Tourist Attractions & Anatomical Graphics

Robert Whitaker is a retired Paediatric Urologist from Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge who now teaches clinical anatomy at Cambridge University; he has a special interest in anatomical illustration, as shown in some of these images.
Early in 2019, the College gardens flooded and gave me an opportunity to catch the reflections of the chapel and buildings in the flood water.

"Vesicoureteric Reflux 1990" (ink & watercolour)
view full-screen version
This diagram of severe vesico-ureteral reflux is taken from a little book of “Congenital Anomalies of the Urinary Tract” that was donated to every urologist in the UK in 1990. The occasional copy still turns up but it has been out of print since then.
