    I remember reading about this years ago. It's so cool seeing it being used successfully in a patient! Technology like this makes me feel better about the future.

      I actually asked this very question in another post and got a technician who worked on this to answer:

        This is Australia, so the patient would be out of pocket about $2.50 for parking at the hospital.

          It's really cool, but also kind of depressing, to see what we're capable of when we're also speed running to extinction while not even implementing well-known and obvious mitigation steategies.

            I guess that could be the specific dystopia we're aiming for. It's a hell of a race to beat the other dystopias/apocalypses there though. But what else would you expect from a type 13 planet in it's final stage?

              Apparently you can live with a BiVACOR TAH for around 10 years without replacement due to the Maglev system inside it.

              Gosh it feels like cyberpunk 2077 is just a few years away, we just need more corporate built cities.

                Canada's the same except we have serious parking mafia and it's c$20.

                When my dear friend suffered a Widowmaker heart attack, and they lit up and staffed a theatre on an early holiday Sunday morning for a brace of stents, he didn't have to sell his house to make payments for it... Because it was c$20 for parking and a bit more for some really bad coffee. Costs were borne by all of us and it was pre-paid from taxes.

                Dude survived and annoys us with his sarcasm and piss-takes to this day.

                  Friend of mine who'd been in the room for bone surgeries said it was basically just carpentry. All saws, drills & screws.

                  Chainsaws were invented for surgery.

                    The Australian researchers and doctors behind the operation announced on Wednesday that the implant had been an “unmitigated clinical success” after the man lived with the device for more than 100 days before receiving a donor heart transplant in early March.

                    Just in case anyone else also found the title ambiguous regarding whether "100 days" meant he died 😅

                    There's been a lot of cases at the start of transplant tech where people have willingly gone through the surgery, knowing they would almost certainly die, and their living 100days was counted as a massive success.
                    The fact this guy lived 100 days, got a donor heart, and is still, currently, alive... that's icing.

                        Yes exactly, so when they call it a "total heart replacement" I'd like to have clarification on it, so that I know how excited I should get

                        It's frustrating when articles on new innovations don't go into details about them at all except just "it exists" pretty much

                        Don't know if you had your answer already, the artificial heart does pump harder when exercising
