- Alfred Blalock (1899-1964), a cardiologist (therefore, self-confident to the point of arrogance), leaves Vanderbilt for Johns Hopkins taking with him his lab technician, Vivien Thomas (1910-1985). Thomas, an African-American without a college degree, is a gifted mechanic and tool-maker with hands splendidly adept at surgery. In 1941, Blalock and Thomas take on the challenge of blue babies and invent bypass surgery. After trials on dogs, their first patient is baby Eileen, sure to die without the surgery. In defiance of custom and Jim Crow, Blalock brings Thomas into the surgery to advise him, but when Life Magazine and kudos come, Thomas is excluded. Will he receive his due?

Thank You
This movie is so powerful, I shared it with my son, who now is attending the same school to become a cancer specialist, all I could say I’m a proud black mother thank you Jesus ❤
His gonna be a great doctor
Congrats! I commend you for being a great parent raising a son to become cancer specialist not to mention in one of the toughest medical schools to get in.
I pray God bless your son on his journey to specializing in cancer🤍congratulations!!!
❤
Congratulations
Because of Dr Vivien Thomas, my mother had successful open heart surgery in 1966
Excellent! Praise God🎉❤
Wow!
@@covenanteforuoku3158 Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, GA
She was born with a valve defect. I was ten.
Still unpacking her showing me her scars and wonder often if her experiences are why I'm terrified of doctors.
She had good care .I have not and am still searching for my childhood medical records.
❤
Praise the Lord. I was born in that year 1966
No one can take away the gift the Lord has put inside of you.
Really? So the Lord has also made people without any gifts, all kinds of bad people, murderers.
Thank you Lord for making our lives such a misery .
This movie is a testament to God's gifts. If you use them to glorify him, HE will reward you. If you wait for man to reward you, it will leave you bitter and angry. The fact remains that Dr Thomas , through his humility, used the gifts GOD gave him, to save lives and teach other doctors to save more lives. This is a true blessing .
Thank you for those words.. I will remember them as I knew them in theory.. but I can relay a better message to the real rewards to being alive and to our Purpose to our life an the Suffering therin!! 🎉❤🎉😊😊
Did I like this movie?
No. I LOVED IT!❤😊
I loved it God said do what you do and do it to the best of your ability and he will reward you when the day comes.
Amen
Wanting to glorify God as well. helpful advice too, praise God!
Mos Def…. Is definitely an underrated Actor!! He’s brilliant in every movie I’ve seen him in . 👏🏽👏🏽
Yes he is!!
Agreed!
He was fantastic! Wow!
His music is Phenomenal too. ❤
Yes he definitely is a great actor
I'm in awe of Dr. Thomas. The way that man handled himself with such grace, poise, and humility, in and out of that operating room, despite everything he had been through, was just incredible (for lack of a better term). Everyone has a heart, but his was truly Something The Lord Made. Rest peacefully, Dr. Thomas, and thank you. It's a shame we didn't give you your flowers when it actually counted.
What a beautiful and very truthful comment.
Xx be Bt
You just gave him his flowers. He heard you. 😊
Oh he got his flowers , he taught world famous heart surgeons like Denton Cooley
Yes, Dr Thomas was an amazing man, and so many of you keep mentioning about it being a shame that he did not get his flowers 💐 when alive, Guess what -many special people are not concerned about recognition from the World nor man’s adulation!!! Don’t you all get it??? That’s why he was able to focus and do exactly what the Lord had purposed & planned for him & he needed the other doctor- they were joined together for the for the greater good - both men admired each other & knew together they would solve the surgical problem in order to help those who needed it! Many lives were changed for the better due to these two men that made it their mission to stick with it through thick & thin- all the while dealing with the attacks of the devil, who is always out to steal, kill & destroy every good thing the LORD God gives us! Dr Thomas is enjoying his reward in Heaven! And a life of obedience to the LORD and following Jesus and His teachings & Word is the best each of us can do!
I’m 18 years old and Jesus saved my life now is time to worship the lord.
amen, he saved you for a reason, praise God he's working in your heart
@@juniperabbott2614Hallelujah!❤❤❤❤.
