Image description

Ink (biro) drawing of doctors and nurses preparing to operate in the Ingham Infirmary, mounted, framed and glazed. According to the artist's memories: The patient was called Christopher, who just happened to be one of the hospital Porters. Christopher was having keyhole surgery for cartilage on his knee. The artist was positioned in a corner of the operating theatre and told that, if he felt he was about to faint, that he should endeavour to fall in a certain direction, so as not to interrupt the operation! Painted by Aidan Doyle while he was artist-in-residence at the Ingham Infirmary in 1990. Originally displayed at the Ingham Infirmary, South Shields, and at South Tyneside District Hospital.
