for July Life by prophecies Stephen West to be Chapter six. The man with Two Hearts, a successful cardiac surgeon is a man who, when asked to identify the three best surgeons in the world, has difficulty in naming the other two. Denton Cooley. It was quite by chance that I ever met Robert Job. I traveled to San Antonio in Texas for the 1995 meeting off the U. S. Society of Thoracic Surgeons. And it was there, while wandering around the Alamo that an executive in the cardiovascular industry asked me to give an opinion on a new product. He took me back to a corporate meeting with an engineer whose name I was well familiar with Robert Jolly. The device under consideration was a small turbine pump designed to boost blood flow down the legs off patients with severe peripheral arterial disease. When the company men moved off to that Dina with clients job turned to me and said, Come up to my hotel room. I have something interesting to show you. I'm always varied off such invitations from men, but on this occasion I was intrigued. First he filled the sink in the bathroom, then he took out a small plastic container from his briefcase. It looked like a sandwich box. On inside was a thumb sized titanium cylinder with an attached vascular tube graph on a silicon covered electric power cable. He put the titanium cylinder in the water, attach the cable to a telephone size controller and switched it on bush. This small, continuous flow pump shifted around five liters of water a minute, redirecting it through a graft back into the same without noise or vibration. John Wick had been working on the concept off a left ventricular boost apart for many years, one designed to be functional but forgettable for the patient. I then said something stupid. This is a great pomp of water, but if you put it in the bloodstream, it will clot or chew up the red cells, as if Jobbik had needed thought about these issues nor address them. Then I said something sensible, but I'd love to work with you to test it. Are they from the Food and Drugs Administration? If it looks good, we could use it in the UK long before you will get permission over here.