Hallelujah!❤❤❤❤.
BULLSHIT.
I had not seen this movie in a while it had me in tears again. Dr. Thomas didn't need to go to medical school he just needed to be in the right place and God taught him to be a doctor, sometimes you just need to be in the right place at the right time and God will do it the rest.
Hello Patricia, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Exactly!... In any case, who taught the first professor and Doctor?..which class in medical school did he go to or attend?... wasn't he bestowed that title "Doctor/Professor" without even going to medical school, rather, through his innovation?
This man Vivien Thomas was the classroom, lecture room and library himself!.…he didn't need to sit in a classroom!
It's gratifying that in the end he got recognized for his works!
Beautiful way to tell the story of the life of Dr. Thomas. I love that it's accessible. Spreading it far & wide
God is the Doctor in Jesus Christ name Amen, we work through his grace and mercy.
I am so impressed with the information laced with history and how being Black is an honor to the ability to survive in deep prejudice....I too am a survivor...Thank you.
👍
❤
This was an excellent film. So much humidity from lack man and so much arrogance from the white doctor. We still have a long way to go!
Beautifully stated!
Thank you
And I quote "It's not about you. It's about the work. I like the work." Now that's a calling from God right there. Indeed something the Lord himself made. I love this movie.
Absolutely, it's about the work.
Levels
What a beautiful,wonderful quote.🙏🏾 God has blessed his people to bless to the world that example is made clear in this video.
@@user-uw9uw4dd4m indeed.
Wow such a blessing
I'm so glad he received his recognition and honors while he was alive, Dr. Vivien Thomas 💯📃🥼🩺👏🏽we salute you!
I watched this in 2004 and never forgot it. Working in technology sometimes I would have to connect electronics without seeing with my eyes. I would see with my hands. When it would connect, I would smile and say Something the Lord Made. Now I will be going for a quadruple bypass on March 25th, 2024. Somehow mention of this movie came up today in the news and I watched it one more time. I will be benefitting from the Work of this man and thinking about Something the Lord made. Thank you, Dr Thomas.
May your surgery be successful, and may you recover quickly and completely.
Praying that your surgery was a great success and that you have a speedy recovery.
I hope your surgery went smoothly and you are recovering well. Blessings on your recovery.
I pray you’re recovering well and that your surgery was a success. God bless you and yours and please let us know how you are doing when you’re able.
Let us know how your surgery went. I pray it was successful.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Mos Def did a great job acting. 👏🏽
👍
He most certainly did! That was an amazing performance - perfect! So believable - Everyone the whole collective group did excellent work! I'm definitely spreading the Word about this incredible MOVIE that I have never heard of! They should be showing this in schools too like other great learning historical and stories based on actual people who did great things!
Mos is the truth
Love this movie because even though society doesn't recognize you God always does. And Dr Vivian finally got to see what God had put inside him and no one can take it away from you.
Amen! God honors the humble ❤
Amen 🙏🏽
Amen 🙏🏽
AMEN 🎉❤🎉HALELUJAH! GOD IS GOOD.
Amen
It's obvious to have compassion for Dr. Thomas. I believe Dr. Blalock was a good man, and Dr. Thomas would not have completed his mission on Earth without Dr. Blalock. They were soul mates and they loved each other. This was their journey. It's not about recognition. It was about saving lives. God saw fit to exalt Dr. Thomas when the time was perfect and profound. Bless them both. They couldn't have done anything without each other.
Hello Pretty, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Too many blacks were robbed of their contributions that’s a soul crushing experience that matters.
Spot on! Dr Blalock was an equally extraordinary man to have given Dr Thomas this chance in the first place. Such inspiration for us in the medical field as well!
@isashar7949, it's that line of thinking that will continue to keep blacks down. Seeking approval from society knowing it will never come instead of praising God for what they have. Everything in God's time. Not our own.
You are very wise to have discerned this wonderful and complex relationship between truly gifted men.
Oh God, I cried so much towards the end of the movie. Racism and prejudice have deprived many men and women of colour from getting the recognition they so deserve.
Outstanding Story of a great man with a gift from Heaven to save lives .
