In short:
A mechanical heart has been implanted in a New South Wales man who was experiencing severe heart failure.
He has become the first person in the world to be discharged from hospital with the titanium heart.
What’s next?
Doctors say the invention will likely be an alternative for donor heart transplants in the future.
From the article…
I’m imagining some sort of an Iron Man situation
Sounds like actual hell.
The alternative is death, so a lot people would choose this instead.
Exposed wires? Does this mean I could overclock my heart with a bench power supply?
Hopefully it can just run off wall power while at home. It would suck to change in the middle of each night.
God the fear of accidentally sleeping through the alarm would probably keep me from sleeping at all
“When you hear the beeping you need to swap out the battery because if you don’t you’ll die. Goodnight.”
Isn’t that the plot from Crank 2 (kind of)?

Memories awoken.
At least if that happens, you’ll simply sleep for the rest of your life.
