Elizabeth Blackwell - Blackwell lost sight in her left eye

Time: Monday Nov 5, 1849

Place: France

Details: On 4 November 1849, when Blackwell was treating an infant with ophthalmia neonatorum, she spurted some contaminated solution into her own eye accidentally and contracted the infection. She lost sight in her left eye, causing her to have her eye surgically extracted and thus lost all hope of becoming a surgeon.
