Lee Simmons' artful structure "Quadrilinear" (2018) going through the roof of the Schoen Clinic (Wigmore Street, London). All of it welded together and certainly robust - not bad for a hospital specialising in orthopaedics and the treatment of spinal injuries. The elements of the structure are actually topographical, namely representing the grid of London's streets and buildings.
Shot probably at F4 or so.
Nicholas Andry de Bois-Regard (1658-1742) illustrated “orthopaedics - straight child” and how a growing child’s bones can be splinted to grow straight, as can a growing tree.
Sharoe Green Hospital opened in 1869 and was originally owned and managed by Preston Borough Council.
As the years progressed, the hospital had staff and facilities covering various specialties, including infectious diseases, mental health and maternity services. It was also a workhouse hospital until 1929.
An extension was built in 1968 and by 1973 there were new gynaecology, plastic surgery, coronary care and orthopaedics wards, a suite of operating theatres, a sterile supplies department, pharmacy, nurse training school and more staff residential accommodation.
On 1 April 1974 the ownership of the hospital was transferred from the Preston and Chorley Hospital Management Committee (which had run Sharoe Green Hospital since 1948) to the Lancashire Area Health Authority.

Alligators were mainly used on swampy planets such as Sqornshellous Zeta. This meant that they never featured in the photographs of arid lunar deserts that form our stereotype of a Classic Space scene. After the over exploitation of the indigenous mattresses, vast nature reserves were set up to protect the dwindling numbers of rare king-sized, pocket-sprung, orthopaedics. The Alligator vehicles proved ideal for scientists to travel across the swamps and monitor population numbers.
This vehicle was inspired by David Alexander Smith's Photostream. It's full of all sorts of Classic Space machines. I especially wanted to stick with conventional, studs up, building technique. Another part of getting the look seems to be using sloped not the newer curved bricks.
The shape and functionality were inspired by the new Technic turntable. This has no teeth on it inside. The hole is big enough for the spacemen to squeeze through from the front to the back compartment.

"Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please." - Mark Twain

A busy day, followed by an evening out with friends. It was a late return to the house today, and now my foot is screaming at me for being so rebellious and having the audacity to not stay in bed all day.
Ended up at the Urgent Care Clinic last night, which as suspected, proved to be a waste of time. The doctor wasn't able to tell me anything I didn't already know and just pointed out that if my foot hurts, I need to try and stay off of it.
Dr. Obvious, I wonder if he's a friend of the Captain.
I'll figure it out, and try to take it easy this weekend while I wait for arrangements to be made to visit with a Doctor who specializes in Orthopaedics.
Hope everyone has had a wonderful Friday. And to all my American friends, I hope you've enjoyed your Independence Day.

Reportage in the orthopedic surgery service in Luman hospital, Thonon, France. Operating theatre. A nurse prepares the surgical instruments required for a knee replacement.
This MRI scan shows a knee joint with cartilage covering the articulating joint surfaces to help the bones slide smoothly.
Cartilage responds slowly to changes in joint loading because it does not have any blood vessels, lymphatic system or nerves to feed and grow tissue, so nutrients are absorbed slowly.
Everyday loading of our skeleton is important to keep cartilage healthy because the motion and loading of the joint are needed to get nutrients into the cartilage, but little is known about cartilage in bedridden people on Earth.
To find out more, the Institute of Biomechanics and Orthopaedics of the German Sport University Cologne in Germany is studying astronauts.
As astronauts float in space for up to six months their legs are hardly used in weightlessness. The researchers are analysing biomarkers in up to 10 astronauts before and after flight to chart cartilage metabolism, thickness, volume and water content in knee joints.
This is the first time such a study is being done on healthy people. As cartilage responds so slowly, a similar study with healthy individuals on Earth would require that they do not move for many months, which is impossible.
The goal is to learn more about how the knee cartilage of the astronauts suffers from their trip into space. From here, researchers are hoping to understand the role of mechanical loading for cartilage health and the development of osteoarthritis.

