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!

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.

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.

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.

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. ❤

[@lirioetandrada]

Unfortunately he was conferred honorary doctorate in law not in medicine.

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 KZbin❣️❣️❣️

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!

With all the acting Alan Rickman has done and most def kept up with him. Phenomenal acting by Mos Def.

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!

[@arlenefittswinfrey3667]

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

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

[@Rhodah_Musonda]

@@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

What a heartwrenching story that proves patience, hard work and sufferances will be rewarded with recognition and salutation and praise one day.

I found myself tearful. Thank you, Dr Vivien Thomas, the man with a golden heart (unmatched humility). You gracefully answered your call, you were indeed "something the Lord made" and your story will inspire many lives in many years to come.

[@cjjackson5845]

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.

[@Ingrid922]

Both of their wives in fact!

[@conniekiser3314]

Such a wonderful movie! It was so awesome that Dr. Thomas was finally recognized. He should have been a doctor all along. God bless him. ❤

[@SusieMarie-57]

In fact he was - many times God keeps his servants hidden, yet they accomplish all that Lord wanted & purposed during their life!

[@bhobbs70]

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.

[@dancingnature]

He got recognized for that .

[@L37345]

Dr. Thomas had the highest medical training of all given by the Holy Spirit; not the traditional way of man.

[@sylviacooper8304]

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.

[@SusieMarie-57]

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!

I am truly moved by this movie. Dr Vivien Thomas was really a great soul ❤

[@jeannerountree952]

I am now towards the end of this movie. I can’t believe how well done this movie has been. The storyline is remarkable. I am now tearing up at the two of them reminiscing about their time together especially when the doctor is trying to tell Vivian how sorry he is. This is a movie that I saved to watch later I believe I remember that it is a true story. So now I will look that up to see if I remembered that correctly. I will keep this on my save list and try to watch this again pretty soon. My son graduated medical school this year 2023 and he is doing his residency in emergency medicine. I also worked in the medical field for over 30+ years. I love medical stories very much. Thank you for sharing this with us.

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 .

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.

[@richild3967]

@@shirleyannglass3613you mean how Vivian helped him. Vivian never went to medical school and dr blaylock could have helped him but he kept him as a subordinate for his own personal gain. Anyway like the Bible says what he meant for evil God turned it for Vivian’s good. Now we remember his greatness and millions of lives are still being saved by heart surgery

Biography of Dr Alfred Blalock, and Vivian Thomas (Dr. Vivian Thomas ). was bitter sweet.

[@ReeRee_Donita]

@1:04:01- Vivien was in the ministry of the prophetic- he had a prophetic gift too. I think that’s why he did what he did with so much excellence. God worked through this man’s hands, for real🙌🏾 I was teary-eyed when he achieved the breakthrough

[@Rhodah_Musonda]

That’s the importance of the prophetic, even Dr Ben Carson also received a prophetic encounter when he was about to go for his chemistry exam, an exam he always struggled with and he saw the exact paper he would sit for, I think the Bible also says something about the prophetic being a gift for everyone, we need only to be still and listen to God speak

[@ReeRee_Donita]

@@Rhodah_Musonda precisely. We’re all called to be prophetic in some way- as this is our purpose teleologically as predicted to us in Acts 2:17, though I think certain people will use this gifting in a larger capacity than others. God used the prophetic to help me through my education too, which is why it resonates strongly with me. It’s very real.

Second time seeing this movie. So inspiring and wonderfully done. Dr Vivian made his mark in the field in which he lacked credentials . However he was innately gifted and that can’t be taught in books. What a inspiration for all us to follow our passions and work with our gifts.

[@carolinemah9972]

What a fine example of Dr. Vivien Thomas: such humbleness, integrity, humanity whom handled unfairness with his resilience. He finally received his world, honorary award and recognition, that was long past due.

I just finished watching this movie with my husband, & it is truly INSPIRING to watch!!! It was incredible to see how a black janitor who never attended medical school helped a surgeon to develop a device to perform heart surgery! And that same invention from the early 1900s started cardiac surgery as we know it today. This movie is worth every min to watch; I cried at the end!!!❤ From the U.S.
