Three brilliant individuals from different backgrounds (a white male surgeon, white female physician, and African American male laboratory technician) combined their unique skills and revolutionized pediatric heart treatment. In 1944, the success of the first “blue baby operation” catapulted these trailblazers to fame and marked them as pioneers in cardiac surgery. Beginning with a strong introduction, which explains what will be covered in the following chapters, this volume takes readers along as three great minds labored, clashed, and cooperated to save children’s lives. Diagrams, photos, and reproductions break up the text, while back matter provides a chronology, glossary, and a wealth of further resources.
