My apologies about being so laggard in digging out my copy.
On Page 75 we have:
In the same surgery ward there was a man in his forties, with what
was then called <I>myositis ossificans progressiva (fibro dysplasia
ossificans)</I>, a condition in which muscles turn to bone.
Laing is talking of his early experiences in surgery at the Glasgow
Royal Infirmary. The man died eventually. Give me Fairbairn and his
inability to pee any old time.
