Dr. Zbigniew Religa, a Polish cardiac surgeon, and a nurse, both exhausted after a 23-hour heart transplant; the first in Poland’s history. (I don’t know much about the story beyond that.)
It’s a classic and has been featured on various lists of most influential photos.
To me this photo honors technical mastery, perseverance and the miracle of modern medicine.

The film of this event is great too: ‘Bogowie’ director Łukasz Palkowski.
