19.01.2022 Unveiling of bust honouring Sister (assuming 1950s in USA). Another bust was created and was apparently hidden for many years in storage with the Toowoomba City Council and was eventually donated to the Sister Kenny Memorial in Nobby where it can be seen today.

14.01.2022 Sister Kenny: The woman who invented herself by Allan Hilldon Elizabeth Kenny, better known as Sister Kenny, was a household name in Australia and America during the 1940s. In 1951 she was voted in a national Gallup Poll as the most admired woman in America. Kenny’s campaign to transform the treatment of the paralysis caused by polio attracted derision from medical professionals whilst earning her the unwavering admiration of her patients and their families. Sister Kenny was... loved and loathed in equal measure. Today she is an all but forgotten figure. The story of Elizabeth Kenny’s discovery of her controversial polio therapy is one of the great medical legends of the twentieth century. Allan Hildon uses personal insights and a forensic examination of historical archives to peel away the fabrication and deception that Kenny used to create a personal legend which gave a purpose to her life whilst bestowing a gift to humanity. The portrait of Kenny which emerges in this unconventional biography is more nuanced, more flawed, and more human than the caricature of a selfless nurse which she helped to create. This book shows that the ultimate source of Kenny’s concept of polio and its treatment was her invention of herself. https://www.amazon.com/Sister-Kenny-woman-inve//B085KTHXSX See more
