Tased & Confused

In this article at Science News a man’s irregular heartbeat was forced back to normal after being tased. This is an aberration with the taser acting like a cardiac defibrillator.

The establishment’s spinners like this kind of stuff because they can say, “see it saved that man’s life.” Everyone needs to be reminded that this is a fluke. It’s very much the exception. Don’t count on cowboy CPR saving many people’s lives. You can expect about as much success with that as stopping diarrhea with magnesium citrate.
