탈 골스워디는 배관과 도관에 대한 전문적인 지식을 가진 보일러 엔지니어다.  그래서 그는 생명을 위협하던 대동맥 확장증 때문에 수술을 받아야 했을 때 그의 공학적인 기술과 담당의사들의 의학 지식을 융합하여 향상된 시술방법을 개발했다.

탈 골스워디: 내가 내 심장을 어떻게 수리했는가?

When faced with a life-threatening aortic dilation, a process engineer applied his skills from boiler maintenance to redesign the surgical solution.

The project required a multidisciplinary team, overcoming medical skepticism and bureaucratic barriers. After seven and a half years and 90 patient-years, not a single problem emerged among 30 recipients.
