    So if someones heart stops we don’t actually shock them. That’s a medical show myth. We shock them if they’re in something called a lethal rhythm. Which is the heart beating but not actually pumping blood. Very similar to the heart stopping and will eventually lead to the heart giving out. CPR keeps the blood flowing which keeps oxygen moving throughout the body preventing permanent damage. We give medications to restart the heart. They don’t really die until these interventions are stopped. Some people also have a pacemaker that detects their heart going into a lethal rhythm and will take over the electrical impulse until their heart goes back to normal. By the definition of the heart stopping this person would technically die and be brought back too. So I see what you’re saying but I wanted to add some context that this is pretty complex. Even more so when you bring in people deciding when they don’t want these interventions.

    So we used a color system that’s mostly standardized. Code blue is respiratory or cardiac arrest, code red is fire, code gray is security, etc. we’re changing to plain language as that’s been shown to be best practice. Everything is still a code though. We’ve had code trauma, code stemi, code stroke. We also have rapid response for anything that doesn’t meet a code criteria but still needs assistance. My favorite was code brown for severe weather alert as that was our slang for cleaning a patient.

    We use a lot to define being alive not just the heart. The heart stopping is just an easy way to pronounce someone dead. What you described is called a pause. Not really the same thing. Brain death is also a thing. Any organ transplant allows you to function when otherwise you wouldn’t be able to.



  • The results from the poll — along with our analysis of early voting and other statistics — confirm our expectation that longstanding political trends in these states will hold,” said David Scott, a senior editor who helps oversee AP’s coverage of elections.

    Still, the AP won’t call the winner of a race before the last polls close in a jurisdiction, including in states where the polls don’t all close at once.

    Oh no is that the explanation AP gave for calling races early. They look at early vote counts and use polling data, and then based on historical trends call it if it’s within a certain range. But what does AP know about calling elections. They only have a 99.9% track record.





  • Everyone talks about tariffs. That’s not the issue. The issue is a universal tariff based on chatgpt. He didn’t even calculate the correct tariffs rates on the US. The other issue is most of the 1% have the means to buy boatloads of stock right now as it’s crashing. Companies won’t lose money. They’ll pass this onto consumers and workers. Raise prices, no bonuses, cut staff. So the working class will be hit the hardest while the 1% profits. And these tariffs aren’t expected to actually bring any manufacturing back to the US.
