Maria Steelman ’07Saint Paul, MN Maria, a practicing registered nurse, recently traveled to Rwanda with a surgical team to assist in 13 open heart surgeries. When the power went off during a procedure on a young man, Maria was tasked with keeping his heart beating by rhythmically contracting it in her hands. “I will never be able to put into words what I felt. It was an out-of- body experience, like I was watching someone else’s hands hold this magnificent, beautiful organ. Excitement, anxiousness, and disbelief were pumping though my own heart. It was the longest 20 minutes of my entire life.” |
