Thoughts for the day
Blue sky and wind seems to be the
weather of the day.
A week after the election, Rueben
Gallego (D) has won his seat in the US Senate. It is a bright spot in the
election results.
Why did Trump suggest the new
Republican Senate recess after the inauguration so he can make recess
appointments without Senate hearings or votes? I know he has a plan, but guess
I’ll have to wait to see what it is.
Tomorrow, I get my quarterly teeth
cleaning.
Myths
Myth #17: If Your Heart Stops
Television dramas thrive on the
heart-pounding intensity of a doctor shouting, “Clear!” while they jolt a
flat-lining patient. But let’s set the record straight: defibrillators aren’t
magical heart restart buttons. These lifesaving devices are designed to deliver
an electric shock to a heart that’s beating irregularly, often due to a
condition called ventricular fibrillation.
Their purpose? To restore the
heart’s rhythm to a normal, steady beat, not to kickstart it from a complete
standstill. Contrary to the Hollywood spectacle, if the heart has entirely
ceased its rhythmic dance, even the mightiest defibrillator can’t work its
resurrection magic.
