      There would be a market for adenosine in prisons if this held up. Usually stops the heart for ~10 seconds when slammed in the IV. We use it to convert supraventricular tachycardia back to a normal sinus rhythm. But there is a few seconds if terror most the time.

        I believe you, random intermet person, actually work in medicine entirely because you didn’t spell it “superventricular”.

        Thanks for saving lives.

            I always used to wonder who had more acronyms and initialisms: The medical field or the military.

            Then a friend of mine from high school became an Army medic, and the answer is actually: “Holy shit, what is wrong with you people!?”
