Ich dachte mein Strähne ungarischer Mentoren sei an ihr Ende gelangt, aber fast sofort traf ich Francis Robicsek, einen ungarischen Doktoren - genauer gesagt einen Herzchirurgen in Charlotte, North Carolina, damals Ende 70 - der ein Pionier der offenen Herzchirurgie war und, in seiner Garage hinter seinem Haus bastelnd, viele der Geräte erfand, die für jene Prozeduren Normteile darstellen.
I thought my skein of Hungarian mentors had come to an end, but almost immediately I met Francis Robicsek, a Hungarian doctor -- actually a heart surgeon in Charlotte, North Carolina, then in his late seventies -- who had been a pioneer in open-heart surgery, and, tinkering away in his garage behind his house, had invented many of the devices that are standard parts of those procedures.
