    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???

      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.

        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 😎

      I just gotta say.

      Photoshopping is such a great skill to have. Thank you for making my day better.

      Funny you would say that, the inventor credits trips with his father to Bunnings as inspiration for his work

      For orthopods though, using power tools and sledgehammers is pretty much the name of the game.

      Bunnings is the appropriate hardware store franchise here. He of course would have grabbed a Snag outside on the way home
