As a valve design engineer I'd like to know, what went wrong with the valve? With the somewhat slim hope of helping you fix it without surgery.

That is kind of awesome you can run self diagnostics on yourself at work. And the image of your neurosurgeon trying the tried and true method of hitting it to make it work is amusing, I'm glad mine never tried that! (spine surgery, something else entirely).

Thanks for the video, interesting valve. I see why they designed it like that, though I would have tried something else because bio fouling is annoying on aircraft and I imagine even more so when an operation is required. (yeah sorry, kind of douchy of me to second guess other peoples designs after the fact) How often does it require pressure adjustment?

That is very inspiring. How do you combat burnout from working on too much? Seems like most of my projects are mind intensive and it eventually gets fatigued.

Thank you for working on products which have such a positive impact on peoples lives. And thanks for the answer, that must be a difficult problem to solve.

I have some ideas, let me know if you want to talk some more about designs off Reddit. I already have one magnetic valve patent, maybe we can come up with something to prevent some surgeries.
