H. C. Whims in orchestrating the building and staffing of the hospital, and profiles the doctors and nurses who worked to help the children afflicted with polio.
