Hi Aaron,
No comment on the first photo. But the second.

No you don't want to focus on the patient's eyes, he's not looking at what's
going on. He's off acting to some other person and not to the main action of
the picture. Besides he has a stupid expression on his face inrelation to
your caption of "sutures being removed."

Besides the strength of the picture is in the foreground, the hands of the
doctor/nurse removing the sutures. I'd have cropped it to remove the
patient's eyes and his mouth, an impossible task in this picture.

Therefore I'd have found a better angle or moved right in tight on the
important element... the hands doing their thing.
