jumpa term The Grecian Bend ni dalam buku patho. and its quite interesting because due to the appearance of the symptom, it became a fashion for people in those days.huhu.
The Grecian Bend term was given to those who suffered from decompression sickness, or "the bends", due to working in caissons during the building of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York.
ni dia jambatan yang famous tu
The Grecian Bend.
pathology: decompression sickness - air embolism
The name was given because afflicted individuals characteristically arched their backs.The stoop or the silhouette created by the fashion in women's dress for corsets, crinolettes and bustles by 1869 was also called The Grecian Bend.
Dipendekkan cita..from orang2 yang involve dlm pembinaan jambatan ni masa tu suffer from air embolism. diorg ni ada gas bubbles dalam skeletal muscle tissue which causing them a painful condition kat joints. hmm..and turns out the way they walked masa tu da mcm bending sket and tiba2 jadi fashion plak.diorg menari dengan posture ni and ada plak new fashion design yg berupa macam ni.huhu~
mesti mcm pernah tengok kan fashion ni? hahaa...
Have you ever been in love my boys
Or have you felt the pain?
I'd sooner be in jail myself
Than be in love again
For the girl I loved was beautiful
I'd have you all to know
And I met her in the garden
Where the praties grow
She was just the sort of creature boys
That Nature did intend
To walk right through the world my boys
Without the Grecian bend
Nor did she wear a chignon
I'd have you all to know
And I met her in the garden
Where the praties grow
and there's even a poem created for it:
A woman in France got the spinal disease,
and from that sad moment she had no more ease,
to add to her anguish she very soon found,
Oh horror! her back was becoming quite round.
The spasm of physical pain she endured were keen,
I assure you and could not be cured!