This statue caught my eye for its starkness in the middle of the pleasant, park-like Rambla Poblennou in Barcelona. Then I realized it is a pair of hands holding a sick or injured man. .
It is all the more interesting for the hero it memorializes: Dr Josep Truetta Raspall. And it captures the plaster cast treatments he developed for wounds.
From Wikipedia:
Josep Trueta i Raspall (1897–1977) was a Spanish medical doctor. As a Catalan nationalist, he was forced into exile to England after the Spanish Civil War, during which he had been the chief of trauma services for the city of Barcelona.
During World War II, he helped to organize medical emergency services there. His use of a new plaster cast method for the treatment of open wounds and fractures helped save a great number of lives during the war.
Trueta formed part of a group of Catalans exiled in the United Kingdom who denounced the situation of Catalonia under Franco's regime. He wrote The Spirit of Catalonia, a book aimed at explaining Catalan history to English-speaking society.
He was Professor of Orthopaedics at the University of Oxford. He retired in 1966, and returned to Catalonia.
The main hospital of Girona was named in his honour.
Well here in 2021 I am now 15 and 12 years out after having both my hips resurfaced by orthopedic pioneer Harlan Amstutz; Dr. Amstutz doing "his" resurfacing on my hips as opposed to the more traditional total hip replacement. Both my hips are working perfectly with no endpoint in sight, and they feel and perform as though they were my natural hips; for me a life with no hip related limitations. Thank you once again, Dr. Amstutz.
Emeritus 1991 Harlan Cabot Amstutz M.D. was born in Santa Monica California on July 17, 1931. After graduating from the John Marshall High School, he went on to UCLA, graduating Phi Beta Kappa in 1953 with a B.A. in fine arts. While an undergraduate he played on the UCLA basketball team. He received his M.D. from UCLA in 1956. He did a rotating internship at LA County and a year of general surgery at UCLA before going to HSS for his orthopaedic surgery residency from 1958-1961. That was immediately followed by two years of military service, serving as Captain in the U.S. Air Force, stationed in Minot, N. Dakota, as Chief of Orthopaedics, Consultant Hospital, for the 862nd SAC Division, Area Veterans and local Indian reservations. This was followed by two years in London, England, the first at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital as an Honorary Registrar and the next year as Research Assistant at the Institute of Orthopaedic, also in London. Harlan then returned to HSS from 1965-1970, working at various capacities including Chief of Prosthetics and Orthotics, Associate Scientist, Lecturer and Director of Bioengineering. In 1970, he was tapped for the job of Division Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery at UCLA, taking over for the founding Division Chief, Charles Bechtol, who had served since 1959. Harlan served in that capacity from 1970-1989. From 1975 until 1989, he also served as Chief of Section of Orthopaedics at the Wadsworth VA. He became Emeritus in 1990. From 1991- 2007 he was the Medical Director of the Joint Replacement Institute at Orthopaedic Hospital. He then became the Medical Director of the Joint Replacement Institute at St. Vincent Medical Center in downtown LA. He continued to work on the technologies of metal on metal surface replacements until it closed in 2015.
Harlan Amstutz was the epitome of a true academic clinician-scientist. To his credit, he has authored or co-authored 335 refereed journal articles, over 500 abstracts and 75 chapters. He has over 1000 national and international presentations and 76 invited lectureships, as well as holding 13 patents. He is editor of Hip Arthroplasty, was the author and editor of Hip Resurfacing: Principles, Indications, Complications and Results, and is the editor of Current Status of Metal-on-Metal Hip Resurfacing. In 1996, Harlan was elected to the Royal College of Surgeons of England as an Honorary Fellow (one of only seven American orthopaedic surgeons to have been so honored), and elected in 2005 as an Honorary Member of the German Orthopaedic Society. In 2007 he received AOA-Zimmer Award for Distinguished Contribution to Orthopaedics, and in 2010 he was named Distinguished Alumnus of the Hospital of Special Surgery. In addition, Harlan seems to have been president of about everything: the Orthopaedic Research Society in 1973, the North American Hip Society in 1979, the Association of Orthopaedic Chairman in 1983, the Association of Bone and Joint Surgeons in 1984, the American Orthopaedic Association in 1992, and the International Hip Society in 2000. In 1970, he was an ABC Travelling Fellow, and in 1974, Harlan, along with Mark Coventry from the Mayo Clinic, were the NIH Travelling Exchange Fellows to Russia. He is a six time winner of the John Charnley Award in 1977, 1984, 1990, 1994, 2000, 17 and 2006. In 1979, he was the recipient of the Otto Frank Award for cement fixation of the femoral head in canine surface replacements, and in 1987, along with Keith Markolf, PhD, he received the Nicholas André Award for the UCLA knee ligament testing apparatus for ACL insufficiency.
In his 19-year tenure at UCLA, he established this Division as a dominant presence in bioengineering and joint replacement surgery. There, in collaboration with the Department of Engineering, he started the first PhD program in Biomechanical Engineering. He did the first leg lengthening, established the CEU (clinical evaluation unit) in 1973, and performed the first surface replacement in 1975. In those days it was all about joint replacement. Andy Cracchiolo introduced the Poly Centric Knee replacement, Gerry Finerman designed the Anametric Knee replacement, and we all used the Zimmer T-28 hip replacement system designed by Harlan. There were 4 stem sizes and 3 cup sizes and the cups and stems were cemented. The trochanter was removed 100% of the time (except at the VA where it was forbidden). The Tharies hip surface replacement system designed by Harlan was introduced in 1975. As a brand new R2 on July 1, 1975, I picked up that first patient and scrubbed on the second case. Vibrant and exciting describe those early days for the residents and faculty. In the ‘80s, Harlan introduced the DANA shoulder replacement, “Designed After Normal Anatomy,” to round out the complement of joint replacement systems and technologies.
After an illustrious career as an academic orthopaedic surgeon spanning 5½ decades, Harlan is now retired, but rumored to still be working. He and his wife Patty now have time to enjoy their children, Julie, Mark and Catherine and their second home in Maui. All those who have worked with and for Harlan wish him and his family health and happiness in the years to come. We look upon and remember our professional and social experiences Harlan and Patty as privileged.

