When I was first admitted to the hospital, after the doctors told me I was dying, they offered me two choices. First I could get a transplant or a LVAD. I laughed and said, "That thing from Grey's Anatomy was real??" Turns out it definitely was.
Turns out lightning does strike twice. If you saw the Heart in a Box episode you will know what I am referring to. While I have been aware of this trial and therapy for a couple of months this is the first article that I have seen that talks about it. There are some really cool YouTube videos as well.
