How defibrillators work in movies:
“There’s no pulse. CLEAR! *zap* Oh thank God, he’s coming back.”
How defibrillators work in real life:
“He’s asystole. Call it. Time of death 5:23PM”

@drmaddkap who hurt you?
@book The same person who decided to put “shot of adrenaline through the chest into the heart” as part of a movie.
That’s not life saving. That’s instant death. Rupture the heart wall, quick bleed out.

@drmaddkap CPR in films: clean, pretty, reliable
CPR in real life: you probably just broke a rib, you're tired by the second set, and there's still no/weak pulse. Oh and that snoring? Yeah, that's agonal breathing. They're not back yet. Keep going.

And the outcomes are terrible. No one walks out of the hospital IF they survive CPR.
I hate medical procedurals' clean endings.

@drmaddkap @book
Sometimes I give myself a shot of adrenaline through the chest just to feel something -

@drmaddkap @book See also : Gunshot wounds in movies. Sure, that little dressing will fix you up nicely. Of course you'll be able to run, jump and fight with no issues what so ever :D

@BenHM3 @eviljackcarver @drmaddkap so while the odds are terrible *I* did!
(Out of hospital cardiac arrest, CPR & defib by some Marines (randomly). Heart bypass. Walked (very slowly) out of the hospital three and a half weeks later. Still alive & kicking 7 years on)

@BenHM3 @eviljackcarver @drmaddkap Some survive, but not all that many. I do remember admitting a patient to ITU from the operating theatre recovery after a successful restart of his heart, thinking it would be doom and gloom in the morning. When I arrived, he was just getting back from the shower.

@drmaddkap Don't defibrilators do a lot fancier stuff than just that?
> “He’s asystole. Call it. Time of death 5:23PM”
"My Robot Buddy the Defibrillator" or something. -

I injected adrenaline once, thanks Hunter S. Thompson. It floored me. I never did it again.

@eviljackcarver I figure there's good reason why, in actual first aid classes covering CPR, the instructor will reiterate "keep doing CPR until the ambulance arrives and trained medics take over".

@drmaddkap With all due respect, I say this as someone who spent twenty minutes dead and is only alive due to CPR and a defibrillator?
Bullshit.

@digitalraven @drmaddkap You were insanely lucky! The survival rate for CPR/defib is not great: around 7-8% of patients on whom rescus is attempted survive to see hospital discharge.
It's still worth doing, but most media portrayals are very misleading.

@cstross @drmaddkap I'm aware of how lucky I am, but 7-8% is way better than 0% and I'd rather people try than assume it won't ever work.

@drmaddkap Does sticking nails through one’s hand stave off death like in Bladerunner?

@Fabio Platone era un idiota che invidiava chi amava o era amato, entrambe cose evidentemente a lui negate.

@TomF I was surprised by how astute this take is. I watch him for music stuff, his interviews with some of my favorite jazz musicians, e.g. Pat Metheny, who Beato obviously loves, are among the best that have ever been done. But, he understands a fundamental aspect of big expensive computers that a lot of people are somehow still missing about AI. There is an assumption that we'll need big data centers forever...or at least for the next decade or two so they can pay for themselves.

Ingredienti per ottenere un predatore sessuale di minorenni:
Prendere un giovane trentenne
Aggiungere qualche centinaio di milioni di dollari statunitensi degli anni 80
Lasciare riposare per qualche decina di anni, rabboccando regolarmente la quantità di milioni man mano che quelli precedenti evaporano.
Condire a piacere con abbondanti applausi, asservimento e leccate di culo a mezzo stampa e in TV, come i cortigiani che applaudivano l’imperatore nudo.

Amore platonico (?)
Amore platonico è un modo usuale di definire una forma di amore priva della dimensione passionale (romantica) e sessuale. Infatti Platone considera l'attrazione fra i corpi il primo dei vari livelli di amore, benché egli aggiunga che questo livello vada abbandonato per giungere a quelli superiori (amore per l'anima, per le leggi e le istituzioni, per le scienze, assoluto)...

Ritorna «El loco» del maestro Alberto Manzi | il manifesto
https://ilmanifesto.it/ritorna-el-loco-del-maestro-alberto-manzi
> (Cultura) Un sassolino lanciato in un barattolo lascerebbe presagire un tempo sempre uguale a sé stesso, una monotonia da esorcizzare. Invece quel tempo lento, rarefatto, immagine classica di piccole località dell’America Latina, contrasta inesorabilmente con un movimento di tensione tra rivoluzione e oppressione che Alberto Manzi fa emergere ne El Loco (pp. 224, euro 18), suo
