ROBERT THOM. susruta

ROBERT THOM. Sushruta, or Susruta ("well heard") was an ancient Indian physician, known as the main author of the treatise The Compendium of Susruta. The Mahabharata, an ancient Indian epic text, represents him as a son of Vishvamitra, which coincides with the present recension of Sushruta Samhita.  Kunjalal Bhisagratna opined that it is safe to assume that Sushruta was of the clan of Vishvamitra. He is widely considered in popular literature as the "father of Indian surgery".  A painting from a series made for schools of the history of the medical profession.  Robert Alan Thom (March 4, 1915 in Grand Rapids, Michigan – December 31, 1979 in Alma, Michigan) was an American illustrator who specialized in the portrayal of historical scenes for commercial patrons. He is perhaps best known for his series of 40 paintings depicting the history of pharmacy, and his series of 45 paintings depicting the history of medicine, both commissioned by Parke-Davis.
