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.

      God the fear of accidentally sleeping through the alarm would probably keep me from sleeping at all

          I had completely forgotten about those movies!

          Cheesy action flicks that I remember loving, I’ve got to watch them again

          Thank you for reminding me that they exist!
