I used to believe that those defibrillators used by doctors were to restart a heart
That myth is still pushed by many TV shows to this day, unfortunately. I believe that most public emergency defibrillators work automatically, so that is nice.
Yup, defibrillators are for arythmia, and work by stopping the heart for a moment to let the heart restart itself and get back into rhythm.
TIL and no, I never watched that much ER episodes.
BF players: yeah, they are good for gunshots, knife stabs, if blown up by mines, run over by a jeep or pulverized by a sabot round. And agains lethal falls.
"Griff, why in the hell would you give someone CPR for a bullet wound in the head!? That doesn't make a lick of sense."
"You're welcome, Sir."
