The solution:
Working on medical devices, without a BMET school, only electronics, Science, and Engineering, I
wondered if I was going to be able to work effectively. I relied on all the things I still remembered; my
fundamentals. I leaned on the hard laws of physics, biology, chemistry, engineering in order to work
my way through a medical device. I would like to end on my favorite scientists who stated:
“Geometry does not teach us to draw these lines, but requires them to be drawn; for it requires that
the learner should first be taught to describe these accurately, before he enters upon geometry; then
it shows how by these operations problems may be solved.” For that reason, we in Healthcare
Technology Management must not see this profession as merely following tasks, and operations, but
we should learn ―why” we perform those tasks; because only this way are we able to solve problems
of truly significant events, as well as reach for the stars. Who is reaching with me?