A Surgeon, specifically the duty Orthopaedics Registrar was bleeped down to A&E for multiple trauma patients. He waits outside, clipboard in hand, ready to triage and to take those in need to the operating theatre.
Story -
Staff at the Emergency Department of Mossend Hospital were put on alert to stand by for multiple trauma patients following a serious Road Traffic Collision (RTC). The motorway smash involving a minibus, HGV and car saw SAS Ambulance crews racing several patients to Hospital medics who waited outside for their arrival. NHS Lanarkside bosses made social media appeals to only attend A&E or dial 999 only for critical emergencies and suggested contacting NHS24 or attending Minor Injury Units (MIU). Sergeant Jock McCulloch of Strathclyde Roads Policing team said: “This collision happened at a busy time of day and resulted in the closure of the motorway for several hours to allow a full collision investigation to take place. We are appealing for anyone with information to come forward. If you were driving in the area at the time and have dash cam footage, please contact Police on 101.”
A spokesperson from the Scottish Ambulance Service said: “At 1528hours today, Ambulance Control staff received multiple 999 calls regarding a serious RTC. A number of Ambulance resources were dispatched including Paramedic Response cars, Trauma Team and our Special Operations Response Team (SORT). Several patients were transported by road to nearby Hospitals.”
Witnesses claim to have seen and heard a male driver being breathalysed and told he had failed and was under arrest. Police sources refused to comment other than stating “Should criminality be established, a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal (PF).”
Reality -
I found a new seller on that well known auction site and they make 3D printed figures in a variety of scales. I also took delivery of Vallejo paint - “basic skin tone”. All of my figures who required it have now been repainted into much more natural complexions than their previous pink. I’ve taken these pictures to display two new additions, both Doctors, one figure is a Surgeon (traditionally titled “Mr, Mrs, Ms” rather than Dr in Britain) wearing dark blue scrubs, a surgical face mask and hair cover and holding a clipboard. The second Doctor also holds a clipboard and wears blue scrubs, but also wears a white lab coat. Also featured in this shoot is my 1:76 scale model of a Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) Paramedic Response Unit (PRU). This model has previously been featured in my pictures, however with an incorrect Battenberg marking set. The Nissan 4x4 shown, which stands in for Hyundai and previously Honda 4x4 vehicles used by the real SAS, now has the correct larger Battenburg markings along with yellow reflective markings around the door pillars.
