"It's not hard if you have a passion for it" Tony Hansberry
"A Jacksonville researcher has developed a way of sewing up patients after hysterectomies that stands to reduce the risk of complications and simplify the tricky procedure for less-seasoned surgeons. Oh, and he's 14 years old. Feel free to read that again." JEREMY COX, APR. 24, 2009

The teen devised a vertical way to apply the endo stitch and, using a medical dummy, completed the stitching in a third of the time of traditional surgery.
“It took me a day or two to come up with the concept,” Hansberry said.
