Prostheses in Media - Historical standpoint

So I let the request I received about misconceptions in media for a few weeks because I wanted to answer the question adequately. My ultimate goal is to write information respectfully and ethically. I am nervous posting this and I hope I do it justice. However, I will listen to the community, especially about modern-day prostheses. I defer to them. This took days to complete. Please like and reblog if you liked it. It’s the only feedback I get and encourages writers like me to continue.

Some of the information is a little graphic, but I tried to stay away from that as much as possible. Spoilers for Agent Carter, Game of Thrones, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Boardwalk Empire. I’m so sorry for the wonky photo sizes, but tumblr keeps fighting my edits. Historically, people/shows underestimate how wildly different prosthetics can be. Some can be very cumbersome, but some are quite advanced in comparison to other fields of medicine at their time. The first plastic limbs were designed around the 1940s and, in some countries, far later than the 40′s leading some people to use wooden prostheses. It depended on economic status and the resources medical professionals could access. However, we also have evidence of very advanced Egyptian prosthetics and Medieval metal prosthetics, so I think some of these prosthetics were cumbersome but still relatively advanced. I'm not sure if Tumblr will flag me if I post the picture, but it's in the link.

As far as historical characters, that's difficult to analyze because I feel prostheses are featured more prominently in fantasy or sci-fi worlds where you can't measure that to real-life standards. I am sure some old movies and books demonstrate these issues I am unaware of. Fictionally, I felt Agent Carter did a great job depicting disability. Daniel Sousa has a prosthetic and walks with a crutch. The other agents at the SSR agency completely underestimate him, exclude him, make extremely ableist comments, and sometimes even get physical, such as pushing/crowding him out of the way. Sousa has some amazing comments about this in the early episodes of season 1, where he talks about how everyone cheers the soldiers returning home for a few days and then essentially ignores those who did not return the "same" way, whether that is physically like Sousa or mentally struggling like Jack Thompson. 

One quote:  "They weren't clapping for me. They were clapping for this and this. Clapping because I make them feel guilty, and they want to feel good. You think because I'm wearing a suit and I got a clean shave, we're different? We're not. We're both people nobody cares about.” Sousa is below Yes, I suck at sizing pictures. I’ll edit it once I can fix my resizing. :/ Don’t worry, you’ve read the longest part. The rest is pics with tidbits.

Picture above from 1947 of WWII vets looking at various prostheses. From the “Every Body” Smithsonian exhibit. Very cool site!

I think people don't know that there are actually tons of different types of prosthetics. I have read of early breast reconstruction surgery, but academically, there are a lot of arguments about whether rebuilding breast tissue is a prosthetic or plastic surgery. Plastic surgery has an early connection with prosthetics. For example, right around World War I, facial prosthetics were considered a massive breakthrough. It literally transformed people's lives. I don't know how much I can say without Tumblr flagging me because it is so incredibly graphic. 

WWI was especially brutal because many new technologies were invented, allowing for more powerful weapons, tanks, and chemical agents like mustard gas. Think about what these weapons can do if it strikes someone's face. 

 The doctor who created much of the practices was Sir Harold Gillies, but American artist Anna Coleman Ladd played a prominent role in the creation of many of these pieces; some are actually rather beautiful in a macabre way. However, every single country had talented individuals that made key contributions. If you look up pictures before, during, and after the surgery, they are extremely graphic, so be warned. However these transformations are amazing, but the pure emotional pain, the physical horrors of war, and the transformation to something resembling "normalcy" is difficult to watch, but these people’s histories shouldn’t be forgotten.

Boardwalk Empire also depicted facial prosthetics' role through Richard Harrow's character, whose picture is above. The show features a WWI veteran with a facial prosthesis similar to the one I described. I've heard praise for it, but I realize that isn't a historical fact. I've heard of other period dramas having characters with a prosthesis, but I haven't watched them. 

Since limbs are the most common prostheses - 

Anakin and Luke Skywalker's prosthetics are entirely scientific-fantasy realm, as well as Jaime Lannister's from Game of Thrones. However, a German knight named Götz von Berlichingen had a relatively advanced arm. There is a picture below of Gotz's prosthetic. 

