Not many of you here but if you are old enough to remember a time when ostomy nurses were called ET it stood for enterostomal therapist.

I thought y'all might like a little bit of history.  First is a link to an article describing the genesis of Enterostomal therapy nurses and ostomy care nurses.

The second is a link to a video of a colleague and friend of mine who was one of Norma Gill's patients.
