In my life journey I have walked with an unassuming gait, trying to find my way to happiness. I have come from naïve, carefree, and curious to skeptical and cautious. After only a few years of the latter, I realize there is a healthy balance that must be achieved. My goal is to find it, amidst all of this chaos I call my life.

Dr. Patricia Bath (In History) - 1942 - Present


Dr. Patricia Bath, became the first African American woman doctor to receive a patent for a medical invention. Dr. Bath's patent (no. 4,744,360), a method for removing cataract lenses, transformed eye surgery, using a laser device making the procedure more accurate.

Dr. Bath’s passionate dedication to the treatment and prevention of blindness led her to develop the Cataract Laserphaco Probe. The probe, patented in 1988, is designed to use the power of a laser to quickly and painlessly vaporize cataracts from patients’ eyes, replacing the more common method of using a grinding, drill-like device to remove the afflictions. With another invention, Dr. Bath was able to restore sight to people who had been blind for over 30 years. Patricia Bath also holds patents for her invention in Japan, Canada, and Europe.

Patricia Bath graduated from the Howard University School of Medicine in 1968 and completed specialty training in ophthalmology and corneal transplant at both New York University and Columbia University. In 1975, Dr. Bath became the first African-American woman surgeon at the UCLA Medical Center and the first woman to be on the faculty of the UCLA Jules Stein Eye Institute. She is the founder and first president of the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness. Patricia Bath was elected to Hunter College Hall of Fame in 1988 and elected as Howard University Pioneer in Academic Medicine in 1993.

Another thing is that while searching for a good on the web electronics store, look for
web stores that are continually updated, retaining up-to-date with the newest products, the best
deals, along with helpful information on services and products.
This will ensure you are dealing with a shop that stays on top of the competition and
give you what you need to make educated, well-informed
electronics expenditures. Thanks for the significant tips I have really
learned from your blog.

One important issue is that if you find yourself searching for
a student loan you may find that you will need a cosigner.
There are many scenarios where this is correct because you
may find that you do not employ a past credit rating so the
bank will require you have someone cosign the credit for you.
Thanks for your post.
