EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the 15th century depicts a momentous event in medical history - the trephining of a patient. The monochrome image, with its intricate details and stark contrast, transports us back to an era where surgical care was still in its infancy. In this historical snapshot, we witness a team of dedicated individuals gathered around the patient, their faces filled with determination and expertise. The surgeon holds his instrument firmly, ready to perform the delicate procedure on the patient's skull. This ancient practice known as trephining involved drilling or cutting holes into the skull to treat various ailments. The significance of this woodcut lies not only in its artistic value but also in its portrayal of early healthcare practices. It serves as a reminder of how far medicine has come since then and highlights our continuous quest for advancements in healthcare. As we gaze upon this black and white masterpiece, we are transported back through time, gaining insight into the challenges faced by medical professionals centuries ago. It is an intriguing glimpse into an era when surgical interventions were performed with limited knowledge and resources.
