But I know that if I hadn’t tried to do it, then four, maybe five years later someone else would have. What I am sure of, however, is that no one else in Poland would have started working on developing an artificial heart. Had I not fought to create this device, a few hundred people would not be alive today because we wouldn’t have had ventricular assist devices which saved their lives and wellbeing.” – Zbigniew Religa, famous Polish cardiac surgeon}, type={Article}, title={Life-giving robots}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/112457/PDF-MASTER/034-037%20nawrat_ang.pdf}, keywords={human health, artificial hearts}, }
