for those who are curious to know how a human heart looks like.

the white cup-like objects are the artificial hearts.

if someone told you that those cup-like things were gonna keep you alive,
would you believe them?
simple yet extraordinary indeed.
it costs a bomb though.
its 106 000 dollars.
these Artificial Hearts are only used for patients who firstly have money,
secondly to those whose hearts are in really bad condition.

the process is not simple.
but if it keeps u alive so be it.
the doctors make a rectangular incision around the heart.
they remove the worn out heart,
and replace it with the artificial one.
tubes from the artificial heart are connected to an external pump
dat keeps the heart beating.
the external pump is kinda big actually.

to give you a living example

although these artificial hearts cost a bomb,
they are in great demand.
furthermore it is only a temperory fix till the patient gets a real heart,
frm a donor.
