Description

In a white-tiled-lined room with a white tile floor, two surgeons and an anesthetist attend to a patient while a nurse watches from near the back of the room. The surgeons wear caps, gowns, and masks; the anesthetist wears a lab coat, shirt and tie but no mask; the nurse wears cap and gown but no mask. A white porcelain sink stands against the left wall; a white painted iron shelving unit stands against the far wall with linens and other supplies. Swinging louvered doors fill the doorway into the room. A nurse stands behind the doors, her skirt hem and white shoes visible.
