A surgeon-style scene of a doctor and patient on an operating or examination table gives this glass negative its focus, and the caption identifies the doctor as Dr. Secord, a missionary physician to Native American people. The record does not give a date or location, and the title comes from caption data the Bain News Service recorded and that has not been independently verified. George Grantham Bain's agency circulated news and feature photographs in New York from about 1900 into the 1920s, so the image likely reflects the period's interest in mission medicine and frontier health care. Viewers may want to compare it with other Bain negatives to place it in time.
