brief title

We are looking into the face of a young unidentified male patient before his wisdom tooth extraction procedure at the famous St. Bartholomews (Barts) Hospital in London, England. His eyelids have been taped shut, lying unconscious on his back with his head supported, prepped for this brief operation. Surrounding him is various medical equipment including anaesthetic gas that is fed through his nose by plastic tubes. it is spotlessly clean in this operating room, carefully, avoiding infection or bacterial problems like MRSA. Barts is Britain’s oldest hospital – founded in 1123 - and boasts a progressive policy of encouraging day-surgery for out-patients allowing patients to return home soon after their minor operations.
