The media box above showcases art and other creative works related to medicine, and will change themes periodically.

Currently on display are paintings by Jose Perez, an artist who has depicted the various physician specialities with good humor, irreverence, or ridicule depending on how you interpret his strokes.

As described by the National Library of Health collection: "At first glance, it may appear that some of Perez' art treats too disrespectfully those who do so much to preserve life and health. But his satire is intended to prod the viewer to question and think about many of the more serious issues confronting our health-care system today."
