Looking Back: A quick but life-changing op
In 2015, at Peterborough City Hospital, I took this image of a cataract operation for the large mural in the outpatients corridor and my NHS book Just Be Kind, writes street photographer Chris Porsz.
Many readers will have had this life changing operation – which only takes around 20 minutes – to replace a cloudy lens with a plastic one, and has its origins in sixth century India!
The second image shows medical photographer Patrick Clynch, who was at the old PDH and then PCH for many years and is now retired, enjoying playing bongos in a local band.
