Epidural blood patch
- ... that observations of a car tire being repaired helped develop the epidural blood patch? Source: In the early 1960s, Dr. Turan Ozdil, an instructor of anesthesiology at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, began an interesting independent line of work that would parallel that of Gormley. One day,around 1960, as he was observing a “tubeless tire repair” (in which a piece of rubber is pulled across a hole in an automobile tire using a device resembling a crochet hook), Dr. Ozdil imagined how a hole in the dura could be similarly plugged by a small amount of clotted blood.

5x expanded by DecrepitlyOnward (talk). Self-nominated at 17:52, 22 January 2022 (UTC).
Newly expanded, long enough, and well written with no major issues. Hook is short and punchy, accurate, cited, and neutral. This is the nominator's first DYK, so QPQ is not needed. Good to go. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:29, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
