Wheeeeeeeeeee!

Another publication. This time, with a story...

We sent it in as a short communication. It got returned with a note saying, "Please resubmit as a full paper." So we did. Return of e-mail, an acceptance, with no alterations required.

And why am I so amused? Because it's a case series of three patients....

Henry, Prince of Wales (Henry V), Francoise, duc de Guise, and Henri II, King of France.

Yes! I _have_ just pulled an SCA related article into 'Annals of Plastic Surgery'!

Wow! Could you do a brief summary write-up for the BMJ to amuse bored GPs?

Dude! Sweet!

how about a summary for us??

Was it Henry V who got an arrow in the sinuses, or Edward the Black Prince? Robert and I can't remember...

either way, I think his surgeon went away and designed an extractio tool, didn't he? So his patient had to lie there for a day with an arrow in the face.

Several days, in fact, because there was a delay calling him.....

It was Henry, Prince of Wales (Henry V), and the surgeon was called John Bradmore.

And yes, I can do a summary. Perhaps for the Baelfyr?

I'll see what I can do.

I am impressed. That's even better than my working heraldry into HCI lectures.

How long do you think it'll be until I can find it on pub-med?

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

Dunno. 6 months or so, I suspect

cooool!! Though I didn't know they had plastic surgery done? I just saw Kingdom of Heaven: did the king of Jerusalem REALLY wear a silver mask to cover his leprosy? (yes, I know I could google it, but asking you is more fun! and I'm lazy)


(I suppose they would frown upon it being reprinted elsewhere?)

Well, not precisely plastic surgery, but facial trauma surgery, which can also be us.

And yes, I think Baldwin did use a mask. Not sure if it was silver tho'. Not really my period. Would make some sense tho'. I know that Tycho Brahe's artificial nose was silver.

Wow, that is so cool! Well done and yes, please let us see a summary.
