In the realm of medical occupation, a tapestry of history and divine intervention weaves together. From ancient times to modern advancements, healers have emerged as the guiding hands in our journey towards well-being. Like Trimurti - Siva, Vishnu, Krishna - Hindu Gods embodying creation, preservation, and destruction, medical professionals embrace their roles with unwavering dedication. They navigate through the complexities of human anatomy like Flemish anatomist Andreas Vesalius did in 1543 when giving a lesson at the school of medicine in Brussels. As depicted in "On the Mode of Communication of Cholera" lithograph from 1855, doctors tirelessly strive to unravel mysteries that plague societies. Their tireless efforts are mirrored by Sir William Gull's portrait from "Eminent Victorians, " showcasing his commitment to advancing medical knowledge. The canvas holds stories too; "Lady at the Doctors I" captures vulnerability and hope intertwined within every patient's heart. Meanwhile, La Fontaine's Fables remind us that even literature recognizes doctors' wisdom and influence on society. Yet amidst these noble pursuits lies Ned Kelly in Melbourne Gaol Hospital – a reminder that even outlaws seek solace under compassionate care during their darkest hours. Christ himself sought counsel among doctors as seen in both "Christ among the Doctors" oil paintings on panel and canvas. Homage is paid to pioneers such as Louis Pasteur whose groundbreaking discoveries revolutionized medicine forever. A vibrant oil painting titled "Homage to Louis Pasteur" immortalizes his contributions for generations to come. Finally, miniature illustrations depicting Judgement of Mothers and Arrival of Queen Sheba symbolize how healthcare transcends borders and cultures – uniting humanity under one common goal: healing. From ancient gods overseeing life's intricate dance to modern-day heroes battling diseases with science as their sword – this captivating glimpse into medical occupation reminds us that behind every sore sick individual lies an army dedicated to restoring health, hope, and happiness.
