Happenings at and around Meerkat Meade
Meerkat Meade is the home of costumer/collector Thomas G. Atkinson and writer Don Sakers. It houses an extensive print library and video collection, as well as The Star Toys Museum: a stupendous collection of Star Wars, Star Trek, and other science fiction toys and memorabilia.
Meerkat Meade exists in order to foster the enjoyment and appreciation of science fiction and fantasy artforms; to promote the admiration of the splendid species Mesocricetus auratus; and to serve as the nucleus of a creative community producing quality work in the sf/fantasy fields.
Meerkat Meade draws its name from Meerkat, the mascot and symbol of the literary coterie known as the Cedar Grove Movement, and from Meade, an archaic form of the word "meadow."

Very reassuring I am sure.
Is that.... trepanning?
I supposed I'm glad to know s/he has an appropriate appreciation of the history of medicine, but still.
Trepanning is exactly what that is. We weren't sure if the painting said what the doctors wanted it to say. Yeah, it's neurosurgery, sort of, but... how far have we really come from just cutting holes in people's heads?
When I first saw this print, I was reminded of Taylor Caldwell and Dear and Glorious Physician. I am almost positive it was the procedure described in the novel.
