Partners of the Heart: Vivien Thomas and His Work With Alfred Blalock
  DETAILS
Visitors to the Blalock Building at the Johns Hopkins University Medical Center are greeted by portraits of two great men. One; of renowned heart surgeon Alfred Blalock; speaks for itself. The other; of highschool graduate Vivien Thomas; is testimony to the incredible genius and determination of the first black man to hold a professional position at one of Americas premier medical institutions.
Thomass dreams of attending medical school were dashed when the Depression hit. After spending some time as a carpenters apprentice; Thomas took what he expected to be a temporary job as a technician in Blalocks lab. The two men soon became partners and together invented the field of cardiac surgery.
Partners of the Heart is Thomass extraordinary autobiography. Trained in laboratory techniques by Alfred Blalock and Joseph W. Beard; Thomas remained Blalocks principal technician and laboratory chief for the rest of Blalocks distinguished career. Thomas very rapidly learned to perform surgery; to do chemical determinations; and to carry out physiologic studies. He became a phenomenal technician and was able to carry out complicated experimental cardiac operations totally unassisted and to devise new ones.
In addition to telling Thomass life story; Partners of the Heart traces the beginnings of modern cardiac surgery; crucial investigations into the nature of shock; and Blalocks methods of training surgeons.Delivery PolicyPLEASE ENQUIRE ABOUT STOCK BEFORE ORDERINGI do not carry stock.
