The beauty is peerless and independent: counting the great women in the medical field

They rewrote the medical history

Opener: Blackwell

Nowadays, female doctors have set aside half of medicine, but 100 years ago, the medical profession was hard to see. Elizabeth Blackwell (1821~1910) was the first in the world to get M. D. For women with a degree in medicine, the door to medicine has since opened to women.

As Blackwell himself said: "It is not easy to be a pioneer, but it is very fascinating!" Despite being well educated, Blackwell was rejected by 16 medical schools, including Harvard University and Yale University, due to gender. Eventually, she entered the Geneva Medical School in New York and graduated with the highest class score. At the age of 47, she founded the first women's medical school in the United States.

"Lighting Goddess": Nightingale

佳人绝世而独立:盘点医疗领域的伟大女性

Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) was the world's first real female nurse, pioneering the cause of nursing, known as the Lady of the Lamp. Today, the symbol of the name Nightingale has long exceeded her.

Nightingale’s merits may not lie in the specific number of wounded soldiers saved, but in the beginning of the trend, the nurse’s social status will be improved, and more middle and high class women will be able to enter this field. Thanks to her spare no effort, the medical care quality of the British and overseas battlefields has improved significantly. This has not only improved the situation of patients, but also changed the history of writing medical care.

"Magic" Destroyer: Tao Sige

At the end of the 19th century, the Western medical science community generally believed that a child who was worried about congenital heart malformation surpassed the limit of surgery. "Father of Surgery" Bill Roth has ever had a "curse": "Exercising in the heart is a paralysis of surgical art. Anyone who is trying to undergo cardiac surgery will be defeated."

However, Helen Brooke Taussig (1898-1986) broke this "magic". She and the surgeon, Blakelock, teamed up to create the Blair-Tausig diversion, marking the beginning of modern cardiac surgery. Tausig is also the first female professor in the history of Hopkins University.

Newborn patron: Apgar

Each of us had experienced an Apgar Score within 60 seconds of the fall of the ground before being sent to the mother's arms. This score has quietly guarded the lives and health of hundreds of millions of babies.

Virginia Apgar (1909-1974) was the founder of the scoring system. Once, a medical student asked Apga, from which aspects of the newborn should be evaluated, she thought for a moment, "This is easy, you can do it," then grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down Five aspects of observation and evaluation, and asked the student to go to the obstetrics immediately. This is the Apgar score, which has been used as a standard for newborn health. She is also the first female full professor at Columbia University's School of Internal and External Medicine.

The originator of burn treatment: Jane Kovik

Zora Janzekovic (1918-2015) is known as the "originator of burn treatment." She saved tens of thousands of burn patients during the turmoil in Slovenia in the 20th century. She advocates early removal of burn areas and flap transplantation to treat burns, and for the treatment of deep dermis burns, formed the gold standard for burn care.

Her long medical career runs through the turbulent 20th century in Maribor, Slovenia, and she is committed to saving the lives of burn patients. It can be said that Jane Kovik has led the development of clinical treatment of the entire burn.
