The painting, “Contemplation Before Surgery” is among Dr. Joe Wilder’s most well known, and shows a surgeon in scrubs gathering his thoughts before operating on a patient.
I have tried in my surgical paintings to portray the surgeon dedicated, caring, hard working individual I have observed by the thousands in my thirty-five year career as a Chief and Professor of Surgery. Still, my Surgeon series is but an extension of the joys I have experienced ‘as a Surgeon’. “ Joe Wilder M.D.
Contemplation Before Surgery
“It is here, at this moment, in the midst of the quiet bustle of the operating arena, that the surgeon stands alone, hands clasped in the classic aseptic position, in a loneliness only he can know.
He he stands in contemplation, in prayer of supplication. It is now that he brings to bear all his knowledge, skill, and expertise in the service of another person.”
