"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
In these operations, defects on the nose were reconstructed using skin from the arm, and in some cases, from the arm of another person. But unlike a skin graft where the skin is completely lifted from the distant site of origin, for a brachial rhinoplasty it was required that the arm be left in contact with the face "for the space of ten or fifteen days, or until union had taken place; and it was not until then that the arm was released from its situation." posted by Sydney on
