Great day for the family

Great news!

Frank, did I ever tell you I was a Dialysis Tech for many years before I was a cop? Even helped out with a kidney harvest or two......

Transplants are much more successful these days than they were 30 years ago. The anti-rejection drugs are much more effective now.

Still, the number one cause for failed transplants is failure to take the meds. Make sure that boy stays on track!

Great day for the family

Auerbach, it's been awhile since I was actively involved, but I visited a Dialysis center several years ago and found that not a lot has changed. Seems that we did most of the innovations 30 years ago.

That said, medicine becomes more technical and reliant on various electronic instruments with each passing day. Every hospital has need of bio-medical engineers to service and safety check the ever more complex equipment.

I suggest starting at a hospital in this era because hospitals rarely lay workers off. People still get sick no matter what the economy does, but medical equipment manufacturing is subject to the ravages of the stock market.

We used to have an expression: You can make it fool proof but it can never be nurse proof. I don't imagine things have changed in that regard. It is sort of like built in job security.

Many bio-med engineers lack actual patient care exposure and end up designing products that work better on the bench than in the field. Hospital work sounds a bit mundane, but a bright soul can invent and innovate at that level and maybe even create a marketable product based on keen observation and insight.

While I worked in the clinics I made several innovations, including one that got attention at an international artificial internal organ conference.

It's all what you make of it. I wish him the best of luck......
