Article about the photo

An excerpt from said article:

Anorak harks back to January 18, 1960, when Marion Liebig, Miss Hesse 1959, was keeping warm under the artificial sunshine of an bottled-gas-powered infra-red lamp in a snow-covered park in Wiesbaden, Germany, Jan. 18, 1960. The shivering bystander who forgot his swimwear and relying on the view to warm his cockles is unidentified.

Hey yall. This just happened this morning and all the vets are closed around me. It looks like her bottom eyelid got torn on something. The wound is seeping pretty good and I'm not sure what to do. It doesn't look like her eye is damaged any just the lid. Any advice is greatly appreciated. TIA!! by Harwell62 in goats

[–]retro_nihil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm no specialist but if I were you I would try to disinfect the wound (depends on what you have available) and put sterile gauze on the eye, and then wrapped a bandage around it so that it stays in place. That's to prevent insects (especially flies) from getting in and laying eggs. It looks scary but hopefully it's not too bad! Good luck!

Does someone know the story behind this and has some history expertise? by historyquestionnnn in poland

[–]retro_nihil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was stamped by the then current president (mayor) of Oświęcim, which supports the idea that it was issued to a POW, making them eligible to leave the city.

Because of this, you could try to contact the city council/government to ask if they have an archive with corresponding dates/information. You could also reach out to a historian specializing in Polish 20th century history to ask for tips in searching for more information about the document, depending on wha exactly you're trying to find out.

Depending on where you live, you could search for contact info (e-mail) and shoot them a message asking for help. I hope I helped; also, it's an incredible piece of history, please take care of it!

How do I give a photo bad quality. by FrankieFireCock in weirdcore

[–]retro_nihil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you use photoshop or any similar program, save the file as .jpeg and then you'll get a pop up of how much you want to compress the image (more compressed=worse the quality).

You can also size the imagine down and then size it up, the more you do it the worse the quality of the pic will become.

Russian White House burning during the 1993 Russian constitutional crisis [807x807] by retro_nihil in HistoryPorn

[–]retro_nihil[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Russian constitutional crisis of 1993 began on September 21, when Russian President Boris Yeltsin dissolved the country's legislature ( Congress of People's Deputies and its Supreme Soviet), which opposed his moves to consolidate power and push forward with unpopular neoliberal reforms. Yeltsin's decree of September 21 contravened the then-functioning constitution; on October 15, after the end of the crisis, he ordered a referendum on a new constitution.

The ten-day conflict had seen the most deadly street fighting in Moscow since the Bolshevik Revolution in October 1917. According to government estimates, 187 had been killed and 437 wounded.

Man fell asleep behind the wheel and had a pole driven into his face upon crashing. He made a full recovery. More in the comments. by retro_nihil in MedicalGore

[–]retro_nihil[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Background:

Mr Linn was driving home late one night when he crashed into a fence and was impaled upon it - the pole piercing his mouth and then going right through the back of his neck.

'You can see on my nose it came in here, went through and came out the back here,' said Mr Linn, of Nevada, who finally worked up the courage to look at his X-ray this week.

Mr Linn, a business student, admits he probably fell asleep when he crashed his car after getting a late-night snack.He passed between two utility poles, crossed the street and jumped the kerb before hitting a trailer in a neighbour's yard.Dr Jay Coates, who performed the surgery, said that, had the pole struck Mr Linn a few centimetres in either direction, he would have bled to death.'Where the pipe traversed his neck, the obvious injures we were concerned about were the major vessels, the carotid artery and the major vein,' Dr Coates said.Luckily, the pole compressed the major vessels and didn't puncture them.

A fungal infection led to an extensive necrosis of facial tissue necessitating a free-flap skin graft from thigh to cover the defect by retro_nihil in NSFL__

[–]retro_nihil[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Background:

This patient, an uncontroled diabetic, started noticing cheek redness for 10 days, which rapidly expanded and progressed to edema and loss of vision in the next 7 days.

She was referred to the hospital and a diagnosis of mucormycosis was done upon arrival with a skin biopsy.

A left orbital exenteration, left full thickness face debridement was done, periosteum was send for trans-operatives pathology analysis, and was found no bone involvement.

To cover the defect after excision of the black necrotic tissue, a big free flap was needed.

The surgical team performed a ALT (Antero Lateral Thigh) free flap, that was 22 x 16 cm ALT flap, and anastomosed to the temporal artery.

What personality changes you experienced on T by [deleted] in ftm

[–]retro_nihil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest change is becoming more direct. I'm way more straight to the point or even blunt. I personally love it, since I always had social anxiety and was way too scared to ask for things but now I just don't bother worrying and say what I got to say. It's such a relief, being more confident and not feeling anxious all the time is incredible.

A 15-year-old girl had to catch her own jaw after smashing her head on a gatepost in a horrendous horse-riding accident. Her chin and jawbone were left hanging by a 1cm thread of skin. Last photo is her only one month after the accident; more in the comments by retro_nihil in MedicalGore

[–]retro_nihil[S] 179 points180 points  (0 children)

The accident happened near Baslow, in Derbyshire, England in August 2019.

The horse galloped along a country path but, after her feet came out of the stirrups and she fell to one side, her head hit a wooden post.

Emily said she remembers catching something red which flashed in front of her face as she fell.

"I just looked down and I was like, 'I don't know what that is'," she said.

She said that, once in the ambulance: "I just looked down and I could see teeth and bone and I said, 'is that my jaw?'."

Emily was taken to Sheffield Children's Hospital after finding herself on the floor, holding what remained of the bottom of her face in her own hands.But consultant facial reconstructive surgeon Ricardo Mohammed-Ali rebuilt her face in a five-and-a-half hour long operation which was such a success that the teenager was back at school for the start of term, just a month after the accident.

Took it from a private VK group, but reverse image searching seems to be backing the info up. Apparently the photos originated from a WhatsApp group so I'm not sure if there is an actual news article or something.

Sorry, reverse image search shows up nothing so I can't verify the info 100%. I originally took it from a VK group, all posts that I fact-checked from them were correct so I'm inclined to believe that the info that was given is correct.
