In 1920 Dr RD Lawrence was an aspiring surgeon when he developed diabetes, then tantamount to a death sentence. Three years later, having been saved by insulin, he wrote The Diabetic Life which extended to 14 editions and was published in manylanguages. This book records what came before; his strong Aberdonian background and his glittering academic career. It outlines the crashing of his hopes and evokes the drama of his turning point, the discovery of insulin, so well described as 'one of those incredible moments in medical history where a new treatment literally raises people from the dead'. It records the powerful lessons he learned from his own sometimes painful experiences of reclaiming his life - discoveries that will grip the imagination of the reader. We learn the many ways in which he sought to communicate his understanding and success to others confronted with a diagnosis of diabetes.

Until recently the tools and approach of the surgeon had changed little; with the advent of anaesthesia, better understanding of the disease process, scientific evaluation and sophisticated technology, the art of surgery has been transformed. The artist has been challenged to capture not only a moment in time, but also the dramatic advances and the impact on the patient. By bringing together images recorded over the ages, the similarities and evolution of surgery can be appreciated. The Fine Art of Surgery attempts to represent a selection of styles, situations and techniques used to capture one of the most feared and celebrated of human interactions.
