Perspectives  (2014)

Oil on canvas

 

A view from the patient's perspective on receiving medical care. Complete strangers in white coats enter the personal space of a human being when most vulnerable with illness and fear. 

​

"They ask very personal and embarrassing questions. They poke and probe. They listen with their stethoscope". 

​

A reminder to listen with the heart and to look with glasses of compassion.
