The guy I'm remodeling for is a high powered PHD engineer for Medtronic.
He mentioned he would bring a sample of the project he's working on home so I could see it. He showed it to me this morning.
It's a heart pump that is permanently inserted into the chest cavity and bypasses the heart. The heart is left in place. The pigtail on it comes out of the body below the rib cage and plugs into a battery pack. I asked him what something like that costs and he wouldn't say but but he did say just to manufacture it costs north of the price of a new Camry.
I asked if I could post these photos here and he said ok.
I run in to some interesting things and people at my job.
