My volleyball coach yelled 'puka' when nobody covered the open spot. I built a career on it.
In 1949, a doctor named Virginia Apgar was having breakfast in a hospital cafeteria when a medical student asked her a question nobody had previously thought to answer: how do you know, in the first moments after a baby is born, whether it is going to be okay?
TL;DR
- Dr. Virginia Apgar was approached with a question in 1949.
- The question was posed by a medical student.
- It concerned how to assess a newborn's well-being immediately after birth.
- This was a question that had not been previously addressed.
