Even more than scalpels and forceps, the most important tools for a surgeon are the hands.
And in the operating room, four hands are better than two.
Dr. Sophia Roberts is a second-year Washington University resident, training to become a cardiothoracic surgeon. Less than 5% of heart surgeons are women but making this even more unique, is that the doctor she assisted recently is her dad.
"It was a pretty complicated case but she, if I say so myself, did a really good job," said Dr. Harold Roberts, Washington University cardiothoracic surgeon at Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
Following in her father's footsteps began at an early age for Sophia. Her path cemented after dinners out with the family.
