"To use what I saw—as a 12-year-old girl—my God-given talents to help someone. Medicine seemed to me to be the most noble of endeavors."— Dr. Bernadine Healy
#OTD in 1845, physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen was born in Lennep, Germany. Fifty years later, his discovery of the #XRay (also known as the #Roentgen ray) changed the world and laid the foundation of modern radiology. In 1901, he was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics "in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by the discovery of the remarkable rays subsequently named after him."
In celebration of #WomensHistoryMonth, we are featuring a portrait of Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee (1864-1940), best known as the founder of the Army Nurse Corps in 1901.
