Stabbing His Own Heart

Werner Theodor Otto Forssmann, a German surgical trainee in 1929, is famous for an experiment he performed on himself. Without any direction, he put himself under local anesthetic, incised a hole in his arm and pushed a catheter all the way up his limb and shoved it into his heart. He performed the procedure on himself with two feet of cable after which he walked to the X-ray room. He was fired after this stunt, but was awarded the 1956 Nobel Prize for Medicine for developing a procedure that allowed for cardiac catheterization. (Source)

😳. That is the last way I would have guessed the cath was invented. Wow.

There is a fine line between crazy and genius.

This has been my life for the past 48 hours... I have a biochem exam in 1 hour, organic chem tomorrow, then a full weekend of work at the hospital, service learning and MCAT studying!

For those of you who don’t know, I’m a member of Alpha Kappa Psi which is a co-ed professional business fraternity. This organization has helped shape me as a person in many ways; from interview skills and resume building to fostering leadership by being our chapters president. If your school has an Alpha Kappa Psi chapter and you are interested in the field of medicine I highly recommend you check it out!

I’m so lucky to live in Monterey

MCAT studying has pretty much taken over my life… I just tell myself to keep calm, study hard, and drink more coffee😂☕️ My shirt says “Keep on striving” and I wear it as motivation! You can get your own from “the strive to fit”, one of my favorite medical based social media presences! Follow her on instagram or subscribe to her YouTube channel @thestrivetofit, you won’t regret it!

My favorite snack when I’m on break and it’s a busy night in the ER!

A change in scenery for today’s MCAT studying... and bonus; I’m getting some much needed coffee before a night shift in the emergency room!
