So maybe you can fix a malfunctioning pancreas ? well done ! For how long ? Come on ! What about a failing heart, perhaps you can fix that too ?
Now, here's a little story. I developed a heart condition which put me in the very serious category. One side of the heart was enlarged causing the ventricle to only partially operate correctly, you could see this on the echogram, and the back pressure was forcing liquid from my blood into my lung.
'Is there anything I should be doing to help stop this?' I asked.
'No, it won't get better, the best we can hope for is to manage it by controlling blood pressure. Don't worry, many of my patients having been coming to see me for ten years or more', the consultant told me.
Three years later I was signed off as the situation improved and eventually disappeared.
'Quite remarkable' he said. 'We don't see this normally'.
They never actually did know why this was happening, only that it was happening and then stopped happening.
reminded me of my programming days:
'Blimey, have you got it working?'
'Yes'
'How?'
'No idea'.