👍
An absolutely beautiful story of a man who had had a dream and a humble heart; served others for decades; and in the end, he was finally and truly honored.
Those who truly exalt and give glory to God for their talent and contribution to success testimonies, are truly exalted in heavens
Amen❤
"PERSISTENCE, COMMITMENT, DETERMINATION"❤
All glory comes to he.who wants on the Lord who truly gets the utmost glory. Hallelujah Amen ❤
was the best movie I ever watched ❤ Dr. VIVIAN THOMAS you are the greatest ❤️. Thanks Robert for sharing
My baby has benefited from the work these two doctors have pioneered. She had heart surgery in the first year of her life and is now in school healthy and well. Important to let God lead our life.
My grandson also at 2 days old. He was a blue baby. He's 19 now and wonderful.🙌✝️❤️ Praise the Lord for this wonderful man. ❤
umm... no. god will let you die.
Man can help make you live.
The professor and surgeon, Dr. Blaylock, should have spoken with the European university medical departments. I know there would have been at least one school that would have gladly and respectfully accepted and taught (Dr.) Vivien Thomas.
When people who behave and speak as if they deeply care and are respectful and grateful but refuse to become an activist for those who need it, it’s *so difficult and frustrating* to live with!
Holding others back is *wrong.*
When I walk through Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, I always take a moment at his statue. Impressive, indeed
So much was stolen from him; first his money than the recognition . But his humble heart didn't allow him to deny his given talent and Gods calling. Thank you Dr. Vivian Thomas for what you gave to mankind❤
While in the Army, I served as a Combat Medic and saved four lives, and that was the greatest feeling in the world!
Amen and Amen. We'll done. Thanks for sharing your testimony.
Amen! Thank you for your service.
Ooooo I love history and this is 2 of these people I never even heard of....
They made history together..... But I definitely surely didn't learn this in my high school history classes
What a amazing biography of a amazing man Dr Vivien Thomas who GOD had so
graciously gifted, it is so heartbreaking that he never made it to medical school. As
I'm sure he would have been a brilliant surgeon.
That tragedy pales in comparison to the synergistic work he & Dr Blaylock accomplished as they collaborated to save the lives of babies. Blaylock, while a brilliant man himself, couldn’t have done it alone.
As Joseph said in Scripture “what you meant for evil, God meant for good.” God’s Hand was on Vivien Thomas in a mighty way. V. Thomas actually was a brilliant surgeon; he taught others there at John’s Hopkins & in doing so, accomplished far more than a single Dr/surgeon could have.
Amen!!
😢he didn't make it to medical school coz he was wearing a black skin so sad
@@alicemwago11the whites in those days rejecting him was, sadly, expected. But the black college administrator? That had to hurt worse.
@@gailkshawit doesn't pale. It's a travesty that all those other doctors smiled being thanked for the work they didn't do.
Dream do come through. Dr vivien Thomas your journey is an inspiration to all most especially people of colors. ❤
When l was just a young woman working in the Radiology Department in Birmingham,Alabama in the 70’s l remember all the talk about how Drs were starting to operate on hearts and there was a Dr Blaylock from up East was working on perfecting it. When l happened on this movie l had no idea that this is what it was all about. Also that there was a Mr Thomas working along side Dr Blaylock. And l also see why now. l am also very glad and proud they finally recognized Mr Thomas for his hard work. I believe he was the smart on who really perfected heart surgery. I am also very glad he was given his due recognition before he died.
Sad to see that Thomas was not openly acknowledged by Dr Alfred.
This should be SHARED WORLD WIDE, it's. PURE AWSOME
so many well sai do not forget to share on social movie
social media
😊It is on the World Wide Web right here.
Thank you for the opportunity to see this wonderful movie. Dr. Vivien Thomas was a brilliant man and intellect. His grace and humility were beautiful. An amazing man, I'm sure his family was very proud of him, and justly so. As so often happens, the people so deserving of recognition for their huge contributions and innovations, never receive it or recieve it belatedly. RIP Dr Thomas.
