Watch this video only if you know what "AV block" means:

I haven't laughed that hard in ages! "Extra P waves are no fun!" Hilarious!

And, while I'm on the subject, if cardiac arrhythmias are interesting to you, you might find this video worth watching:

Ah, that takes me back a few years - when I actually remembered what any of that meant without having to look it up.

[incorpore]

ack! my browswer won't show me these, not even the links.

But, "Extra P waves are no fun!" reminds me of way, way, back, when I was a wee young'un, barely out of high school and working as a telemetry tech on night shift in an ICCU, where we'd always say to each other, "Watch out for those Extra Systoles; they'll sneak up on you and bite you on the butt!" which of course would be followed up with a little grab-ass.

Ah, them were the days, when you could have so much fun at work without worrying about getting fired or sued.

Oh, you have to take a look - especially at the first one! So funny, and you'll actually understand what they're talking about!

er,so it seems my firewall software is on the "Super Paranoid" setting, and I have to turn that down to get youtubed.

so,

bwahahahahahahahahahahah! Yeah, the Justin Timberlake knockoff (OMG I can't believe I just used his name; don't think I've ever done that before) is a crackup, though the cardiac technologist in me kept thinking, "but, Wenckebach is generally benign, almost never needs treatment, and certainly not atropine, that's just going to unnecessarily lower the VF threshhold"

I thought the other one was seriously funny, the way he was using different body parts to represent different parts of the cardiac conduction system, and making funny jerky dances to ACCURATELY! represent different arrhythmias. Especially the more complex conduction patterns. Atrial Fibrillation, Totally Uncontrolled! And Defibrillation, Unsuccessful!

and, OMG!, Left Anterior Hemiblock, so WHICH body part was he using to represent the left ventricular anterior conduction pathway, and what exactly was that body part doing behind the "CENSORED"

Was nice seeing you at DNA. This is my official sober statement that i do, in fact, still want to get together and discuss houses. I'm all angst-ridden now after what you told me about your pre-approval.

[arborvitae]

Was nice seeing you, too! I'd love to talk house - I know your schedule is nuts, but I work a pretty standard m-f, 9-5 work week.

Re: preapproval - I imagine you make a bit more than me, so you can probably get approved for a bit more!

I don't know what any of that means but if I imagine them singing computer geek jargon then it's pretty funny!

Extra pthreads are real fun!
