Historical significance in nurse anesthesiology...This is a rare photo of the operating room at Harlem Hospital on September 20, 1958.

On that day, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was at a book signing of his first book, Stride Toward Freedom. While there, a woman stabbed Dr. King in the chest with a letter opener in his sternum between a major artery and aorta as reported. Dr. King was rushed to Harlem Hospital for an emergency thoracotomy. On call, was a Nurse Anesthesiologist, Goldie Brangman.

In that era, Black Nurse Anesthesiologists at Harlem Hospital and white Nurse Anesthesiologists at Presbyterian Medical Center. This the the actual picture from the operating room of Dr. King as the patient, trauma surgeons, nurses and Nurse Anesthesiologists, Goldie Brangman for the 3 and 1/2 hour surgery. The anesthesia machine used at that time was called the Heidbrink. During that era, there was no mechanical ventilation and Ms. Brangman, literally bagged Dr.King for compliance throughout the entire surgery. Dr. King recovered at Harlem Hospital with Mrs. Corretta Scott King at his bedside.

Goldie Brangman was the Program Director of the Harlem School of Anesthesiology since 1951 for 36 years. In 1959, Goldie Brangman CRNA was elected at the President of the New York Association of Nurse Anesthesiologists. Then, she served as the Treasurer of the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) from 1967 to 1969.

Finally, Goldie Brangman, CRNA, MBA, MEd was elected as President of the AANA from 1973-1974 and first and only Black CRNA to assume that senior leadership role. In 1983, the AANA awarded her the Helen Lamb Outstanding Educator Award. In 1985, Ms. Brangman, received the AANA Agatha Hodgins Outstanding Achievement Award.

The late Goldie Brangman, CRNA, MBA, MEd. was a pioneering voice in Nurse Anesthesiology.
