How shocking!! (5.00 / 3) (#11)
by kraftysue on Mon Nov 26, 2007 at 04:31:12 PM EST
As a former cardiac nurse, I am always amused by the media calling it "an electrical impulse" may be required.  It is a full electric shock like you see during a cardiac arrest.

Of course, he bamboozled the media when the "pacemaker" was inserted in the first place. It is not a pacemaker--it is a defibrillator first and foremost. The only time it becomes a pacemaker is if the shock stops the heart instead of the arrhythmia. I'm sure they did not want the public to know how serious his condition was.

Thanks for the info-thought this might be the case from what I understand. But gee-them lie or twist the facts?--how unpatriotic and unamerican.

how any god that humans have dreamed up can allow this criminal to flourish makes sense only when you look at how many other criminals there are running kleptocracies around the globe.

starvation, abuse, war and genocide, decade after decade, century after century and yet this god doesn't recognize that its time to pull the plug on this human experiement.

Any time I see stories of lots of tiny kids living in the streets, preyed on by sex tourists, I call it proof there is no god.
