Another publication- kinda

[hobbitomm]

So, our edition of 'BBC History' magazine comes through the door the other day. I have a quick glance- and notice that in their letters page there's a letter about the 'first plastic surgical operation', dated for 1816. Erm. No.

So, one quick raid of my SCA paper on 16th century (and earlier) surgery later, I'm sending a 'reply to the editor', complete with pictures and reference. I got a mail back saying, 'Excellent. We'll publish it.'

Now, the question is, it's not a peer review journal, so do I include it on my CV?

Prof's advice was 'Put it in, but make sure you note that it's not peer review, as I once went through an application, and of 30 publications, only 4 were peer review journals'.

So, I shall :)

this came over the Nordmark Runestone

"Who would want a medival surgery set?`"

Ooooh, sexy!

Sadly, 250E is too much for a frippery. But something to keep in mind if I ever find a reaaaaally generous blacksmith :)

I do actually have an A&S project in mind, involving a leg of lamb (skin on), a bit of suturing of rubber-tube linked to fake blood vial to artery, and a medieval surgical kit. And a volunteer to pretend to have their leg amputated ;)
