	Dr. Charles R. Drew: American Inventor - EnchantedLearning.com
		Charles Richard Drew (June 3, 1904 - April 1, 1950) was an American medical doctor and surgeon who started the idea of a blood bank and a system for the long-term preservation of blood plasma (he found that plasma kept longer than whole blood).
		Drew resigned his position as director after the US War Department issued a directive stating that blood taken from white donors should not be mixed with blood taken from black donors.
		Drew strongly objected, and stated "the blood of individual human beings may differ by blood groupings, but there is absolutely no scientific basis to indicate any difference in human blood from race to race." Dr. Drew also formed Britain's blood bank system.

		“Torrens Title” is named after its inventor, Sir Robert Richard Torrens who was instrumental in the implementation of this unique and efficient system of dealing with land in 1858.
		Torrens drew on his background and experience in merchant shipping law to devise a revolutionary system of land ownership, based on the methods of registering ownership of, and dealings with, ships under long-established merchant shipping law.
		Because indefeasibility of title is state-guaranteed under the Torrens system a person who suffers loss as a consequence of fraud or the omission of some legal interest relating to the title may in some cases have a right to bring a claim against the Land Titles Office.

		There are many others, such as guillotine (after its inventor, the French physician, Guillotin), draconian (after Draco, an Athenian statesman who drew up a severe code of laws), as well as stentorian (after the Greek messenger, Stentor, in the Trojan War, who had the "voice of 50 men").
		Stents were apparently used in a large variety of procedures including nasal reconstruction; in gynecology, where different ducts and tubes had to be reconstructed; in surgery of the trachea; in plastic surgery, especially in rebuilding of the mandible; and most well-known, in cardiac surgery.
		Stent's invention is but one in a long line of contributions made by dentists, which have benefited patents everywhere, and have advanced not only dentistry, but all of the healing arts.