Jaime Lannister’s prosthetic above:

I think another one of the most famous examples is Bucky Barnes. People generally know that his arm is highly unrealistic, so I’m not entirely sure how helpful I can be here. I can mention WWII prosthetics a bit though. Here are two links: 1. These are people who have prosthetics and / or work with prosthetics in a medical setting.

2. The Science of Marvel by Sebastian Alvarado has several bits about Bucky’s arm and its connection with the rest of his body.Falcon and the Winter Soldier explored this a bit and because of a chain of events, Bucky discovered a fail safe in his arm was placed by those who helped rebuild his arm. A lot of people are heavily debating whether this is an example of discrimination/ abelism or not. 3. Here is a video of some prosthetic experts and users looking at Bucky’s arm.

This picture is from the 1940s. This type of arm is still used today. Sometimes it’s function-based, but historically, sometimes, the type of prosthetic was based on your socio-economic status. 

World War I prosthetics seem to appear more closely to an arm, but WWII prostheses seem to focus more on functionality.  I post a pic here for the comparison.  (PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME HERE. This is something that’s confused me for ages because the academic books and journals I’ve read contradict each other.) The picture below appears to be the type of arm Bucky would have had more likely than the picture that I show earlier. Ironically, despite the “better tech”, WWII veterans staged a protest over the quality of veteran health care, especially those with prostheses. Makes me wonder what Sousa and Bucky would have done. Would they have participated?

The fetishization of prostheses can also be a huge problem. There is fan fiction on which people in the prosthetic community have a wide berth of opinions. Since I don't have a prosthetic myself, I don't feel like it would be right of me to speak up on the subject except to say that there is zero denying that fetishization occurs. Finally, many people need to remember that not just soldiers/ veterans and action heroes have prosthetics. Some people are born with differently formed limbs. Another thing is not everyone feels shame over their body. I posted examples below of people who have different opinions. Regardless, the media could better reflect diverse stories. Disability research can be tricky as a lot relies on medical records, which can be tricky to get . The most crucial thing for historians is ethics and following protocols so finding records require more effort. There are also diaries, letters, and memoirs, but that can also be difficult to come across, meaning we don't have as many narratives from the people with the prosthetic themselves. However, there are new letters found and memoirs written all the time.

Finally to learn more:

I would recommend A Disability History of the United States (REVISIONING HISTORY) by Kim E. Nielsen, which you can find in libraries and other sources that have PDFs.....It’s a little more accessible, but another wonderful book is 

Paying with Their Bodies: American War and the Problem of the Disabled Veteran by John M Kinder. It’s a more graphic read and more academic in tone, but I still recommend it.

Links: 

Here’s a good mini-documentary about some of the latest advancements in prosthetics.

Here’s an article about the future of prosthetics.

I don’t usually post a source like ABC News, but they have an interesting WWII catalog type of graph and a great example of modern pieces.

I hope you all found this interesting. I was very nervous to post this. Please let me know (politely) if anything should be corrected. I’m here to listen to the community. As a disabled person, I think it’s crucial to listen to others in the community, even if our stories and experiences differ.

Feel free to send more questions to me! My specialties are the history of medicine and the history of human sexuality, but I also like to research other aspects of history, so feel free to ask!

(Daniel Gillies) [THE DREADED]. Please welcome [CHRISTIAN REEVES (HE/HIM)] to Huntsville, WV. They are an [48]-year-old [VISITOR] who lives in [THE COMMUNE]. You may see them around working as a [GYM/HEALTH teacher at the high school]. They are looking for [EDGAR WAYNE] their [EX FIANCE] Poor unfortunate soul. We’ll see if they survive.

BASICS

Name: Christian Reeves

Nicknames: Chris

DOB: 17th March

Height: 5'11

Originally from: BC, Canada and Massachusetts

Lives in: The commune

Occupation: Former doctor, now the maths/gym teacher at the high school

Sexuality: Pansexual. Biromantic.

+Ambitious, Courageous, Persistent

-Quick to anger, Disrespectful, Jealous

Born and raised in Canada, Christian didn't have a good start to life as he had to constantly listen to his parents arguments over small things, one would blow up on the other and something would smash against the wall. It was an unhappy household.

