The symbiosis between engineering and medicine.
This paper discusses the contribution of engineering to medicine, and the relationships that exist between the two disciplines. Engineers have followed a rational approach to analyse the physician's needs and have begun to bridge the gap between engineering and medicine. As a result, there has been a proliferation of life-saving products made by the industrial sector of society. The author offers suggestions for engineers and doctors to help them improve communications and better understand each other's problems.
