I'm a Rehabilitation Engineer, basically that means I work for the health board desiging electronic and mechanial aids for severely disabled people. This used to be bespoke electronics but nowadays the things we used to design are now being manufactured comercially so its more a case of adapting exisiting sysetem to suit patients needs. The mechanical aspects are mostly to do with special seating for wheelchairs and the odd prosthetic mod job. I've been doing this since I left school, apart from a 2 year sabatical to medical physics to learn more about the ultrasound field. I can turn out most things nowadays but the quality of my homer work does leave a fair bit to be desired...its a time thing I guess....the faster I work in lunch time the more I can eat when I'm finished lol
