                                "Johns Hopkins, counted many "firsts" among its achievements during its early years: the first major medical school in the United States to admit women; pioneer in the use of rubber gloves during surgery; and the first to conceptualize renal dialysis.

                                Other accomplishments include the discovery of vitamin D, the identification of the three types of polio virus, development of CPR and the first "blue baby" operation, which opened the way to modern heart surgery. Hopkins also was the birthplace of many specialties, including neurosurgery, urology, endocrinology and pediatrics."

                                Thats just ONE major medical school.
