You know, I could argue that Iron Man is an allegory for medical devices.
However, I really do wish that I could do with my insulin pump what Tony Stark does with his arc reactor at the end of “Iron Man 3.” I also (unfortunately) don’t get super powers from it while it’s still attached to me.
If you agree, then I will point out that I am biking in the Tour de Cure this year in Princeton, NJ. If you like, you can support me with a donation. I only need $206 more to reach my fundraising goal!
Technically, you get exactly the same power from your implant that Tony does – not dieing. Although it does suck that existing implants can’t also be used to power suits of armor.
Thanks, Joe. I biked the Tour yesterday! (A little bit sore now…)
