German is a brilliant language for this kind of stuff.
They've got some truly wonderfull words.
One of my favourite insults in German is "Sitzpinkler"
Impossible to translate directly into English.
It's a contraction of two words: "sitzen" which means to sit down and "pinklen" which means to urinate.
You can only use it for men and it means something like: you're to weak to even pee standing up

That's good, but unfortunately, it's actually a hearty stoppy. When you have a heart attack, the heart doesn't initially stop, it goes into an irregular beat. The defib delivers a shock that momentarily stops the heart, allowing it to "reboot" and restart immediately on it's own, hopefully in the correct rhythm. If you've actually flatlined, the defib won't be any use at all. But on tv it looks more dramatic for the machine to flatline and the defib to shock you back to life, which is why they show it that way. XJSJohn said:

PS automated defibrillators will not give a shock unless the heart is in a "shockable rhythm", i.e., VF or VT. If you're in VF or VT, your heart has stopped as it's not pumping blood round the body. Individual cardiac myocytes contracting asynchronously such that the heart as a whole isn't functioning doesn't mean that the heart hasn't stopped. It definitely has stopped.

I guess that's why when someone is being treated for a HA but go into CA, there's a lot more flurry going on! QuickQuack said:

Thank you for this. And I've just read your full explanation. Very helpful. And well done for doing clever medical stuff. I was critically injured in a road accident once and wouldn't be around if it were not for people like you. Edited by Randy Winkman on Saturday 20th April 17:44
