Didn't Cha Know: Black Youth Invents Surgical Technique - at 14

THIS IS TRULY INSPIRATION TO ME! THIS IS WHY I DO WHAT I DO! Read about this gifted young man who is revolutionizing the medical work. He's 14. He's black! No color is not everything, but when you have some many of my young brothers getting a bad rep. I love to show them that they too can change. This is for the brother or sister who might not believe in the power of change!


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.

In April, the brilliant teen presented his findings at a medical conference at the University of Florida before an audience of doctors and board-certified surgeons.

Hansberry attends Darnell-Cookman, a special medical magnet school that allows him to take advanced classes in medicine. Students at the school master suturing in eighth grade.
