Most lay persons, as well as all too many physicians and surgeons, have a horror image of the constantly discharging intestinal stoma and frequently think, out of ignorance, that death is preferable to ileostomy" (Dr Albert Lyons, 1952).
Such was the understanding of many medical personnel and patients with a stoma in the early 1950's and perhaps, many today would still be under that same illusion if it hadn't been for the efforts of some of those earlier ostomates who having experienced a multitude of problems that resulted in a poor quality of life, chose to lobby for better alternatives.
