You know Defribrilators are completely crap right?

 

Not only do they rarely save the patient, but they can also cause damage.

But they're a necessary prop on House.

 

"WE NEED TO DEFIBRILATE, STAT! CLEAR! *KACHUNK* HE'S NOT RESPONDING *KACHUNK* FULL POWER. NO, THAT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE. I DIDN'T GET WHERE I AM BY NOT TAKING RISKS! *KACHUNK KACHUNK*"

One medic rushes into battle with a sword and the other performs surgery while unconscious. We've passed the point of being logical, accurate, safe, or any of those other words that help us sleep at night.

If there was a line, we not only crossed it but tapdanced on it.

Icu, they're better than nothing, and used together with stimulants they might actually work on a regular basis. Regardless, the nanites can take care of the damage they cause.

I CAN DEFIBRILLATE TOO!

 

And I'm a diplomat! :D

If there was a line, we not only crossed it but tapdanced on it.

Your a doctor, not the possible police. :thumbsup:

 

 

 

Besides which:

In the future there will be Parasomnia Rem Sleep Behaviour Disorders, for all!

I can be glad I don't have parasomnia, I sleep about 1.6 meter above the floor with next to nothing keeping me from rolling out and if I did, I would grace the corner of my glass desk and land with my head on a wooden crate. Put simply, to me falling out of bed would be pretty much fatal, killing me by breaking my neck one place and maybe my back in another, giving me a concussion and create a deep cut in my back.

You would think...But I have back rolled out my bed, which was about a meter and a half in the air, smacked into a giant television(one of those old ones you see in movies from the 80-90s), that was fine, then the Video Recorder, which slid off the mounting, the cord swung, pulling the TV down on top of me(I was already on the floor looking up when the video recorder hit tension and pulled the TV down). TV landed itself with the corner in my pelvis (me as a child got hit in pelvis alot in retrospect...stage, horse, TV...), and caught the other corner with my temple(I forget which one)...

 

So, while certainly dangerous, it is not inherantly life threatening.

Icu, they're better than nothing, and used together with stimulants they might actually work on a regular basis. Regardless, the nanites can take care of the damage they cause.

 

Hope you use the nanites AFTER the defribrilator (when it would be too late to save them) because a shock like that would fry all the nanties I believe.

@ Archi and Chi: Did I ever tell you about the time my sister fell off the top bunk to our bunk bed set? No? Well, back when the top bunk was my bunk, she'd climb up the ladder and sit on the railing that kept me from falling out (I have this insane habit of rolling over in my sleep). So one night, she fell and hit the floor. And the top bunk is 4-6 feet off the floor. She got scolded by my parents when they came to investigate the noise.

 

Someone please remind me to work on a needle launcher.

I wouldn't call falling out of bed life threatning if not for that the cut to my back would likely bleed a lot and that my head would land half a meter before my body, I've already got a messed up neck, poping several times just as I tilt my head.

Anything good happen after I left?

 

[hide= This is what was said after I read the one page intro to Portal 2]GLaDOS was/is EVIL?!?!?!?!?!?!

The cake is a lie?! I knew it! No more cake for me![/hide]

Couldn't make is (sadface)

All you really missed, Nero, was the Damn Dame of Bossyness, me horribly maimed almost to death by some wild beast (Mask thankyou for being online at that time), Albert's exicution for killing a female soldier (I think he is Perma-dead), and the a couple of Arbiters demand for me to be checked if I was female or not (DNA results: I am a female).

Edited May 12, 201115 yr by Lone_Shadow_Lynx

Lynx, I could, but I don't think a shock would be so wise, I'd make that a transporter beacon if I were you.

Mather, it's basically a personal touture/entertainment divice (depends on the voltage and who's incontrol of the remote).

 

Nex, I didn't know that. I'm sorry. Wont happen again. *tries to find good delete music* I fixed it.

Lynx, still, if you get on the pirate ship before anyone notices, then it would just make the situation worse.

And if you want pain, thermal is the way to go, that way we only risk burning your skin as opposed to your flesh.

 

Oh, and torture/entertainment, what are you? A masochist?

Yah Lynx, this has bad idea written all over it, and I cannot condone self-injury.

 

We'll just bail you out if you get into trouble, and set you to bailing if you get us into trouble.

Self entertainment device huh... So what's why you keep activating it randomly.

 

 

Kind of pales what Albert was doing I think.

I'm not a machosist. It's touture for me, entertainment for who ever is in control of the remote.

 

AND Chi, I believe skin and flesh is the same thing!

 

I think currently I should stay in my room untill I'm told to go somewhere. I've been making a crap load of mistakes latey. Except for going outside and sitting on a hill. And the wild beast attack wasn't my fault, I was just there at the wrong time.

 

So Far I have done the following:

(Not yet) Punching a random red button that does something: Bad

(Not yet) Punching electric cables: Bad, most likely result: death

Shocking myself out of boredom: Bad

Nail Polish: Bad (I hate nail polish anyway, doesn't look good with a pale person)

Go running at pirates with no plan what so ever: Bad

Bringing weapons on a diplomatic mission: (Almost did but was told no, but still) Bad

Pissing of a Psion (or Peri): Very Bad

Beating up a soldier (I didn't do that but I know someone who did and I learned the following lesson): EXTREAMLY BAD, RESULTS IN DEATH!

 

I really do wish the Pegasus had a training bay, then I'd stay out of trouble.

And what does Blasphemy mean? I'm in too much pain (skating accident) to bother with the dictionary.

It means sacrilege. Aren't I so helpful? :P

 

Skin as in the very outer layer that is actually epidermis, Lynx, as opposed to the epidermis AND the muscle/veins/whatever else directly underneath. Mather is actually right, for once, thermal is the easiest way to cause pain without actually damaging, hence why some exploration has been made into thermal antipersonel weapons for police forces and the military. You still shouldn't do it, though.

 

We do, essentially, have a training bay unless I'm incorrect. Just ask SI for a simulation. If we need one, I might fund it.

Nex the Pegasus does not have a training bay, I found that out during the session where I ended up in a pillow fight. AND desine sacrilige describe Define sacrilege.

Can you two please Stop spamming the thread, its getting annoying, Either take this to the Back room or PM, it doesn't need to be in the Topic for Space.

 

On topic: For those of you who missed it I was appointed as the colonial Governer.
