The Reanimation of Full Life

In The Reanimation of Full Life, Pat Eichers presents a memoir of his 1987-2018 career at Medtronic, the company behind the battery-powered, wearable pacemaker and a global leader of implantable medical devices. Based on true events, Eichers recounts the pivotal moments that shaped his career: important lessons gleaned from clever problem solving, the determination to succeed, occasional luck, and, most of all, the wisdom and words of others... like those embossed on a bronze medallion. Eichers demonstrates the human element-and all its foibles-in an inexact and difficult profession, 'striving without reserve' in a business that demands perfection. From both scientific and literary perspectives, Eichers shares the technical and emotional journey across three decades inside biomedical device engineering.
