Ryan Brewster is a fourth-year medical student at the Stanford University School of Medicine. His piece explores the fleeting moments of calm before a surgical procedure. The figure lies on the OR table, bathed in light with arms splayed out like the crucifixion. This image evokes an almost religious scene and it reminds us - the patient is sacred.
