Dissection Room at a Medical School, Bordeaux, France, 1890
Photographer unknown, Gelatin silver print
The study of anatomy separated laypersons from physicians. The public was excluded from the anatomy hall, which was the inner sanctum of physicians. This photograph comes from a type of formal album produced at the end of the 19th century. Such albums heralded the rise of medical schools and hospitals as places of learning and healing.

Incredible pic.
Surgeon Bruno Dehaye, M.D., adjusts a lamp in the operating room at the Kompong Cham refugee camp.
“It is our duty as humans and doctors to assist and bear witness for peoples in danger of death, whether their governments approve or not.” In countries where basic health care is hard to come by even in peacetime, the care of the wounded is an immense challenge during war. Toward this end a small group of French doctors banded together in 1971 under the name Médecins Sans Frontières - Doctors Without Borders. The organization now sends some 800 physicians, nurses, and medics to alleviate the world’s crises every year.
