Abstract:
A hospital scene with health care workers and patients. In the foreground is a woman in a body bag being tended to by 2 other women. Many crows surround them on the floor. Behind them to the left are 3 beds, each labeled, "HIV," with patients in them. One doctor holds an aerosol can that says, "Off". To the right is a patient in a bed labeled "HCV". The patient's skin color is yellow. A doctor sits next to the bed and holds his hand to the patient's head. Behind the beds is a secured area called, "TB Ward" where doctors can be seen with masks covering their mouths and patients coughing. On the door to the ward it says, "airbourne precautions".
