Of course! But that's cool, because they totally wake up when you start CPR. On the off chance that they don't, the ambulance will show up and shock them out of asystole...

huh? who knew? i though "camode codes" came from stimulation of the vagal nerve as elder pt. strain to pass a stool.

And yeah..... shock them out of asystole

Don't worry, you'll learn all this when EMS starts requiring college degrees. :p

I wish Dr Oz was my medical director, that would be cool. We could all be on TV helping kill people!

I love this. It's like 'the price is right for medicine' when she comes running down with the lights flashing and everyone waving in the air. Golden.

You reckon I could get CME credits from watching his videos? I've been pushing uni to give me credit for all the scrubs I watch, but this is a whole new thing.

And when people peg out, giant ECG readouts appear in front of you so that you can tell the dispatcher that they are fibrillating.

Does anybody else think he looks like the characature of Bob Hope from Family Guy?

So, if most people go into cardiac arrest in the bathroom, why are most of my arrest patients found in the bedroom? And, if "the paramedics" can usually shock any patient back into a rhythm, why do most of my arrest patients not get any better?
