Doctors and nurses from the United States appear in Japan in this glass negative, though the record gives no date, names, or location beyond the caption. The title comes from notes written by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that sold news pictures to newspapers in the early 1900s, and the caption has not been verified. The Bain collection holds many images of this kind, made quickly for daily publication, so the plate reflects the agency's working practice as much as the event itself. Viewers should treat the subject as the photographer's description rather than a confirmed account.
