EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "When doctors disagree - we shall see at the post mortem" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of medicine and its challenges. Created by an anonymous English School artist, this engraving captures a humorous yet thought-provoking scene from Pick-Me-Up magazine in July 1897. The image depicts a sickbed surrounded by doctors who are engaged in a lively debate. The patient's condition seems critical, and their fate hangs in the balance as these medical professionals grapple with differing opinions on diagnosis and treatment. With wry humor, this artwork suggests that sometimes it is only through autopsy or post-mortem examination that doctors can truly determine what went wrong. Beyond its comedic value, this engraving sheds light on the complexities of medical science during that era. It highlights how even well-educated physicians faced difficulties reaching consensus when faced with challenging cases. Moreover, it reminds us of the importance of open-mindedness and collaboration within healthcare to ensure accurate diagnoses and effective treatments. "When doctors disagree - we shall see at the post mortem" serves as both an amusing comic strip and a reflection on historical medical practices. It invites viewers to ponder how far medicine has come since then while acknowledging that uncertainties still exist within healthcare today. This intriguing artwork offers valuable insights into our ongoing quest for understanding illness and preserving human life.
