Lights! Scalpel! Action!

Medicine and the Silver Screen

London Walk, Sunday May 31^st 1.45pm

Starting at one of the world’s oldest medical institutions and cutting through perhaps its most famous clinical district, Harley Street, we go on location to find the characters from Doctors Watson and Caligari to ‘The Elephant Man’ and stories from the ‘The Madness of King George’ to ‘The King’s Speech’ that have made physicians and the flicks inseparable for over a century.

Along the way, we ask why the movies are more often interested in depicting scandal and sexual intrigue than surgery and serious medical practice…

Please e-mail Paul Heatley at info@westhertsmedsoc.org if you would like to come. Tickets £16 per person.
