When I graduated from high school in 1960 I had no means of going to college. So I enrolled in a program at Temple Hospital in Philadelphia for a brand new medical field : Respiratory Therapy. The program was sponsored by the NIH and paid a small stipend. This new field was prompted by a new medical device: the mechanical ventilator. The new mechanical ventilators made it feasible to keep a patient alive who was unable to breathe on his own...in the hope he would recover. http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-forrest-bird-20150803-story.html At the same time a new surgical field was also evolving: Open heart surgery. The two events were complimentary. Open heart surgery was, in those days a very revolutionary, and dangerous type of surgery that could not have been pursued without the ability to keep a patient alive post surgery and the mechanical ventilator played a key roll in that effort. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_E._DeBakey After receiving training in Medical Physiology I was sent to spend two weeks at Baylor College of Medicine in Huston to be trained by Debakey's team. (meaning I was allowed to watch)
