EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the essence of a medical emergency as it showcases a digital thermometer displaying an elevated body temperature. Held delicately in the hand of a teenage girl, the device reveals a reading of 38.60 degrees Celsius, surpassing the normal range for human body temperature which typically falls between 36 and 37 degrees Celsius. The image sheds light on the condition known as fever or pyrexia, where an increase in body temperature aids in combating bacterial or viral infections. The adolescent's pale complexion hints at her discomfort caused by this heightened state. The photograph highlights both the advancements in technology and its role in healthcare. The digital thermometer serves as a diagnostic tool, enabling individuals to measure their own temperatures accurately and conveniently. With its focus on detail, this snapshot emphasizes not only the individual's physical state but also raises awareness about self-diagnosis and personal health management. It reminds viewers that even young people can be affected by infectious diseases and need proper care. Lea Paterson skillfully captures this moment with her lens, showcasing how science intersects with everyday life through medical equipment like thermometers. This thought-provoking image prompts us to reflect on our own well-being while appreciating modern innovations that aid us during times of illness or uncertainty.
