Toddler received world’s smallest artificial heart as he waited for a transplant
Italian doctors have saved the life of a 16-month-old boy by implanting the world’s smallest artificial heart to keep the infant alive until a donor was found for a transplant.
The tiny titanium pump weighs only 11 grams and can handle a blood flow of 1.5 liters a minute. An artificial heart for adults weighs 900 grams.
Surgeon Antonio Amodeo said the baby had become family and his team wanted to do everything to help him.
“Every day, every hour, for more than one year he was with us. So when we had a problem we couldn’t do anything more than our best,” he said. (Photo: Alessandro Bianchi/Reuters)(Source: nationalpost)

Think I wanna go to Upper Limits again this weekend. Especially since its supposed to be a billion degrees outside!I am very fond of this photo that my friend Abby took of me belaying and Reid climbing. Rock climbing is one of my favorite activities and really gives me an opportunity to work through the stresses of the week. I am very fortunate to have friends that share my interest.

For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.F. Scott. Fitzgerald

I’m gonna be the best damn physician this town has ever seen (or whatever town I end up going to med school in)! Dammit!!!!

Right now I’m having major déjà vu. I’m at Wash U waiting for my 3 pm class to start, and I can’t believe how much it seems like yesterday when I was sitting in this exact spot waiting for one of my classes to start in 2004. I keep expecting Ben or one of my friends to walk by and ask if I wanna study together or go to The Loop for dinner tonight. And I wish I still had that amazing dorm to go back to after class, where Becca, Katie, and Jess would be waiting for me to do our ridiculous made up aerobics that just ended up with us hysterically laughing on the floor. I had my whole life ahead of me, and I never would’ve guessed I’d end up where I am now… It’s bittersweet. :-(
I can’t believe it’s been EIGHT years since I was a student here. Where does the time go?!?!
PS - Becca just graduated from med school, Katie’s in the peace corp and just got engaged, and Jess just finished her doctorate at MIT (after an amazing undergrad career at Harvard). I’m happy for them, I’m happy for them, I’m happy for them….
