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.
Jolene Blalock is not directly related to Alfred Blalock. Jolene is an actress known for her role in "Star Trek: Enterprise," while Alfred Blalock was a pioneering surgeon and researcher known for his work in the field of cardiac surgery. While they share the same last name, there is no documented familial connection between them.
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.
