Make a good “backup” just in case.

Ah, the ol “reboot” solution

Is that like, stop his heart and then restart it?

I think he is destined for Boot Hill.

I know quite a few people that need that procedure.

“Couldn’t we try wiggling something first?”

“Are you sure he’s plugged in?” [The IT Crowd]

If only it was that simple

“To start, look at this picture of Mich McConnell in a garterbelt and stockings, (after a 10 second count) and here is a picture of Stefania Ferrario in flimsy peignoir. Did that work?”

I’ve seen that done in science fiction movies and TV shows. It seems like a great idea. Of course, in real life, resuscitation, even in a hospital, has less than 20% chance of success.

Yep, in a hospital only 20%. Not the 99% we see in fiction.

Possible responses from the patient:

“You were in tech support before you went into medicine, right?”

“Unless you can actually show me my on/off switch, fuhgeddaboudit!”

“I really think I’d like a second opinion. And then maybe a third . . . and a fourth . . . and a fifth . . . "

just another cardioversion