He became a dad at 15, unknowingly as they were both just kids trying to have fun while dating. This would come back and bite him on the ass later on in life when Gabi got in touch, it's a strained relationship mostly consisting of text messages and emails, he has yet to meet her in person but respects that she didn't want a relationship with him when she was younger.

He met Edgar when he was working in a hospital near Harvard university and the pair of them hit off, spending several wonderful years together... that was until something snapped in him and his jealously bubbled up to the point where he would often throw things and shout at Edgar, calling him pathetic. Christian was out of control and one day, he woke up and Edgar was gone.

That was six years ago. He had a harsh reality check after filling Edgar's voice mail, screaming that if he found him, he'd drag him back home and make sure he was suitably punished for leaving. Yep, that's what made him pause and admit himself to see a therapist, he saw that therapist every week for the next three years, working through his issues and figuring out how to control the fiery temper he had. Sure enough, with lots of help, he settled down and guilt set in for doing that to Edgar, how could he be so awful to the man he once loved? It was too late, Edgar was gone. It was for the best.

Recently, he's been trying to reconnect with Gabi, finally answering that long email she had sent him which was full of blaming, saying that he was his fault her mother never kept a relationship so he responded with an email just as long as hers was, explaining that they had just been kids and that he didn't know she existed until she originally got in touch. Things have been slightly better on the Gabi front recently.

Two weeks ago, he packed up and headed south, arriving in Huntsville where he now works at the high school as the maths and gym teacher, he knows Edgar works here, he's seen him but hasn't approached yet because he needs to figure out what to say to him.

Evan Calloway | Bio

Name: Evan William Calloway Nicknames: Face Claim: Daniel Gillies Pronouns: he/him Age: DoB: Orientation: heterosexual Occupation: Doctor Personality (+): Personality (-): Biography:

[blogger360ncislarules]

The CW, which has been on a live sports and foreign acquisition bender since being bought by Nexstar last year, is dipping into its old playback with the order of two new, original scripted series.

The network announced Thursday that it has greenlit the procedurals Wild Cards, starring Riverdale‘s Vanessa Morgan and Grey’s Anatomy‘s Giacomo Gianniotti, and Sight Unseen, starring newcomer Dolly Lewis and Vampire Diaries/Originals vet Daniel Gillies. Both series are Canadian co-productions, the former with CBC and the latter with CTV.

Wild Cards is described as “a crime-solving procedural with a comedic twist that follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti), a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max (Vanessa Morgan) has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. The two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.”

Sight Unseen, meanwhile, centers on a “top homicide detective (Dolly Lewis) who is forced to quit the job she loves after nearly killing her partner and being diagnosed as clinically blind. Reluctant to accept help, Tess uses an assistance app and connects with Sunny Patel (Agam Darshi), a professional seeing-eye guide and an agoraphobe living 3,000 miles away. After losing her vision, Tess is haunted by the unsolved cases she left behind. Using a hidden camera and earpiece, Sunny remotely steers Tess through life’s obstacles — and crimes — as the two challenge preconceptions about ability, trust and where to draw the line. Inspired by one of the co-creators’ experiences with sight loss, viewers join Tess and Sunny as they bring a fresh perspective to solving crime.” The series also stars the aforementioned Gillies, Jarod Joseph (The 100), Alice Christina-Corrigan (Doctors) and Tony Giroux (Motherland: Fort Salem).

“Wild Cards and Sight Unseen are two unique, binge-worthy shows that reflect The CW’s commitment to compelling, top-tier storytelling that will appeal to our loyal fans and attract a wide range of new viewers,” said the network’s head of scripted programming, Liz Wise Lyall, in a statement. “We are thrilled to… bring these dynamic series to life and highlight just how expansive The CW brand can be.”

Okay so I binged all of Three Rivers today and it was okay. I'm not a huge fan of doctor drama shows but I was too entertained by seeing Alex O'Loughlin as a transplant surgeon in scrubs than anything else. It wasn't a waste of the day but I won't be so quick to go about rewatching it anytime soon like I did with Moonlight or H50.

same here , unless they have something unique about them that sets them apart from the many others , for the most part those kinds of shows aren't really my thing. The last doctor show that I watched was saving hope which I initially just watched for daniel gillies but it ended up being pretty good lol
