In a Moment of Vision...

U Trenucima vizije...

It's the winter of 1890.

Zima je 1890.

Dr. William Halsted is the chief surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Dr. William Halsted je glavni kirurg u bolnici Johns Hopkins.

The scrub nurse under Halsted, a woman named Caroline Hampton,

Sestra koja radi sa Halstedom, žena imena Caroline Hampton,

begins to develop a severe reaction to the strong disinfectants

počinje razvijati snažnu alergijsku reakciju na dezinficijens

used to scour her hands and arms before surgery.

s kojim čisti ruke prije operacije.

Halsted takes an interest in her plight.

Halsted se zainteresira za njenu nevolju.

In a moment of vision, he asks Goodyear rubber company

U trenutku vizije, on traži od tvornice gume Goodyear

to experiment with the production of a pair of thin rubber gloves.

da eksperimentira s proizvodnjom tankih gumenih rukavica.

They fit Caroline, well, like gloves, and her hands begin to recover.

Oni Caroline pristaju pa, kao rukavice, i njene ruke se oporavljaju.

In fact, the gloves are such a success

Zapravo, rukavice su takav uspjeh

that the good doctor orders more for his team and for himself.

da ih dobri doktor naručuje još za svoj tim i za sebe.

From these early experiments,

Od ovih ranih eksperimenata,

a multibillion dollar rubber glove industry is born.

multimilijarderska industrija gumenih rukavica je rođena.

And it turns out the doctor didn't just want to protect the nurse's hands.

I čini se kako doktor nije samo htio zaštiti ruke sestre.

He also wanted to take them in holy matrimony.

Također je htio njenu ruku u braku.

Halsted and Caroline were married

Halsted i Caroline su se vjenčali

just a few months after he gave her that first pair of gloves.

par mjeseci nakon što joj je dao njen prvi par rukavica.
