'I photograph really gross things'
A medical photographer has spoken to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ about her career capturing images of disease, injury, surgery and occasionally death.
Martha Whiffen, 27, is based at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge and has won a number of awards for her work.
The photos, which often require a strong stomach, are used for a variety of medical research purposes.
"Sometimes I do have to photograph some really gross things," she said.
"Any time of day you could be called into theatre and photographing patients having their limbs cut off."
