A cool darkened examination room in a London hospital, heavy curtains drawn, a thermal imaging apparatus one and a half metres high on four castors, all painted pale mint green, a box-shaped base carrying a desk with a plain pale dial and a bare pointer, a green and a yellow pilot lamp glowing, beside it a slanting tower with a domed hood and a long flaring funnel reaching out sideways with a chrome grip bar, aimed at an empty couch spread with a smooth white sheet, a hand in a white coat sleeve turning a knob, a paper sheet sliding from a front slot with soft grey mottled patches, one low lamp.