Profoundly said
👍
Heartbreaking watching this brilliant, gifted young medical genius treated so poorly. He had so much to offer, but was stymied by lack of financial means, limited opportunity, bigotry, racism, snobbery and ignorance. It boggles the mind to think how much greater medical progress could have been accelerated if Vivienne had been afforded the educational opportunities he truly merited.
@@fayeeisener4359 Excellence at best! Blessed Mr. Vivian Thomas

What THE ALMIGHTY GOD cannot do doesn't exist, may HE help us never to give up on our dreams till they come to reality. AMEN🙏!
My cousin (the eldest of the large gang of us) was the first to survive this surgery beyond a year, then two and so on. He lived to be in his early thirties, married and had two children. He had numerous follow up surgeries and lived his life without ribs on the left side. (While it isn't shown in the film, the surgical procedure included the removal of the majority of the left rib cage.) His surgery took place about 8 years before I was born, but I remember looking through all of the articles from our local newspaper which showed me what a major event this was. I watched the film with deeply invested emotion, purchased the DVD and made certain my grown children viewed it, as well. My mother had open heart surgery in her eighties and all I could think of while sitting in the waiting room, was how my cousin had been a part of paving the way.
Thank you for sharing this. God's blessings to you and your loved ones...
Not enough appreciation for this wonderful story!!! Our almighty lord himself must be greatly pleased by him.
🙏
Love ❤️ The Movie. Saw It Before!!!🎉
Amazing story. It did sucked that he didn't get any recognition for the Blue baby operation research or got the chance to go to school but in those times what do u expect. I'm so glad the Dr. gave him a chance & trusted him being that he had no medical training. So happy he ended up doing what he loved to do in the end. We have so many smart, exceptional black people in the world.
He got recognized for that .
Do they still get to watch movies in school. This should be on the high school movie list.. very inspirational. Like the movie "Lean On Me".
Hello Debra, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Wow, what a wonderful man. Someday I'll shake his hand and thank him for the life of my grandson, Caleb. He was a blue baby. He's 19 now and on his way to becoming a good man. I praise God for Dr Vivian Thomas.
This movie is an epic documentation of a brilliant man's undauntable spirit in spite of rampant racism and economic collapse.This is a real masterpiece, a true-life account that will leave a lasting impression. Thank you so much for making it available.
What a powerful story! Thank you, Dr. Thomas! So many who came behind you, stand on your shoulders. Thank you!
Hello Melody, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
I watched this movie years ago and Mos Def was ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT in this movie. The depth and range of acting, and emotions were mesmerizing. He and Alan Rickman were the perfect match to tell this historic and ground-breaking medical story.
Hello Lindsay, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Yes Mos Def is a brilliant actor, and rapper
This was an excellent movie. I did not know about Dr. Vivien Thomas. What an amazing human being he was.
Hello Adrienne, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Reminds me of my dad. Had just about a sixth grade education; started out as janitor at a facility that makes (let’s say body parts) He’s a very skilled man - he built his own home. Precision was his pet peeve. He over heard coworkers one day trying to decide the right measurement to complete a task. He offered his two two cents. They were amazed. He was promoted to the tool room and later an A-grade mold maker; a position filled with trained craftsman.
I said to him: somebody is out there who has taken credit for that and made lots of $$$ off of what you showed them. They asked him if he were some kind of doctor.
“It’s never too late for a shower of rain.” It was grand to see him get the recognition.
Thank you for this testimony. As Native American, it encourages my faith to walk with our Lord Jesus Christ. Through perilous times, afflictions of powers, losing everything, persecution, and circumstances. God will show me why he brought me almost two thousand miles away from my homeland. You have given encouragement this day. Thank you.
We are G-D'S first made men... though we are hated, we were gifted from day one, if it wasn't for our ancestors rebellious, we would be fine today....
@@birdyelke775hiGod Bless
this would make a great film
He was an amazing man possessing God given talent, character, and intellect, a real blessing to mankind.
All I Did was Cry n Praise Dr.Vievien Thomas May The Most High be Pleased Amen Sleep King n Peace ❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾💙💜💙💜
This was so impactful to my big brother Ray was born a blue baby
This movie had me in tears. Filled me with pride. Great pride.
The end when they uncovered Vivien’s Picture was heartfelt… I felt that!
