An obese doctor in a dressing gown and slippers stands in the center looking right at a group of three male patients, all elderly and with diseased and contorted faces. He hands a small bowl to one patient; medical supplies are laid out on the table at his side as well as on the floor near the table. Another patient while another leaves the room leaning on a crutch. In the background two women in obvious pain await their turn; behind them, an open cupboard reveals a skeleton
