[@nettejakobs2501]

What a remarkable story of a hospital, a surgeon and the patients. Thank you for telling their story 😊

[@chrisworthen1538]

Pioneer is a gross understatement!

[@Mr29roses]

Fantastic program. Unbelievable that such an absolutely gorgeous building is just sitting there rotting. Can't it be used for a museum or something?

When I was in Badic in 1980 it was still open had to pass it on our way down town.

Archie MacIndoe and his also NZ-born mentor Harold Gillies are not well known in their native country - sad, really, like most famous Kiwis they boxed above their weight and contributed to the professions they chose and changed immeasurable lives. Kia Kaha!

I had the honor of meeting some of Sir Archibald McIndoe's patients. They were members of the famous Guinea Pig Club. Not surprisingly, they were the nicest bunch of guys you could hope to meet.

Humans have struggled with identity since the beginning of time. It’s a shame we are only just now recognizing that.

[@suebuschmann7057]

That’s not true. It has been the beginning of time that all tired to fix it. Like in midevil days had medical things too.