Even after acknowledging him they made his image within the picture smaller than the other pictures of medical professionals and intentionally hung it on a wall blocked constantly by an opening door. A protest was made to have it relocated to an honorable position. They initially tried to hang it within a lab or research area but those who had trained under Vivian Thomas pressed hard against the action.
An example of humility, wisdom, Patience to achieve one's goal. Thank you Dr Thomas😊
Hello Rose, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
In awe! His gift was AMAZING. He truly had gifted hands and a mind. His relationship with his doctor friend gave him insight of how to deal with a world that cannot get past color.
It was a partnership - and they acknowledged the need for each other - the unlikely duo til they realized they were better together and really needed and accomplished the great work to help all men, children who needed that surgery and to LIVE. Come on - great partnership! They had great respect and love for each other's greatness and heart & dedication to keep trying til they finally figured it out! Amazing!
Hello Sylvia, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
When everyone looks past color and open their eyes only then will one truly see what the Lord has made. Dr Vivien is an inspiration to me. Inspite of the obstacles and setbacks he continued to move forward doing the Lords work with such poise grace and class. He did what he had to do so that he could do what he really wanted to do. He wanted to save lives and that's what he did. It brought tears to my eyes that they didnt acknowledge him or give him his flowers when he really would've appreciated it the most. Dr Vivien Thomas thank you. ❤
🙏
I also cried....why life has to be like that. When u want something d most...you don't get it n time passes n to you cant not recover it. 😢
So true❤but in the end God honored him
Well That Doctor gave him the opportunity know matter the obstacles and the setback God always put things as well as people in place for mankind to use it to do what ever to God be the Glory 🙏🏽♥️
Normal racist behavior that we deal with daily.
One day the bigots will definitely regret. PROMISE you that.
Thank you for this movie, humility is better than pride, God bestowed more graces, and heavenly gift, to those Heart filled with Humbleness.
It’s a great movie, Bravo!!
Finally getting the credit he deserves!! It's all he ever wanted. To be acknowledged!!❤
Thank God Dr. Blalock took him under his wing and allowed him the ability to soar!🎉
This movie deserve many awards it' thed best movie I have seen in my existencia time glory to god amen😊❤❤
RIP Dr. Thomas. Thank you for your wonderful contributions to our society.
This made me cry, thankfully we've come a long way on race. For those who had to go through this, my heart goes out to you. God Bless
Had? Racism still exists today. Sad!
He was an amazing man vivian but it would be good to acknowledge what the white doctor did for vivian and how he helped vivian Thomas.
All i learn from this movie( true story) God time is right if you never give up and persistent despite all the negative and you will be rewarded. And thank you God for your amazing gift.
Beautiful story. I am very very happy for him. He’s so humble and blessed him.
What a great movie! I bawled my eyes out! I am so glad he finally got the recognition he deserved. We r all equal in the eyes of God🙏
Alan is british, the producers should have let him keep his british accent !!!! Much better and nicer, hearing his real voice, way of speaking. Excellent actor, Rickman. Those others too.
It's heart breaking to know that Mr. Vivian Thomas didn't get the opportunity to full fill his dream of becoming an actual doctor. The expertise and scientific gifts he had are unbelievable. One can only imagine if he was given the opportunity to go to college. However, he followed his heart & was given the recognition he deserved in the end. I am happy this American history along with so many others are documented.
Btw I’m 49 years old ❤
I’m very proud ❤
So true, there are many people today in the same circumstances as Dr. Thomas. They never get the chance to show their true abilities.
Yes because he didn’t have money to go neither could he joined the doctor photo even though he was the main one deserving to stand alongside dr.blalock . But I’m so glad he got his recognition from the hospital and else where and that all those doctors bare witness of him being present in that operation . Plus those in the lab.
He became a lab technician, Drs. Assistant Medical researcher , Teaching Surgeon in reality Mr is used to distinguish Dr. From Surgeons
Such a great movie.....we could all learn from this❤
These are the kind of movies I would watch anytime. A simply excellent movie.
