"Oh no, I'm certain the Americans wouldn't have done that if Canada hadn't built its wing," says Dr. Tilley. Although the Canadian Wing was for Canadians, whenever there was an empty bed Dr. Tilley gladly cared for the patient regardless of nationality. nationality. In one slide a small British girl of about eight or nine shyly looks into the camera. Her shoulder and arm were burned in 1943 during an air raid. In progressive slides she bravely smiles for the doctor, her arm and shoulder finally like new. In 1944 Dr. Tilley was summoned to Buckingham Palace to receive the coveted Order of the British Empire. He clearly recalls arriving at the palace to receive the honour. "Oil, it was a great thrill," he says. He can't, however, recall just what King George said to him. Dr. Tilley returned to Toronto in 1945 to the Christie Street Hospital, then to Sunny- brook when it was built. And he was a consultant at the Wellesley Hospital. He also travelled once a month to Kingston to operate on burn patients in that area - there was no one else. "I'd take the train down on Monday night, lecture at Queen's Tuesday and operate Wednesday. In the evening I'd catch the train back to Toronto." Despite his heavy schedule, Dr. Tilley always kept in touch with his war-time patients - the Guinea Pigs. The rapport that began 41 years ago cannot be broken. Every two years the Canadian Canadian Guinea Pigs have a reunion reunion - you can be certain to find Dr. Tilley there. In 1980 there was a reunion in Winnipeg, Winnipeg, in 1982 in Calgary and one is planned for 1984 in Vancouver. Vancouver. Because Britain is a much smaller country than Canada, the British Guinea Pig reunions reunions are held every year. Traditionally, they get together together at a pub near the hospital hospital and down a few pints before belting out the Guinea Pigs anthem. They're certain to toast the memory of Sir Archibald Mclndoe (who died in 1960) and to raise a glass for Dr. Tilley. During a reunion in England in 1974 the Guinea Pigs had a bronze plaque installed in the Canadian wing in Dr. Tilley's honour. They wanted the world to know about the man who dedicated three and a half years of his life to mending broken bodies and broken spirits. The Canadian Wing at East Grinstead was only part of one of several hospitals where patients with severe burns were treated. They were all needed to take care of the large number of casualties from the war. In a time of peace, there are far fewer patients but their needs are the same. So, after the war, the plastic surgeons in Toronto began working for the establishment of units which could provide the special care and new methods of treatment developed at the Queen Victoria Victoria and other hospitals. Regional burn centres were recommended by the Metropolitan Metropolitan Toronto Hospital Planning Commission in 1968 and one of the sites mentioned was the Wellesley Hospital. Dr. W. R. N. Lindsay, a plastic surgeon on staff at the Wellesley Wellesley and assistant professor of surgery, began lobbying to have the proposed centre built. Dr. Lindsay, who graduated in medicine from Alberta in 1949 and holds the degree of master of surgery from U of T, was joined in his efforts by Dr. Douglas when he arrived in 1969 after a year as a McLaughlin research fellow in Uppsala, Sweden. Through it all, Dr. Tilley gave help, encouragement and advice. "An astute campaigner campaigner for the burn centre," says Dr. Douglas. The new centre will be opened in January 1984. Dr. Walter Peters, a 38-year-old plastic surgeon who lias specialized in burn treatment, lias been appointed director. He came to U of T for medicine medicine after taking a Ph.D. in microbiology and biochemistry biochemistry at U.B.C., graduated in 1972 then went on to the University's University's post-graduate surgical surgical program. An assistant professor in the Department of Surgery, lie has been a staff surgeon at the Toronto General Hospital and the ML Sinai Hospital since completing completing his specialty training. Ontario's Ministry of Health will pay for the centre's operating operating costs, hut the hospital is conducting a campaign to raise the $2.6 million needed for construction and equipment. equipment. The self-contained unit will provide intensive care and have an operating room, hydrotherapy facilities and rooms for 10 adult patients. (There is a paediatric burn unit at the Hospital for Sick Children.) Clinical research will also be conducted at the centre which will be named for Dr. Tilley when it is opened. In 1982 lie was appointed a member of the Order of Canada - the first Canadian plastic surgeon to receive the honour. As Dr. Tilley accepted the award from Governor- General Edward Sclireyer, cheers of joy echoed in the homes of many Guinea Pigs. Dr. Douglas - who knows the care Dr. Tilley showed for men who "in a few seconds went from being real handsome handsome fellows to someone who would turn your stomach" - was also overjoyed. "Dr. Tilley is one of my personal favourite people," lie says. Dr. Tilley dosed his office in 1980, but continued for another three years to attend at the burn clinics held twice a week at the Wellesley. "Almost anything you could name, he lias seen," says Dr. Douglas. "Not once or twice, hut a host of times. You always learn something from him. He is a great teacher, a meticulous surgeon and an inventor." One of the inventions inventions was the "hand splint" - an ingenious little metal device used to position (lie hand for surgery. To the hundreds of Canadians Canadians disfigured in the Second World War, Dr. Tilley is more than just a surgeon, lie is their friend. An unusual accomplishment, accomplishment, yet he achieved it. What was his secret? "He always treated people as individuals, not just as another piece of something that had to be operated on," Dr. Douglas emphatically says. "He allowed them to maintain their dignity in (lie face of adversity." But, from the doctor himself, himself, the answer is simple. "I looked on them as friends, not as patients." Yelverton Girl Vacationing In Africa YELVERTON New Year's Eve was observed observed in a somewhat more cautious manner this year than usual as ' the crackdown by the "boys in blue" on those who mix alcohol alcohol with their gasoline scared even the most moderate moderate imbiber into getting a nervous twitch every time a car with a red jelly bean on top is observed even five' miles away. Seems more than ironical- that the provincial government government which deserves a big chunk of their income from the sale of alcoholic beverages beverages on one hand, talks out of the other side of their mouth when their customers customers indulge in the very product product which they find so financially financially rewarding. Seems to be a bit of a double standard. standard. Unfortunately, out in tlie country it is impossible to rely on the services of a taxi as being financially prohibited. Locally, the residents patronized patronized many of the dances being held in adjacent community community halls as well as a wide variety of house parties parties on New Year's Eve. Miss Candy Malcolm is leaving this week fora three week vacation in the south of sunny Africa. That should be a very interesting trip indeed.
