Meanwhile 100 years after Forssmann’s ‘reckless’ experiments, I’ve had more cardiac catheterizations than I can accurately recount. 50 years ago I was born with the type of complex heart defect that Forssmann would have likely thought wasn’t even compatible with life. As a kid caths we’re a vital tool for doctors to map out my heart and get a plan together as to how to keep me going. Now they’re saying that the next time my pulmonary valve has to be replaced it will be via catheter and not open heart surgery again. Thank you, Werner Forssmann!
The “Widowmaker” is a slang term for the left anterior descending artery. The reason why it’s called Widowmaker is if you have a heart attack in the left anterior descending artery you have a higher chance of dying the compared to the right anterior descending artery or the circumflex.The left anterior descending artery supplies a large area of the left side of the heart, so if a heart attack occurs a large part of the left side of the heart dies. The left side of the heart is the side that pumps of blood to the rest of the body hence Widowmaker.
My heart has co-equal chambers. My left side pumps roughly the same as the right. The stent in my left side is right after the left anterior descending artery. I missed the widow maker by a junction.
I think it's telling that Dr. Forssmann would attempt something on himself first before attempting that very thing on others; during that time period, other "doctors" didn't have that same consideration for their test subjects/patients. Danke, Herr doctor; thank you, THG!
I know Dr. Forsman is deceased but I wanna give a shout out to him for being a good human being he didn’t play along with the horrible atrocities and the man was obviously a very smart man and a very dedicated person thank you sir for the medical work you did this is a Jim mungai From Kennerdell Pennsylvania
I always find it interesting that we assume contempory medicine, enginerreing, etc are of the latest technology. It all had to come from someplace. Thank you for this significant reminder of the knowledge of past generations.
But it is of the latest technology. We might be getting the same end result, but we do nothing exactly the same way it was done, even just 25 or 30 years ago. We have better materials, new equipment, completely different techniques. Not even the scalpel is the same today as back then. It might not be a wholly new idea, but it is all new technology.
That was very interesting. My wife’s Grandfather was a physician in Romania, back in the very early part of the 20th Century. According to my wife, he performed his own appendectomy. I wouldn’t know how to confirm this, but I have no evidence to deny it.
Cathed 2017 after heart failure due to pneumonia. Coronary artery showed little damage, improving my prospects. Thanks to MGMC Cath Lab in Ames, IA and to Dr. Forssmann for his audacious experiment.

Thankfully I haven't had heart problems -knock on me, but I did have gall bladder problems and got a laparoscopic cholecystectomy several years ago. Thanks to endoscopy, 3 tiny little holes were all that were there after surgery. Before endoscopic surgery, I would have been cut down the middle, had my ribs lifted and my liver rearranged to get to that galling little bladder!
My sister had open heart surgery performed by CW. Lillehei. (12/1/1958). Unfortunately they could not re start her heart due to heart block. I also had open heart surgery (June 1968)(u of Minnesota), fortunately my heart started after surgery. My surgeon was Dr. Aldo Castaneda who died in 2021.
I have had two cath, first in 1958 then 1960 and then on July 6th 1962 I had open heart surgery. I had no problems until 2018 they put a pacemaker in. I believe all the people who go into the medical field need to be thanked for what they do on a daily bases.
Mr. History Guy, I really enjoyed this one. Have you heard of the 1940s heart surgery pioneers, Dr. Alfred Blalock and Dr. Vivien Thomas? Their work and their story is truly history that deserves to be remembered. It was documented well in the 2004 HBO movie Something The Lord Made. Dr. Thomas also wrote an autobiography, Partners of the Heart. My youngest son was born with a congenital heart defect and had open heart surgery at age three months. Today he is a healthy and thriving 19 year old thanks to those two doctors. I would love to see you create a video on them!
I have the heart defect addressed by Blalock & Thomas. I’m 50 years old; never quite achieved heart health but with a severe tetralogy in the 1970s that wasn’t expected. Still, without the work of those two gentlemen I would not be here today. I’m glad methods have improved and your son is doing well.
@@CornbreadOracle Thank you so much. My son had AV Canal which is a way simpler repair than tetralogy if I remember right. I am glad yours could be corrected to whatever extent that it was and wish you many years of health to come.
The history of Vivien Thomas, LLD is inspiring. Don't forget Helen Taussig, M.D. who was denied admission to Harvard Medical School simply because she was female. Bet they later regretted that.
The name "La Charite" is usually not translated. It is one of the really great hospitals in the world. The associated medical school is among the very best in the world and also among the most selective. The student applicant acceptance rate is about 4%. I believe that it has now combined with Heidelberg University, a name with which Americans are more likely to be familiar. One of my old professors was a graduate (first in his class) and a spectacularly skillful surgeon.
I have had a PICC line inserted into my heart, while I was awake . It was used to “feed” me for several days. my surgery and anesthetic, had created an ileus . Thus I was not able to consume food. Barnes- Jewish downtown STL is an excellent hospital.
I had a PICC line inserted into my heart to enable my doctors/nurses to channel Chemotherapy drugs into my system in 2019, prior to a full Gastrectomy for Stomach Cancer. Now - in 2022 - I'm still 'here' and cannot begin to think of a way to REALLY thank those who went before me and made my present situation possible!
Lucky he didn't kill himself. As an ER and ICU nurse, I have seen a number of potentially lethal arrhythmia induced by cardiac caths and pacing wires introduced into the ventricles. Fortunately, they stopped when the caths and wires were withdrawn.

