June 16, 2016 PLASTERED: 1942. Nov. 1942. Babies' Hospital, New York. "When student nurses have completed much of their training they can relieve nurses like this one for war service, and can take over such duties as attending patients in corrective casts." Fritz Henle, OWI
The patient is in a full body cast (looking a bit like the robot from "The Day the Earth Stood Still" movie. Resembles an old-time diving suit. Comment: "a plaster monstrosity."
I won't ever complain about my leg cast back in 1966.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
