Wayfaring MD

I like to highlight the hilarious in medicine as I write about patients, medical school, residency, medical missions, and whatever else strikes my fancy. Oh yeah, and I like to use GIFs!

And for the 5,000th time, let me clarify that I am female.

Have you seen this movie? Have you? Because if you like medicine and good movies, you should watch this. Just sayin’.  The Netflix description: Something The Lord Made: This Emmy-winning HBO film based on a true story follows white surgeon Alfred Blalock (Alan Rickman) and his black assistant, Vivien Thomas (Mos Def), who teamed in the 1940s to develop a procedure to save children suffering from a heart defect-Tetralogy of Fallot. But Thomas’s status as a second-class citizen prevented him from getting recognition, as Blalock took all the credit. Their relationship, while close, was complicated by the social realities of the time.
