<p>This anatomical model was about to be discarded as rubbish when the photographer decided to rescue it and take one last photograph to honour the service it provided to medical students in Trinity College Dublin.  The photographer back-lit the model to provide a certain effect and therefore the model looks to be sleeping or taking a rest in a chair after a weary day. Photograph 19th June 2014</p>
