The first mastectomy was performed during the civil war. A young lady nurse named Clara Pond was loved by all the troops and was generally a positive, and competent nurse.
One day a stray round caught her in the left breast. It became infected and the doctors had to remove it. They cut and sewed and in the end she survived.
Now the troops thought it was awful that Clara would be lopsided the rest of her life, so they found a piece of oak and carved out, whittled, shaved and sanded until they had a beautiful strap on prosthesis for her to wear.
Okay, so this story isn't really history, but it would be great if it was, wouldn't it . . . (wooden tit)?
