#TheFacemaker next on my reading pile - another book discovered on Bluesky.

Watching @DrLindseyFitz totally smash it on CNN. An incredibly erudite and passionate speaker! Can’t wait to get round to finally reading #TheFacemaker.

We bought our trainees a 🎁inc kidney bags😎 by @jennifer_s_lees & #TheFacemaker @DrLindseyFitz is having radiotherapy currently. Yet she still signed a copy for every single trainee. Thank you🙏😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Read the book - it’s brilliant! Bookplates courtesy of @TealCartoons

This mask from #WWI protected tank crews against "bullet splash" caused by explosions as the tank came under fire. Tanks—which first appeared in September 1916—also left their crews susceptible to burns due to unprotected gas tanks which could ignite when hit. Learn more in my book #TheFacemaker.

The hematologist Oswald H. Robertson pioneered the idea of "blood banks" in #WWI by packing glass jars of citrated blood from universal donors in an ice-filled chest that he had constructed from ammunition cases. Learn more about it in my book #TheFacemaker - linktr.ee/drlindseyfitzharris

Trench foot, c.1916. During WWI, this painful condition was brought on when soldiers stood for long periods of time in icy puddles or mud. Among the British alone, some 75,000 soldiers were taken to the hospital for trench foot during the war. Learn more in my book #TheFacemaker.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I'll be speaking about the development of plastic surgery on the blood-soaked battlefields of WWI at #HistFest2024 in London on Saturday, April 13th. I'll also be signing copies of #TheFacemaker! I'd love to see you there: histfest.org/histfest-2024/
