Charlie C.O Eadmon
Easmon gained his degree for the University of Edinburgh in 1935. He is know as the father of Cardiac surgery in Ghana and is famous for providing free to patients.
Vivien Theodore Thomas (August 29, 1910 – November 26, 1985) was an American laboratory supervisor who developed a procedure used to treat blue baby syndrome (now known as cyanotic heart disease) in the 1940s. He was the 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. He served as supervisor of the surgical laboratories at Johns Hopkins for 35 years. In 1976 Hopkins awarded him an honorary doctorate and named him an instructor of surgery for the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. 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. A PBS documentary Partners of the Heart, was broadcast in 2003 on PBS's American Experience. In the 2004 HBO movie, Something the Lord Made, Vivien Thomas was portrayed by Mos Def.
Last night I went to check on my baby that had her surgery the other day, she’s still intubated (no surprise there) and looked like she was having a bit of a rough night, so I didn’t bother her or the nurses caring for her. I’ll check in again later in my work week.
The baby that moved into her room is a chunky, little Trisomy 21 baby that is also having cardiac surgery (he's scheduled for next week). He is the cutest little thing and usually really happy. The only time he struggle buses is when he’s trying to poop, but I helped him out with a little 1/2 of a pediatric glycerin suppository around midnight and that fixed him right up. His mom is super nice and lovely. I’ve hit the parental jackpot again. This won’t keep happening, I’m going to get another shitty parent again at some point.

You would think that when a doctor schedules an urgent case on the weekend, they'd be on time.
Not so. 40 minutes past in room time and we're still waiting for the doc.
