"The more we know" 

This work symbolises the accelerating complexity of medical knowledge and practice from 1862 to 2012.  

Enhanced ways of observing the body and probing the mind expand our understanding of human health, the doctor as carer is constant.

Commissioned by a group of 1972 graduates in commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of the Melbourne Medical School
