Comments on CARMAT Bioprosthetic Total Human Heart Replacement
'George Walt's corporate existence proved the workability of wholly mechanical organs...'- Philip K. Dick, 1964. (Read
the complete story)
| "The problem with being an avid science fiction reader and then seeing science reality is that reality often winds up feeling like a (very rough) first draft. I was pretty impressed with this until I saw all the klugey external gear that goes with it. Give me a one piece prosthetic or give me death!" (Erik N. 5/14/2013 7:30:15 PM) |
| "I, too, am a bit of a purist. However, the benefit of this device is that the patient can apparently walk around entirely untethered to other machinery. Which is a pretty good accomplishment. Sorry about the let-down, though." (Bill Christensen 5/14/2013 7:41:18 PM) |
| "didn't Chev Chelios wear a little fanny pack like that along with his mechanical heart in Crank 2?" ( 5/14/2013 7:46:54 PM) |
| "Not your fault Bill. You're just keeping us informed. Mostly I blame the world for not living up to my expectations. And you're right; being able to go untethered is a huge step. " (Erik N. 5/14/2013 8:16:40 PM) |
| "Interesting that the artificial ventricles pump alternately, while the natural ventricles pump together.Presumably there is enough "give" in the system to compensate. I wonder what it sounds like." (Peter Jacobs 5/15/2013 4:05:06 PM) |
| "I wonder what it feels like from the inside." ( 5/15/2013 7:54:15 PM) |
