I recently spent a morning photographing vascular surgery for Siemens, a company that makes state of the art CT scanners and monitoring equipment for operating rooms. The full body scanner in the operating room rotates around the operating table to give a detailed 3D image of the patient.
The first operation I photographed many years ago was a procedure on a young boy's eyes, by coincidence at the same hospital. But boy, what a difference 30 some years makes. Today's operating rooms are bright, sleek, advanced spaces that are light years ahead of their predecessors; chocked full of the latest technology with soothing nature images in high definition covering one wall.
At the end of the procedure, a nurse showed me the blockage taken from the man's artery in his neck, a small lump in the palm of her hand. Leaning in she whispered, "That's the result of a lot of french fries."
