Description: | Artist's description: "The piece is centred round the patient and recreates some of the work experiences undertaken by health care professionals and illustrates their interaction with the patient through the operating theatre and ward duties. Throughout the painting are scattered familiar medical artefacts, some of which connect to the students' education, such as a half anatomical figure and Sim Baby, which also represents maternity and care of sick children. The work is hugely complex and I have tried to create a maelstrom of different activities all happening at the same time, as it is in the hospital. The majority of material used comes from my research at Foresterhill, the Medical School and the Anatomy Department at Marischal College. To further strengthen the link to Aberdeen, there is a small section behind the patient's bed, which includes the top of King's College, the North Pier, a supply boat and a helicopter." The painting is made up of three panels slotted together.
