Vivien Theodore Thomas (August 29, 1910 – November 26, 1985) was an African-American surgical technician who developed the procedures used to treat blue baby syndrome in the 1940s. He was an assistant to surgeon Alfred Blalock in Blalock's experimental animal laboratory at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee and later at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Without any education past high school, Thomas rose above poverty and racism to become a cardiac surgery pioneer and a teacher of operative techniques to many of the country's most prominent surgeons. Vivien Thomas was the first African American without a doctorate degree to perform open heart surgery on a white patient in the United States. Originally Posted by brookebell

The scene where they were operating on the baby had me on the edge of my seat. I loved it where the doctor took the bull by the horns and paged Vivien, that he needed him in surgery. When the baby turned pink, it was all I could do to keep from crying.................all hell.............I cried................ It was also inspirational to my wife as at one time she was a pediatric nurse, so she had closer ties to the movie than I did. Where the movie explained to me how difficult the surgery was, she already knew.

We need more movies like this, and I'm grateful for you posting about this movie.

brooke and I watched that movie together... it is indeed astonishing and emotional. Not only was Vivien Thomas a great man who invented astonishing surgical techniques with no formal training, but Mos Def was the perfect actor to play him... brilliant!

my daughter's fav 5

I love The Hands that God Made,Mos Def was amazing. I saw it a few years ago and really thought he deserved some recognition for the role. BTW The first pic from Sliver with her up against the pole,mmm one of the most erotic scenes so much I got to make that fantasy come true Voyeur,Exhibition films I love besides Sliver
Wild Orchid
9 1/2 Weeks is still one of the sexiest movies that I mus not watch alone

Sonny-James Franco was awesome,if you like Indie films check it out. He is a provider that was raised by his Madam mother to be the best. Mena Suvari is his doubles partner!
