There's nothing like having a cold that you just can't kick to motivate you to think about improving medicine.
Personally, since I'm slightly asthmatic, any cold I have always ends with my lungs full of phlegm. What does that mean? Well, it means that my lungs feel about a quarter full, I always have to cough (and nothing much helps that), and I usually cough up lots and lots of gunk.
The solution?
A lung vacuum!
Please! I would love a tiny, tiny tube that I could stick somewhere that would not damage my vocal folds (I guess that's probably the tricky part) and get all of this uncomfortable gunk out. Any of you in a medical engineering profession, take note.
