Blalock praises Thomas' surgical skill as being 'like something the Lord made', and insists that Thomas coach him through the first Blue Baby surgery over the protests of Hopkins administrators. The film dramatizes Blalock's and Thomas' fight to save the dying Blue Babies.

Blalock interprets it as the fact that their sewing technique didn't work because the sutures didn't grow with the heart, and worked on a new version that would work. Thomas asks why she's dying in the dream and she says it's because she has a baby heart. The outcome looks good and they are excited to operate on a baby with the defect, but in a dream, Thomas sees the baby grown up and crying because she's dying. The duo is seen experimenting on stray dogs they got from the local dog pound, deliberately giving the dogs the heart defect and trying to solve it. She needs a new ductus for them to oxygenate their blood. Helen Taussig ( Mary Stuart Masterson), the pediatrician/cardiologist at Johns Hopkins, challenges Blalock to come up with a surgical solution for her Blue Babies. Together, they attack the congenital heart defect of Tetralogy of Fallot, also known as Blue Baby Syndrome, and in so doing they open the field of heart surgery. The film traces the two men's work when they move in 1943 from Vanderbilt to Johns Hopkins, an institution where the only black employees are janitors and where Thomas must enter by the back door. But Thomas' remarkable manual dexterity and intellectual acumen confound Blalock's expectations, and Thomas rapidly becomes indispensable as a research partner to Blalock in his forays into heart surgery. Something the Lord Made tells the story of the 34-year partnership that begins in Depression Era Nashville in 1930 when Blalock ( Alan Rickman) hires Thomas ( Mos Def) as an assistant at his Vanderbilt University lab, expecting him to perform janitorial work. Based on the National Magazine Award-winning Washingtonian magazine article 'Like Something the Lord Made' by Katie McCabe, the film was directed by Joseph Sargent and written by Peter Silverman and Robert Caswell.
