In addition to describing this operation and the other accomplishments of these individuals, the book highlights the social and personal conflicts that shaped and sometimes hindered their work and that of other scientists during that era. 505 0 $a Three beginnings -- Lifesaving research -- Chief of surgery -- Blue babies -- Royal progress -- Heart surgery comes of age -- Late honors. 600 10 $a Blalock, Alfred, $d 1899-1964. 600 10 $a Taussig, Helen B. $q (Helen Brooke), $d 1898-1986. 600 10 $a Thomas, Vivien T., $d 1910-1985. 650 0 $a Heart surgeons $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Pediatric cardiology $x History. 830 0 $a Trailblazers in science and technology. 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006063822.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5BDE4E3E65F411E2A9CE16ACDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
