A heart that once beat erratically has regained its natural rhythm. A woman paralyzed by an automobile accident is now able to resume her favorite hobby. Physicians using a robotic surgeon named da Vinci perform lifesaving operations. These are some of the feats of biomedical engineering, one of the fastest-moving areas in medicine. In this exhilarating book, award-winning writer Fen Montaigne journeys through this little-known world, sharing the stories of ordinary people who have been transformed by technology.
From the almost commonplace pacemaker to the latest generation of artificial hearts, Montaigne tells the stories of pioneering patients, engineers, and surgeons. Taking the reader behind the scenes of a dozen of America's leading centers of biomedical engineering, Montaigne recounts the field's history while describing cutting-edge work in medical imaging, orthopedics, cardiovascular care, neurological therapies, and genetics.
Through the stories of patients whose lives have been saved and improved by biomedical devices, Montaigne reveals the marriage of medicine and engineering to be one of society's greatest advances.

Medicine by Design
This book is something to read if you're interested in learning about the field of bio medical engineering and how far it's come in the past half century. If you're looking for one of those books to read while you're drinking coffee with your book club, I don't think this is it. It's something that only a biological science/medicine lover would pick up. Nothing like the watered down NYT bestsellers that brush over topics. It's more of a historical report on engineering in the life sciences. Even the anecdotes are the kind only a scientist would love. I wish that it were a book I could do the former with, so I'm being petty and withholding two stars.
