The man who invented the coronary by-pass didn't patent it so everybody will benefit of it. René Favaloro, probably my favourite countryman.

if there is "prior art" (in other words someone can prove you weren't first) then no.
BearForceTwo
at this point it would be considered public domain if anyone tried so the patent would just get outright rejected.

I'd rather have heart surgery in the US. At least my family would be able to see the surgeon, and make some money if I die.

Ching Shih (the pirate). I lived in her city (Guangzou = Canton). Makes sense. Cantonese were the main traders in China (created Hong Kong).

#2 Rommels participation in attempts at Hitlers life have been debunked since a few years ago. He was actually quite fond of the man.
Vergenbuurg
#2, he also has an anime high-school girl inspired by him.

Who doesn't though. I'd only be mildly surprised if there was an anime girl inspired by me.

WeylandAve
That Rommel one is a lie. A silly myth that people keep peddling. Rommel was not part of the conspiracy to assassinate Hitler.
canadianreserve
Not all historians agree. But you seem quite certain. Were you one of the planners of the plot? Is that how you know?
WeylandAve
Yeah, I was part of the plot that's how I know. Or I read a few books whichever makes more sense.
skosko12
I find it hard to believe someone has donated blood 1000 times. The standard is 3-4 months inbetween each tap. 3-4 per year. 250 years...
KeatonJazz
Started at age 18 until age 58 = 40 years. 2x/mo. X12/year x 40 years = 960. So, it's doable if he donates twice a month.
rocketturttle
you can donate every other week if they replace what they take out. Only done for people with rare and needed blood attributes
skosko12
I assumed it was a standard blood donation. He donated blood plasma which is easier for the body to replace and can be donated every 14 days
mimomisu
I just looked it up, you can donate up until 24 times a year in this case, the guy was born in 1936. It checks out
Guestmod
if you're donating platelets you can donate every month
mimomisu
every two weeks according to wiki
Guestmod
plus it used to be you could donate more frequently
CPTNNemo
The first one is bullshit... 1000 times that is 83 years IF he donated every month which is a lie since you can donate blood every 3 months
BlueElephant92
#2 the theory that rommel conspirated against hitler is quite critically seen in todays rommel research and probably not true

Who says I don't read? My interests just don't include Erwin Rommel.
Chuletathewonder
It's not our fault they don't teach us this in school most people are in school all their lives and don't really want to learn on free time
Chuletathewonder
And people who are not in school are too busy working to want to do stuff like this in free time either I think schools should cover his
Chuletathewonder
Story because when you literally go to school all day you would rather play than learn considering learning/working is your whole existence
overdrv
It is completely your fault. I can understand not knowing engineering or complex math. But there is no excuse for not knowing history.
Chuletathewonder
Again though we work all day or learn all day we generally don't want to learn in our free time or we just don't have time
Chuletathewonder
Considering the fact that most our life is working and school you generally want to do something you enjoy

History is so important. Everything happening in the world is based on history and knowledge stops it from repeating.

That pirate queen is real too. She was so successful that she retired willingly.

You know shes real because she was one of the pirate lords in pirates of the carribean. http://pirates.wikia.com/wiki/Ching true story.
GlennGW
The Erwin Rommel one is quite true. Hitler ordered him to commit suicide and have a proper bureal and the family left alone, or face (1/2)
GlennGW
publix execution, shaming his name and family, along with the punishment of the family. (suicide by Cyanide pill btw)
Dilbartbert
The facts on Rommel are highly debated. Some people think that the story of him being against hitler and all that was a political play
TheRealKhy
It would have been a brilliant way to root out Hitler's enemies inside his regime.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
And some say he was too politically naive to really be on anyone's side.
xtsnx
13 litres? fucking hell, what happened to him that he needed that much blood? top fucking man though!
megsovereasy
In the US, typically you have to wait 8 wks btw donations. That's 166 years of donating. Impressive.
Burke616
Probably a long surgical procedure, bleeding the whole time. "Shit, he's getting low, get another bag in here."
Fribbtastic
Regarding Wiki it was only 5 litres of Blood and it was Blood Plasma as donation which can be donated every 2 weeks whole Blood every 62 day
UpxxYoursxxInc
Cannon to the chest

Must've started bleeding out in the OR. I've done the same- it's not that rare.

Since there between 4.5 - 5.5 liters of blood in an adult 13 liters is quite the wound.

These days, we're more resistant to bullets.
wotemer
in a time where surgery was less refined and there were no re-transfunding machines, that could've been something like a fracture
wotemer
(if you rupture the femoral artery for example)
humanhotplate
I thought if you ruptured the femoral artery you pretty much died, because it bleeds out so fast, even today.
Syphryn
There are a lot of ways to can help prevent bleeding without advanced medical supplies.
JustLettingPeopleBeWrong
Depends on how bad, if there was sufficient pressure or a tourniquet, etc etc. Many factors involved in how fast you bleed.
wotemer
Not if you're already on the table. And nearly all arteries bleed out like crazy.
Guestmod
its weird to think he wouldn't pass today's safety standards for donation (at least in ireland) can't donate if you've received blood
FairlyLocal98101
I was also wondering about that...
Mihakuu
Red cross website say that standard is for if you received the transfusion in the UK or France since 1980 due to mad cow
merpderphurpburp
Maybe they made an exception because of his rare blood
ArcaneM37
They discovered his rare blood after his first donation. Never would have found it if he wasn't allowed the first time.
Mihakuu
Regulation started in 1980, he started donating in 1954, and the regulation was if you received the transfusion in the UK or france.
Guestmod
It's a newer regulation though, he probably started before it was brought in
SuckAnElf
Why not?
Azjsy
The standards for donating blood here are the same. Gays can't give blood. Not sure why
ausaur
That rule was made back during the aids crisis
MrE158
Ireland's rolling that back a bit - gay men will be allowed donate if they've gone 12 months without sex with a man.
rocketturttle
HIV risk
Guestmod
I don't get it either but it is one of the requirements. You can't have lived in the U.K. During the B.S.E. (mad cow disease) crisis either
Mihakuu
I just Google this. The blood transfusion and this mad cow thing are related.
Guestmod
they're very very strict to ensure blood is safe because anyone needing a donation is at their most vulnerable
SuckAnElf
The mad cow thing is why I can't donate blood, that's the same in the US as well as if you've had gay sex in the last 12 months (I think)
esbi72
#3 the cost of living in India is less than 10% of that in the US. Medical procedures are the same. Oh and good luck with the heart surgery!
wotemer
to make this procedure 'safe' you need a ton of pre and post surgery care. good 1st world healthcare is expensive.
overcookedchickennugget
If so, it's still six times cheaper than in US given their respective cost of living.
NM156
I dont think I would put my trust in discount heart surgery.
overcookedchickennugget
Well it's not discount from their perspective. In Canada or Europe it would be cheaper than in the US with same if not better success rate.

Are you implying that Indian doctors can't do that surgery?? I think they do most of those surgeries in the US also.

Higher mortality for the same procedure in India. Enjoy the discount if you live.

well, what about Europe then? i pay 106 bucks a month for healthcare and get 90 of it back. if i needed that surgery id pay 385 bucks extra.
fr057by73
And who gets to determine if you "need" it? It certainly isn't you.
BearForceTwo
you consult medical professionals that aren't inhumane idiots? we actually give a shit about each other over here.
fr057by73
Just like the Gards did?
chamilitary
Its not you in the states either. Last i checked you had to ask your insurance company for permission to have surgery, or get expensive meds
fr057by73
Sure, if I want my insurance to pay for it. but I don't have anyone waiting to forbid me if I decide to raise money and pay it alone.
