A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from a V8 when he looked up and spotted a well-known cardiologist in the repair shop who was waiting for the service manager to take a look at his car.
The mechanic shouted across the garage, “Hey doc, c’mere and take a look at this.” The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working.
The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, “So, doc, look at this car. I opened its heart, took the valves out, repaired and replaced anything that was damaged and then put everything back in. And when I finished, it worked just like new. So how is it that I make $38,000 a year and you make $1.7 million when you and I are doing basically the same work?”
The cardiologist paused, then said to the mechanic, “Try doing it with the engine running.”

They may stop the heart, but they don’t stop the circulatory process. The blood is run through an Ecmo machine to keep it properly oxygenated/remove the CO2 while continuing to provide that blood back to the organs and tissues which so desperately need it.

Not really. And also, if you break something in an engine, you can get another engine or another car. If you break something (catastrophic during open heart surgery) inside a person you can’t get a new son/daughter/mother/father/etc.
