You read right. A 14 year old has come up with a novel surgical closure technique that could cut surgery wound closure time to 1/3 of the current average! See it here. He developed this technique as a high school freshman at a magnet school in Jacksonville, Florida which allows students to take advanced classes in medicine. His idea was fostered at an internship at the University of Florida, Shands Hospital Simulation Center. Either way you flip it, very impressive. I'm no surgeon but should I be feeling inadequate right now?