As for him joining the Nazi party, the thing people need to understand is a large part of Nazi ideology was simply applied eugenics. By the 1920-30's eugenics was Very popular and accepted, particularly in intellectual circles. His distancing himself from the Nazi ideology Could be because he saw the implications of applying Nazi/Eugenics "theory" to real people. Alas the same ca not be said for many others/organizations who spent a lot of time/effort covering up their past.
@DEZZNUTZ 1001 "but so did many others, including many elites in the United States, and Europe," Exactly My Point. As i said A Lot of people spent a lot of time covering up their support of Eugenics. It became Eugenics? I was Never in support of That. What opened my eyes was Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism Michael Crichton's State of Fear. When I 1st ran across "Global Warming", I was thinking, ok, that makes sense. As time when on nagging doubts started to arise, then I read State Of Fear and the light bulb went on. Michael Crichton was a golden boy, until he wrote State Of Fear. In around 37.5 minutes he went from Golden Boy to The Worst Person In The World. Funny how that happens when you Question The Narrative.
My mom Nancy Marie Engelhard was patient for Dr. Salk and she’s the only known woman to have survived polio twice and she had me after the second bout so I could possibly be the only person ever born to a woman that had polio twice but she was Dr. Schalks one of his*patients so to speak she worked real hard at trying to walk again and she did but it’s called post polio syndrome it end up taking her life later in life way later she bought so in nine years old anyhow this is a Jim mungai From Kennerdell Pennsylvania
I thought I remembered reading about fluoroscopy being used to fit shoes, and I was correct. Apparently, that was stopped when I was in grade school. As for Dr. Forssmann, would you call him brave or foolhardy?
fascinating, You could make history a more popular major than human sexuality. Speaking of which, how about reviewing the Kensey institute and the history of sexuality becoming an accepted research topic instead of a quick trip to ex-communication. I don't know anything about the history but I bet it was very interesting.

Exactly My Point. As i said A Lot of people spent a lot of time covering up their support of Eugenics. It became Eugenics? I was Never in support of That. What opened my eyes was Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism
Michael Crichton's State of Fear. When I 1st ran across "Global Warming", I was thinking, ok, that makes sense. As time when on nagging doubts started to arise, then I read State Of Fear and the light bulb went on. Michael Crichton was a golden boy, until he wrote State Of Fear. In around 37.5 minutes he went from Golden Boy to The Worst Person In The World. Funny how that happens when you Question The Narrative.

Dear History guy, could you do an episode on the history of the wrecking ball/ demolition? Thanks
Please do an article on Elsa Branstrom, nurse WWII. Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize.
I wonder how many Jews he experimented on there during world war II to get that Nobel prize?
Heh heh, you said "Doctor Who." Heh heh.

I thought I remembered reading about fluoroscopy being used to fit shoes, and I was correct. Apparently, that was stopped when I was in grade school. As for Dr. Forssmann, would you call him brave or foolhardy?
I remember having my shod feet x-rayed in a shoe store in Massachusetts, sometime between 1950 and 1953.

"Doctor Who touched his own heart."
What!?
fascinating, You could make history a more popular major than human sexuality. Speaking of which, how about reviewing the Kensey institute and the history of sexuality becoming an accepted research topic instead of a quick trip to ex-communication. I don't know anything about the history but I bet it was very interesting.
