I've had more than one body part encased in plaster over the years. Now, I know who to thank.

(Belfast Telegraph)
Quote:An Ulster woman who made medical history by changing the way broken bones are treated is to be honoured in her home town of Portadown.
A blue plaque will be unveiled to Anne Crawford Acheson (1882-1962), a sculptor who pioneered the plaster cast treatment still used today, by her great nephew, Rev John Glasgow Faris.