This is one of my favorite movies❣️Another one is GIFTED HANDS, the story of Dr Ben Carson’s life as a surgeon❣️I am so very proud of “Dr” Vivien Thomas❣️Thank you so much for making these films available on RUclips❣️❣️❣️
I Am sooooooooo impress with Dr Vivian Thomas.
1. He didn't change his name.
2. He was still humble and didn't allow pride to overwrite his decisions.
These led to him being honoured at the end. BRAVO👏! Luv💞!
This is a special movie based on history. Great script and acting!
Best clean content movie in a very long time. Definitely content of this movie is extremely needs to be back into theatres once again, otherwise the downfall of cinema. God bless good true content!❤
Fabulous Movie. I felt Jesus 🙏 gave Dr. Thomas the dream about the heat not developing. He truly works in mysterious ways 🕊️
Heart not developing, oops 😬
Mos def and Alan Rickman were incredible in this film. Had the feel of a lifetime movie at points but these two elevate it so much beyond the low budget!
Yes they were great actors
With all the acting Alan Rickman has done and most def kept up with him. Phenomenal acting by Mos Def.
This movie is inspiring. I love the way he Vivien thought himself and very comfortable on his work. And I love how the other doctor is open-minded and willing to learn from Vivien
I will talk about this on my radio show “WHATS YOUR LIFE CHANGER”. It’s about going through the “ of life storm” and coming out as a hero and a survivor.
This was the “Sunday Movie” I didn’t know I needed 🥰 Thank you for this upload 👍 Our spirit has no color. Vivian Thomas was guided by his spirit. Dr. Blalock was guided by his spirit, as well. Look at God🙌🙏🏾🥰💞
We love this movie, absolutely.
It's also about the bond of true friendship withstanding the trials and tribulations of life.
Also triumphing over ones self. So glad his wife remained true to their marriage.
Both of their wives in fact!
An incredible story. Excellent acting. RIP Alan Rickman
God Evening, " Something The Lord Made" is one of my all time favorite true stories. Please bring more HBO true stories to RUclips. Very appreciated.
Thank you for posting 🙏🏻🙏🏻. Great movie . Vivian has such a calm disposition, steady hands, and great confidence. His curiosity and his ability to “feel” his way through and maneuver around the heart is for sure a God given gift.
Wonderful true story portrayed exceptional well by these actors .
Please post more films like this as I quite enjoyed watching.
yes indeed so many well said comments
One of the best movies I have seen in years! Superb acting, incredible story!!! LOVED IT!
Hello Mary, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Extraordinary movie...so compelling and touching. As a doctoral student who went through many years not being recognized for significant work, I can relate yet only imagine the pain of his journey. But the joy exceeds it! Had to slap my mom to wake after she fell asleep watching this. A must-watch! Excellent movie!
What a wonderful story! So glad that I had an opportunity to learn about the work that Vivian Thomas did. It’s unfortunate that Dr. Blalock took advantage of his natural born intelligence, by keeping him in the lab, and not encouraging him to go onto medical school, as he had intended to do. I think the world should acknowledge Viviane’s participation in assisting Dr. Blalock with the blue baby surgery.
If he had to go to school that kid was going die
Mr. Vivian Thomas was blessed
So well said... Thank God for Vivian Thomas!
That would've been an even better ending. I think it a sin the white doctor didn't put Vivien Thomas through medicine school to begin with when he saw his exceptional intelligence too! ❤Chrissy Comey, Exupery
@@millicentmatshusa1606not if he was going for school part time, the truth is he was taken advantage of, but so many people of color were taken advantage of and still are, which makes it even sad, he knew without school he wasn’t going to be acknowledged
1 of the best movies of all Time !!!
A beautiful story. I love the very real struggle that many of us go through -- the need to be recognized without being honored. Vivien Thomas is the kind of hero that the world needs. Well done movie makers. Well done LORD of hosts!
He was highly motivated and good with his hands but God had a plan and working for the Dr. B saw how special Vivian was. I loved how he got a medical education, one on one…He was sharp and determined🙏
This was a remarkable journey for such a gifted man. So many lives have been and continue to be changed by the unending love and compassion our medical professionals accomplish in their field everyday.
