In Life-Changing Medical Invention, Dr. John Allen Pacey offers insight
into the high-impact world of operating room innovation. Physicians
today have the opportunity to revolutionize the healthcare industry by
inventing new medical platforms to improve patient care and reduce
costs. As a Vascular and General Surgeon himself, Dr. Pacey brings 15
years of innovative experience, having guided the invention of 33
GlideScope variants and 6 aperture video retractor variants for surgeons
as well as the invention of supportive tools. You'll learn about... -
Passion and life-changing "Eureka" moments experienced by great
inventors. - Creating an idea is followed by a ten-plus-year period of
"execution" during which one must entrain money, great people, and build
a new world for all. - The profound importance of "Mentoring" and "Know
thy Customer". - Planning unique invention to avoid "me too" ideas that
fail to add value. - Learning how to create a " Blue Ocean Opportunity"
and sell to real customers for real money so that you can exploit your
passion further. - The benefit of sweat equity, frugality, and
bootstrapping to pull through the "valley of death" and benefit of
persistence to "never surrender". If you are a physician with a
patentable idea or a student hoping to become an inventor, this book
will provide examples of those who persisted and won.
