Australian man survives 100 days with artificial heart in world-first success
Australian man survives 100 days with artificial heart in world-first success
Did some fuckin’ Aussie heart surgeon just breeze into a Home Depot and saunter into the plumbing aisle in his board shorts and flips flops and just whip together a heart out of brass fittings and teflon tape???
“Oi! DANNY, YA FUCKIN’ BOGAN! I DONE DID YA UP A NEW RICKY TICKEY—ALL FUCKIN’ SHINEY AND CHROME!!! GRAB A CARPET KNIFE AND SOME DUNNY GLOVES—WE’ll GET THIS FUCKER INTO YOUR BLUDGER CHEST BEFORE YA SHEILA SAYS YA WERE CHUCKING A SICKIE!”
SHINY AND CHROME
The surgeon yelled
WITNESS!!
And thrust the heart into their chest.
WITNESS!!!
SHINY AND CHROME TITANIUM
I think chrome references the color, not material. They called chrome colored cake paint "chrome."
Function over form, I suppose. I am pretty sure it's mostly made of titanium and silicone.
It does seems like that sometimes tho, that surgeons are the mechanics of the human body, fixing you up in the most crude ways, as long as it gets the job done.
Friend of mine who'd been in the room for bone surgeries said it was basically just carpentry. All saws, drills & screws.
It's been a while since I watched the video, but I think I remember this guy having some interesting things to say about surgeries. The things I vaguely remember align with what you said.
Chainsaws were invented for surgery.
That's the reason a friend of mine once said that surgeons are the only Doctor meds he has respect for.
Also, what do you mean form follows function? It looks like a fricking mini turbo charger 😎
It'd be a Bunnings down here not home depot, but it sure looks like it
I just gotta say.
Photoshopping is such a great skill to have. Thank you for making my day better.
Bunnings is the appropriate hardware store franchise here. He of course would have grabbed a Snag outside on the way home
For orthopods though, using power tools and sledgehammers is pretty much the name of the game.
Funny you would say that, the inventor credits trips with his father to Bunnings as inspiration for his work
