It was almost midnight when I got the call from Dr. Seagraves. She told me to meet her in the physicians lounge at 7 am: we had a case. The next morning began like any other in the operating room. We met with the patient, I received permission to observe and then got suited up for case. The patient was an elderly African American woman, she called me handsome and smiled comfortably. When we made it into the OR I was asked to help lift the patient from bed to table, with a subtle warning of “watch out, it’s gooey.” Dr. Seagraves parted the patient’s gown, exposing a mass of raw tissue that somewhat resembled a leg. The patient had suffered a week’s worth of necrotizing fasciitis, more commonly known as flesh eating bacteria. The wound had a certain odor, a putrid smell you do not forget. Our hearts sank in unison as we realized what we were up against. We had to act fast. Dr. Seagraves began scrubbing the wounded tissue as the Anaestesiologist monitored the patient’s progress. I had observed Dr. Seagraves on multiple occasions and never did she express concern for the outcome. For the first time in our relationship I heard her mutter, “This is not good. This is not good at all.”

It was not until after slavery was abolished, and then a few more years later, that slaves could apply for patents. Even then, it was still extremely difficult due to the segregation and racism prevalent in the United States. For example George Crum is responsible for the accidental invention of the potato chip (Black Inventors through American History).

To Crum’s surprise, the customer was satisfied with what he had created (Black Inventors through American History). He did not patent the invention right away, but it later came to be bagged and sold to everyone (Black Inventors through American History). An African-American inventor, by the name of Dr. Charles Drew, saved hundreds of thousands of lives and paved the way to saving more by “revolutionizing the understanding of blood plasma” (Black Inventors through American History).

(Black Inventors through American History). This also lead to the invention of blood banks, and blood donations started to become more popular (Black Inventors through American History). Circa World War II, Drew became the head of mass transfusions for the Armed Forces (Black Inventors through American History). However, when the United States Armed Forces declared that only blood from white men be given to the soldiers he protested and quit

Unfortunately, he had the same look right after their escape while lying in his hospital bed stuck with numerous tubes, unable to raise his head. Captain Mason pushed his right hand through the bars from the cell next door and Jackson took the proffered hand gently since he didn’t have any strength in his hand.
