Healing Hands part I

Thanks for sharing these excellent images of the surgeons, nurses and scrub techs. The first getting the suture ready and the last with all hands on board are my favorites.

You are definitely most welcome, dox. Forgive me, however, for having earlier failed to comment on composition and content, both of which you've shown in these to be several cuts --no pun intended-- above the norm.
It's great Jim!!

Nice captures
As patients, we don’t usually get to see this. I am grateful for the surgeon’s skills which have helped me several times, the most recent a neurosurgeon performed C4-7 ACDF a few months ago and immediately fixed a painful problem

Really nice images. Brings back memories (when I was a family physician in an extremely rural area - an hour to the nearest traffic light - I would frequently assist our sole general surgeon). The composition and lighting really emphasizes the intense concentration required on the task at hand.

Medphotog,
You are quite right; it was an awesome profession and most gratifying. But, alas, times change. I'm glad you enjoyed the images and the trip down memory lane....

Two years ago I posted a series of images titled Surgeons at Work. The photos were taken in the operating room during what used to be my day job. The series here is a corollary work showing just the hands of surgeons, nurses, and scrub techs doing what they do.
Looks interesting. The operation appears to have been successful. BUT did the patient survive? . . .

By chance were you a member of the BPA?

Great series
I especially like the last image. The lighting really accent the hands.

Curious about the last image. I did lots of minilaps before I retired and we used those small retractors. Maybe an appendectomy in this one?
