Split image showing two gloved hands gripping stacks of hundred-dollar bills. The left side, in sepia tones, features muddy gloves suggesting early 20th-century medical practice. The right side, in muted blue tones, shows a modern surgical glove stained with dried blood. The filtered effect softens the image while evoking a shared legacy of corruption in medicine.
