As the place-kicker for the San Diego Chargers for 10 seasons, Rolf held 16 team records and was the third-most accurate kicker in league history when he retired. But what makes Rolf s football career so remarkable is that he played the majority of his career as a colitis patient and ostomate. For Rolf, his illness turned out to be more than learning to cope with IBD and ostomy surgery. It became an inspirational blessing that would define a mission for the rest of his life - a passion for patients that is exemplified in the spirit of the Great Combacks Program.

First documented surgical fecal diversion 200 years ago to relieve obstruction. 1776 French surgeon M. Pilore performed the first ostomy surgery for bowel blockage. A sponge was attached to the opening with an elastic bandage to absorb any leakage. 1945 Preparing supplies Nurse Eloise Fisher is shown here preparing a bandage with a supply cart visible behind her. Frequent dressing changes were part of the nursing care of Dr. Thomas Jones colostomy patients, since there were no colostomy bags at the time for in-hospital colostomy care. When Dr. Jones made rounds to examine his patients, he required that all dressings be opened. 1950 Ostomy product development suffered from limited technology and resources. Stoma construction suffered from poor surgical techniques. Stoma care suffered from lack of nursing infrastructure and standards of care. 1954 Norma Gill enters Hospital, severely ill, and meets Dr. Rupert Turnbull, Jr., to discuss the possibility of an ileostomy to save her life. After 9 weeks and several surgeries, Norma begins a new life. Wanting to give back to society, she contacts several surgeons offering to assist with patient education. 1958 In August, Dr. Turnbull enlisted Norma Gill as a stoma technician to help his clients overcome the shock of ostomy surgery and resume a normal active lifestyle. First major cornerstone of Enterostomal Therapy (ET) or stomal therapy nursing was put into place. 1958 Dr. Turnbull and Norma Gill start an ET program in Germany. 1960 Gill Ostomy was opened by Norma Gill, one of the first dedicated ostomy dealers. 1962 Norma Gill and Dr. Turnbull opened the School of ET at, requiring only that the trainee be an ostomate. Dr. Turnbull, then Chief of Colon and Rectal Surgery at the, assisted with the development of the post-operative pouch (referred to as the FURR BAG for the resident who designed it). The role of skin barrier was established. Ostomy products were rapidly changing from reusables to disposables; lightweight, low cost, odor-barrier plastic films were adapted from the food industry to the design of disposable ostomy pouches. United Ostomy Association, founded by Norma Gill and Archie Vinitsky, provided the first nationally organized network by and for the benefit of people with ostomies. 1968 Wound Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society (WOCN) founded in Cleveland as the North American Association for Enterostomal Therapy. It became apparent to Dr. Turnbull that this new specialty was here to stay as an important adjunct to the medical profession. ET nurses spearheaded the development of the North American Association of Enterostomal Therapists (NAET). 1969 As the NAET s mentor, Dr. Turnbull helped organize the first national meeting of the group at the. A total of 33 therapists had joined the Association, and 21 of them were present at its first national meeting. Early 1970 s An accurate assessment of the current situation and needs of the patient occurred. Post-op hospital stays ranged between 2 and 4 weeks. Home care was fragmentary and the ostomy (surgical) dealer was providing the substantial amount of information. Focus was put on consumer needs. The principle concerns of people with ostomies were security, comfort, odor management, and convenience. It was also found that different products were needed in the hospital than at home. 1971 NAET changed its name to International Association of Enterostomal Therapy (IAET). Charges for independent ET visits were approximately $25 for first hospital call, $10 for each hospital visit thereafter, and $15 for an outpatient visit. 1972 Tuition for the course was $200 and $660 for travel and hotel. Medicare did not directly reimburse for enterostomal therapy visits and as of 1995, that had not changed. World Council of Enterostomal Therapists Journal (WCET) started. 200th person graduated from the ET School.

(Joan Kerr, left, an administrator of the school with Norma Gill, right) 1977 Norma Gill, first president of WCET (1977-1980), introduced NEWSLINE in 1980, which became the WCET Journal. Suburban Ostomy, the first pharmacy-ostomy wholesaler in the US was founded, with a mail order catalog that included ostomy products. 1980s Because of the dramatic changes in Medicare reimbursement and DRGs, new ostomy patients were sent home within 7 days, increasing patient care in alternate settings. Enterostomal Therapists became integral players in the management of ostomy programs in the areas of consumer education, teaching colostomy irrigation as an alternative rather than the norm, and routinely prescribing the appliance. Virtually all products were disposable. Their insights guided industry toward greater sophistication in ostomy appliance design. Major surgical developments have major impact on ostomies, contributing to a dramatically improved life standard, and a reduction in the number of permanent ostomies. A concentrated effort was focused on products for pediatric and small stature patients. A unique non-adhesive appliance with a flexible silicone ring to create convexity and conformity with the body for use without a skin barrier was introduced. 1980 Establishment of the Norma N. Gill Foundation funding international students. 1982 Scope of practice expanded to include acute and chronic wounds. Established an 8-week ET school in Dusseldorf Germany as a WCET recognized school. 1984 Congress of WCET Nursing starts. 1986 Scope of practice expanded to continence care. 1991 Membership opened to non-et Registered Nurses 1995 55 countries have recognized stomal therapy nursing and there are schools in 21 countries. 1996 Named changed from IAET to WOCN. 1977 Nortrud Schindzielorz and Dr. Turnbull went to Germany in 1977 to start an ET school. 1978 Representatives from 32 countries assembled to constitute WCET. 1979 Norma Gill with residents. 1980 Paula Erwin-Toth with Kristi Pfeiffer, a pediatric ostomy patient. 2007 ET/WOC Nurses were highlighted in Medical Miracles.
