    Amusing view of the medical profession :)

    Intriguing view, making one wonder what was being done for what reason.

    Charles Darwin (the guy on the left) was studying facial expressions. Pictures of the guy on the right appeared in Darwin's book "On the Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals".
