Stupid hollywood phrases...
This one really gets my goat... when someone is sick or dying and they are on the operating table and someone is desperately trying to revive them whether it is by by CPR, paddles, etc. and the person next to them says something like "Stop, he/she is already dead!" I say let the poor sole get as much help as possible! Maybe he/she will come back to life with a little more electricity/air/shouting..whatever!!! I hate when that happens! If I was on the operating table I'd want someone to spend at least 6 hours trying to revive me! What say you?

Hate it!
I agree with you. I mean, why don't we just help that person with all the best that we can? they just gave a 5minute revival strategy and they stop. Stupid. Another phrase I hate is "I'm just concern" when he/she is not with the face. Gahd, hate it.

I won't say ours was a tough school, but we had our own coroner. We used to write essays like: What I'm going to be if I grow up.

Sounds like you know very
Sounds like you know very little about medicine. The poor soul on the operating table is already dead. The melodramatic resident who won't stop CPR is just bruising the corps. Eventually you pass the point where all these emergency measures have any real chance of working. And even if by some miracle they did work, the person would be so badly brain damaged that they'd be better off dead. Sometimes enough is enough.
stupid hollywood phrases
I may not know much about medicine but I know a stupid hollywood phrase when I hear one! And about medicine... enough with the fake symptoms, diseases, drugs and stupid drug ads! I haven't seen a doctor in five years and I'm healthier than most people will ever be!
