Focus on The 'Finger-Assisted' Nephrectomy of Professor Nadey Hakim and discuss the Background.
Henry Ward had always wanted to recreate Rembrandt's The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp. With the co-operation of Nadey Hakim, he planned to recreate the painting using the modern presidents and key members of the International College of Surgeons in order to highlight the global requirement for live, legal, organ donors. Hakim, who Ward had met when they were both members of the British Red Cross's International Fundraising Committee in 2004, already knew of the painting and had used it on the cover of one of his medical papers.
