Justin Frederick joins us again with another look into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this time with Iron Man and his fascinating Arc Reactor located in the center of his chest. Besides being a flashy target for the bad guys, the Arc Reactor serves a purpose in keeping Tony alive. In this episode, we discuss the physiological plausibility of an Arc Reactor in your chest as well as the history of pacemakers throughout the past few hundred years. 

This is NOT your physician's podcast. Hosts Shane Garrettson and Cal Vandergrift dive into the pharmacy world with fun, interesting, and downright weird topics!
