In this super-exciting special episode the Poor Historians interview author Dr. Lindsey Fitzharris about her new book, The Facemaker.  The Facemaker centers on the incredible achievements of Dr. Harold Gillies, a plastic surgeon in WWI who not only helped restore the identities of injured soldiers with severe facial injuries, but developed a multitude of plastic surgery techniques in doing so.  He helped legitimize the specialty as well--believe it or not, at one time it was not highly regarded.  In this episode, Dr. Fitzharris will give us all a new perspective as the author of this work.  We highly encourage you not to miss this one!  Go get this book or download the audiobook version, read by Daniel Gillies--the actor and descendant of the pioneering surgeon himself.  Follow link below or order.Author's website: https://drlindseyfitzharris.com/Support the show-----PHPod Merch Store (CLOSED)-----Podcast Linktree (social media links / reviews / ratings)-----#medicine #medicalhistory #history #historypodcast
