Patients of surgeon Harold Gillies during WWI and WWII
Okay, these photographs pissed me off a bit, because they donât show off how much of a genius Dr. Harold Gillies, the father of modern plastic surgery, was. Rhinoplasty, skin grafts, and facial reconstructions have been practised for centuries. However, it was this New Zealander surgeon who standardized these techniques and established the discipline of âplastic surgery.â
The introduction of more destructive weapons of WWI and WWII resulted in devastating injuries. In addition, in trench warfare, the head was more exposed than the rest of the body, and soldiersâ faces were often shattered or burnt beyond recognition. Despite the best efforts of surgeons, many soldiers were left hideously disfigured. Traditionally, the edges of facial wounds were simply stitched together, but when scar tissue contracted faces were left twisted and disfigured, so a new type of surgery was needed.
Gillies rebuilt faces using tissue from elsewhere in the body. Antibiotics had not yet been invented, meaning it was very hard to graft tissue from one part of the body to another because infection often developed, so Gillies invented the tubed pedicle,â where he used a flap of skin from the chest or forehead and âswungâ it into place over the face. The flap remained attached but was stitched into a tube. This kept the original blood supply intact and dramatically reduced the infection rate. After many surgical construction, grafting, and healing, which could take months to years, the tentacle-like tubing would be removed, and (volia!) a new face!
He was also the first to do sex reassignment surgery from female to male in 1946, then male to female using a flap technique in 1951, which became the standard for 40 years.
tl;dr, these were his patients BEFORE the surgery. He didnât DISFIGURE these people he HELPED them.
This is amazing holy shit

I am living for this meme
I watched this without sound at first and can say that the music changes everything.

Oh I really do enjoy how the 2020s are shaping up to be a lot like the 1920s. You get a generation of lost kids that grew up during a war. They reject their parents conservative attitudes. The youth has created a resurgence of Dadaism and Nihilism that the older generations donât understand. An artistic boom replacing the materialistic tendencies of our parents. The queer community is thriving in a way that it hasent been in years. Activism and socialist ideologies are on the rise again. How wonderful. It makes me want to go to Paris and be the next Gertrude Stein
This is a Hot Take that I am HERE FOR.
Maybe itâs the chance to do it right this time! Letâs do this!

imagine if the oceans were replaced by forests and if you went into the forest the trees would get taller the deeper you went and thereâd be thousands of undiscovered species and you could effectively walk across the ocean but the deeper you went, the darker it would be and the animals would get progressively scarier and more dangerous and instead of whales thereâd be giant deer and just wow
you have a beautiful imagination
this gave me chills
this would make a really interesting anime
Oh fuck noâŠ
Iâm in love with this idea
all the tree tops are the same height, but the valley floor is getting lower <3
hopeless romantic with trust issues and a sex drive out the roof
Iâve never seen anything so accurate though
in college there are only two moods:
1. i can do this! after outlining everything i need to do, it doesnât seem so bad. in fact itâs very methodical and easy to follow and i can do it.
2. oh my god its happening. its the end for me. i might as well be dead. everything is due now. i was put on this earth to suffer. i have two essays due in 45 seconds and all ive eaten today is half a goldfish cracker. i can only feel pain
also these moods go back and forth every hourÂ
AU where...
Aang died with the air nomads.
The next two Avatars, from water and earth, live without ever knowing who they are.
Zuko still spoke out at the meeting, he still refused to fight his father in the Agni Kai.
Zuko was banished, and in his search to find the Avatar, earth bends.
He is the Avatar and doesnât know what to do about it.
Okay but consider:
Zuko, punching the air: âI MUST FIND THE AVATAR!â
*rock goes flying*
Zuko, waving his arms for emphasis: âIT IS THE ONLY WAYâ
*strong wind knocks over grunt in the background*
Zuko, stomping dramatically: âTO RESTORE MY HONOR!â
*deck behind zuko becomes covered in ice*
Iroh, stroking his beard: ââŠ. hmmmmmmâŠâ
And Iroh just decides to mess with him and just goes âWell, I suppose we should start searchingâ and Zuko doesnât find out until later in the episode
THIS is the version of the story I want to read!
Walter is my cousinâs dog. He really has a thing for swimming.
that was a religious experience
Iâve never seen a butt-mounted camera, but damn, this dog knows where he wants to go, and goes there fast.
His little ears flopping in he wind
THIS IS THE QUALITY CONTENT I WANT TO SEE
Do you ever start bullshitting a paper, and then look over it halfway through and think, ââŠWait a minute, I could be onto something here.â
this is the definition of college.
Literally I was writing a paper on Asian salt water crocodiles, like a simple about them paper for a college class, and I started noticing some inconsistencies in the scientific papers I was sourcing and I accidentally discovered that the crocodile has been misdiagnosed as least concerned on the endangered species list when they should be classified as endangered and now my professor is having me write a formal report to the international Red List to have them reclassified and all I wanted to do was write this paper on an animal I thought was cool and now Iâm considered an expert on this speciesâŠ
this is how it works half of esteemed biologists trip and fall into their specialty while pursuing something else. one lecturer i just went to started as a biochemist researching antibiotics and discovered that crocodiles change colors based on environment and now he has 30+ crocs in his yard for research purposes and heâs just likeâŠÂ âwait⊠iâm a chemistâŠâ
How did so many people end up with crocodiles on accident?????
