King Edward VII Sanatorium, Midhurst, West Sussex: a surgical operation as envisaged by the patient. Drawing by Adrian Hill, 1939.

"A minor operation consequent on the surgical treatment. Certain abstract sensations were remembered during the operation. My nurse holding my hand--the surgeon looming up like a sapient white ghost--my own set smile, detached and hovering in front of my eyes--the heat and pressure--vague rhythmic shapes--sharp whispers like birds chirruping--muffled activity--and little drops of warm brandy"--Hill, op. cit.
