Man lives for over a year without a heart in his body

A patient in dire need of a heart transplant lived for 17 months with an external artificial heart he carried around in a backpack.

He is absolutey amazing guy. He has great guts and dare to do anything. He had the hope to live and our technology helped him. What time was that when without a heart no one can think to live. Technology changed everything.

With advancement in the technology all of this is possible. But surely it must be very hard for the guy to cope up with the difficulty. A normal person can never imagine that.

I remember another guy who survived for a while without a heart but he looked ill, like seriously ill. By comparison this dude looks relatively healthy.

Definitely one can't compare the working of complex real heart with that of an artificial heart.

That sucks, but at the same time that's amazing.

An absolutely incredible tale and yet another amazing example of just what good science and technology can do.
