I was slightly disappointed to see this was a Canadian production however, it is an extremely powerful documentary. Ross Tilley and Archie McIndoe, along with a strong team of Nurses fought to save these brave young men both physically and mentally from their extreme trauma. These men formed bonds that will go down in history forever, whilst Tilley, McIndoe and the team developed techniques for the immediate and aftercare of burns victims, which is still in use today and will be for the future. Tilley and McIndoe set the standard for the care burns vicitims have today, and it is a standard that can only be built on. This is the amazing account of their work and a fitting tribute to two very remarkable surgeons. I would recommend this as compulsory watching for medics everywhere!
I've known about the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead, and the innovative work of Archie MacIndoe, and the resilience of those severely burned RAF pilots in WWII, since I was a medical student long before I even knew where Sussex was, let alone E Grinstead.
I moved down South 20-odd years ago and I was reminded and inspired when my adult son had serious facial fractures recently, treated with brilliance in that hospital. All that history is very evident in QVH, and their pride in patients and staff of those days alike.
All too soon those Guinea Pigs will no longer be with us, so this documentary was a timely record of courage, amazing medical progress, and the debt we owe to these young men, and those who re-built their faces, and their lives.
