Doctor Apgar’s Name Is Famous Among All Mothers, but Not Everyone Knows Why We Should Be Grateful to Her

The Apgar Score is a term that every woman knows who’s ever given birth to a baby in a modern hospital. It’s one of 3 main indicators that a young mother learns in addition to her baby’s height and weight. As a rule, there are 2 digits that show the baby’s condition at the first and the fifth minute after coming into this world, and as long as they are over 7, a mother has no reason to worry. But not very many people know that there’s not just a baby’s health behind these digits, there’s the life of a person who managed to turn the world of medicine upside down with her incredible work.
