Brilliant story… no doubt the engineers on here , people like donr, will have orgasms just reading it.

There are many jokes about engineers. I like :-

Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of the human body. One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints."

Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections."

The last said, "Actually it was a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"

Cheers

..............................I read this story too. Six years ago while having an op for a new aortic valve my aorta was at risk, so I had what is called an 'Aortic Wrap'...as in, just that. Dacron is used, Dacron is a polyester, known in the UK sometimes as Terylene.

Tal Golesworthy..the engineer bloke appears to have had the same procedure.

Have I missed something ??

Why are you baffled ??

Tat Man If you read the article it says :-

And nine years since his operation, the 57 year old engineer from Gloucestershire in the UK, has managed to help over 40 people with similar conditions.

If you had your op in the last 9 years YOU WERE ONE OF THEM ! You should send Mr Golesworthy a Xmas card, and a case of whisky !
