PACEMAKER
Sara Mansour
It wasn’t until the year 1958-1960 that the pacemaker came to be. Before then patients suffering from cardiac malfunction could do very little to change their fate. It shocks many to
think that this amazing invention that’s saving many lives worldwide was a result of an accident. An accident, that occurred, under the hands of Mr. Wilson Greatbatch. Mr. Wilson received a bachelor of Electri cal Engineering from Cornell University in 1950 and later acquired a master’s from the University of Buffalo in 1957. Mr. Wilson is a brilliant renowned
creator with over three hundred and twenty-five patents to his name. As his invention
came about as a result of an accident he strongly believed that his inventions were intervened by the divine.
