dead flippin right matey............
maybe I'm exhibiting paranoid tendencies but so many punters out there who
do not actually see the day in and day out mortality rates seem to think
that life is like an episode of ER...we lose a few but by god most of em
come out of whatever is killing em with a couple of shocks or else a quick
needle decompression of a tension pneumo etc etc etc.......
its all media inspired bollox.... i bet I'm not the only one on this list
who has had relatives stating
"cant you give an electric shock to the heart to restart it"...,,,,mmmm
then how do we explain that what they see on ER and Casualty is not how it
is,,,,,,in reality dead generally equals well and truly dead....
the fookin media in this 1st world has a lot to answer for..........they
generate expectations well beyond scientific reality..........
mmm i'm feeling bitter tonight ,,,,,,,,perhaps the next 4 nights off will
chill me out...........
