From what I once read, Dr. Blalock died at age 64 of cancer. There are photographs in existence showing Blalock holding a lit cigarette...something rather common amongst physicians in his day. The type of cancer which shortened the brilliant physicians life however was not mentioned.

Alfred Blalock did not fully acknowledge Vivien Thomas's contributions due to a combination of institutional racism and the prevailing social attitudes of the time, which often marginalized the contributions of Black individuals in scientific fields. Despite Thomas's significant role as a surgical laboratory assistant and his critical input in developing the Blalock-Taussig shunt, Blalock received most of the credit. Additionally, the power dynamics in their professional relationship likely influenced the visibility of Thomas's contributions. It wasn't until later that Thomas began to receive recognition for his groundbreaking work.

Vivien T. Thomas was a key player in pioneering the anastomosis of the subclavian artery to the pulmonary artery.The surgical work he performed with Alfred Blalock paved the way for the successful outcome of the Blalock-Taussig shunt. In January 1930, Vivien Thomas, a young African-American who was forced for lack of funds to leave his first year of college, came to work for Blalock in his laboratory. At that point Blalock's increasing obligations were cutting into the time he could spend in the laboratory and he needed a surgical assistant. A more fortunate choice could not have been made. Vivien Thomas learned to perform the surgical operations and chemical determinations needed for their experiments, to calculate the results, and to keep precise records; he remained an invaluable associate throughout Blalock's career. Blalock and Thomas worked closely in the surgical laboratories. Thomas was a major contributor in the development of operative techniques. He and Blalock also collaborated on the design of surgical equipment. Shown here is a clamp for the temporary occlusion of the pulmonary artery, which was devised for Blalock's use by Vivien Thomas and William Longmire, working with the local surgical supply house Murray Baumgartner & Co. Thomas supervised the surgical laboratories at Hopkins for over 35 years, and in 1976 he was appointed instructor in surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In 1979, upon his retirement, he became instructor emeritus of surgery. Vivien Thomas's achievements were widely recognized by his colleagues. In 1976, he was awarded the honorary degree Doctor of Laws, by the Johns Hopkins University
