EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to November 1965 when the press were invited to Moorefieldes Hospital in High Holborn, W. C. 1. The occasion was none other than the presentation by Lord Derby of a groundbreaking British Cryo Surgical Unit to the hospital. This revolutionary machine was designed for delicate eye operations using an entirely new technique that involved extreme temperatures similar to those found in outer space and reaching up to a scorching 120 degrees centigrade. The unit's primary purpose was to treat detached retinas, including recent operations performed on none other than the Duke of Windsor himself. This all-British development had already garnered significant attention from across the pond, with orders pouring in from the United States. Captured within this snapshot is Sister Pearce engaging in conversation with Lord Derby over this remarkable machine during the reception. Sister Pearce played an instrumental role in assisting during the Duke of Windsor's recent eye operation and her presence here further emphasizes her expertise and dedication within her field. This photograph serves as a testament not only to medical advancements but also highlights how technology can revolutionize healthcare practices. It stands as a reminder of our relentless pursuit towards improving patient care and pushing boundaries even further into uncharted territories for better health outcomes.