I am glad Vivien received the recognition he truly deserved.
A true pleasure to watch a movie with meaning... A true blessing
Hello Gloria, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
What an amazing story. As a mother of a daughter who had open heart surgery God bless these Dr's. God bless their bravery and persistence. Without them and their work my daughter may not be here. God is so very good.
A truly great touching movie depicting the struggles of a very intelligent African American man who ambitions to be a doctor but never got there though he received the opportunity to be able to do the work of an actual doctor and much more.
This shows that life can be arduous yet still actually good and great in the end.
He finally became an Honorary doctor and worked at the prestigious hospital.
❤
Unfortunately he was conferred honorary doctorate in law not in medicine.
Few days ago, my daughter's boyfriend (34 years old) a hardworking man raised with great stress alongside with his father, whose own outlook on his son was too demanding according to his sisters... with that said a few days ago, he was taken to the hospital with unbearable stomach pains. Yesterday he went thru 7 hours of surgery - the aftermath with him having to wear a colostomy bag for his waste for up to six months to a year... thereafter to undergo the taking off the colostomy bag to repair his colon into its' natural process. His life has been completely altered - he was a skilled construction worker. I have been told the recovery can be up to a few months and then he can do his work as before. It IS AMAZING TODAY WHAT SURGEONS CAN DO... however, this man's road ahead will be difficult as his stress is emotionally tied to his father's expectations. Again, what the doctor's had to do to get the perforation in his stomach closed for what it was doing to his body is amazing. Prayers for his recovery both in is mind and heart is now part of the recovery.
Thanks for the comment, I wish your daughter's boyfriend a speedy recovery!
Thank you for uploading this true story. Both Dr Blaylock and Dr Vivian Thomas were outstanding human beings and thw final outcome restores my faith in American decency.
Best sincere love and wishes to the young man. Never stop praying
Just saw this message. I pray for this young man & his family. First, I pray for a forgiving heart in him & the love & compassion of JESUS overwhelm his soul! God give him eyes beyond the difficulties. May he trust God for the revealing of the greater man God has created him to be. Whats impossible with man is ALL POSSIBLE WITH GOD! The devil wants him to see his father & God as his enemy. That is a LIE from the pit of hell! I pray healing, deliverance, & restoration in his life in Jesus name! Amen. So be it! ❤❤❤
I cried with Tears of happiness towards the end of Movie. I never knew about Dr.Viven Thomas and his story regarding John Hopkins University Hospital.
This was very educational and touching. I have never heard of Dr. Vivien Thomas until today. I really enjoy the history lesson. TFS 🙂
Such a story of hard work and perseverance on part of Dr. Vivian Thomas... Such a pioneer... Thank you for bringing his life out through this movie
What a heartwrenching story that proves patience, hard work and sufferances will be rewarded with recognition and salutation and praise one day.
👍
I've seen this movie a couple times before and it always makes me proud to think how much we as African Americana have impacted this world and sometimes not get our just due. Thank you Dr.Vivien Thomas RIP
Absolutely appreciated this Movie. 👍
Something God made indeed! Dr. Vivien Thomas, Well Done Sir! To his loved ones and descendents, you have greatness in your veins, I hope you continue the great work. Mos Def and the entire cast, this was a work of excellence! To the producers of this channel, Thank You, after a tiring day, feeling overworked but undervalued, this movie was just what the Doctor ordered🌹

Hello Nancy, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Great movie, brilliant reminder of what we can accomplish if we don't give up.
Amen - fulfilling the Call of God on one's life! And what's with his crazy mother to name a child before even knowing if male or female - didn't anyone mention or think about that - the embarrassment of that - and the shame - Just find that awful & ridiculous! Honor God and be grateful for what He purposed & planned not your own selfish desires wanting a girl nothing wrong with that, but the LORD sought fit to give a boy! dang - give the child a good solid name that fits his gender!!! Crazy minds of today's world just attaching ridiculous names on your own child! A healthy, bright good child! OMG
I'm very fussy about movies, but this one is so when performed. I'm totally drawn in like it's real life.
I am truly moved by this movie. Dr Vivien Thomas was really a great soul ❤
