Slashdot Mirror
The DIY Dialysis Machine
Millie Kelly was born with a condition that required an immediate operation. During this operation her kidneys started to fail and since she was too small for dialysis machines, doctors told her parents that she was unlikely to live. Luckily for Millie, Dr. Malcolm Coulthard and a colleague tried to build a much smaller kidney machine on their own and they were successful. Her mother said, "It was a green metal box with a few paint marks on it with quite a few wires coming out of it into my daughter - it didn't look like a normal NHS one." The girl was hooked up to the machine over a seven day period to allow her kidneys to recover. Two years later, her mother Rebecca says she is "fit as a fiddle." You should see what Dr. Coulthard can build using a postage stamp, a tuning fork, a lawn chair and a jellyfish.
Chewing gum was used, he's got nothing on Macgyver.
There are no loopholes. It's either legal or it's not.
now i trust there will be a whole slashdot article category devoted to these girls? i, for one, welcome our new humanoid dialysis-building overlords.

If we can put a man on the moon, why can't we shoot people for Apollo-related non-sequiturs?
Indeed, I SHOULD see that. What the hell DOES the good doctor make out of those things?!?
"You should see what Dr. Coulthard can build using a postage stamp, a tuning fork, a lawn chair and a jellyfish"
I guess some sort of reclining jello chair that resonates with certain sonic frequencies that he can send in the mail. See, being MacGyver isn't THAT hard.

True poetry, this I like to add.

Good riddance to 'em. Those MySpace weenies think that slashdot users should be able to IM each other -- within slashdot.
MacGyver did it in season 5 episode 5 "Second Chance" way back in 1989. He must have taped it and copied MacGyver's design.
One of our competitors trademarked the term "hypothesis". From now on, we will call them "boneheaded ideas".
I would like to nominate this as best sentence of the year.

My bad. Of course we all REALLY believe you are hot...
...you had better be a model yourself. Given that you are posting here on Slashdot that's pretty unlikely...
As a 26 year old model and C coder, and grandmother of three, I am offended by your comment.
I for one, saw the picture
I thought most Slashdotters used lynx so people wouldn't know they were slacking off?

i had some pretty awful pizza last night but since i'm not a chef I can't really say anything about it.
at least nobody can complain about my code now since they aren't programmers. I'll take the tradeoff.
That depends on what role you're auditioning for, sweetheart.
Well, now I know what a DIDG is...
I like to place meaningful quotes in my sig, so people will know that I know what meaningful quotes are.
I just scrolled past it. I thought it was the flash advert for slimming products. Or babies.
