Elizabeth Kenny — the girl whose unlikely treatment helped people with polio

from Fierce Girls · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Elizabeth Kenny grew up in a time when women were rarely educated, so naturally, she trained herself to be a nurse. When her patients with polio were struggling with the pain of their treatment, she thought outside the box and came up with a new way to help them – The Kenny Method. Doctors saw her as an outsider, but Elizabeth stuck to her guns and eased the pain of people in need.Written and narrated by nine-year-old Josie Davies.
