14 Year Old Black Youth Invents Surgical Technique.May 25, 2012
www.youtube.com Tony Hansberry II isn't waiting to finish medical school to contribute to improved medical care. He has already developed a stitching technique that can be used to reduce surgical complications, as well as the chance of error among less experienced surgeons. "I've always had a passion for medicine," he said in a recent interview. "The project I did was, basically, the comparison of novel laparoscopic instruments in doing a hysterectomy repair." By the way, Hansberry is a 14-year-old high school freshman.

His goal is to become a neurosurgeon. The idea for his procedure developed last summer during an internship at the University of Florida's Center for Simulation Education and Safety Research at Shands Hospital in Jacksonville.

The teen devised a vertical ...

Lung Cancer Foundation of America Gives the Gift of Life This Holiday Season: Announces Inaugural $125,000 Scientific Research Grant
Lung cancer, the nation’s leading cause of cancer deaths for women and men remains the most under-funded, under-researched and under-supported cancer.
