Weirdheadmystttt Can you identify this? The Stanford UNiversity School of Medicine posted a "Medical Mysteries" set to Flickr. These are photos that the Lane Medical Archive has no information about: what/who is seen in the photos, what exactly they're doing, etc. Can you help?

    I work at Stanford’s main campus library, and I’m always sending and receiving books from the Lane Medical Library. It’s so weird to suddenly see that name up on BoingBoing.
