I can't tell you the number of times I've seen someone in a medical drama use a defibrillator to restart the heart of a flatlined patient. This does not work.

@degroof I have a writer-friend who's a doctor and it's HILARIOUS to watch media with him.

@samanthabwriter @degroof oh goodness don't get me started on the flatline idiocy ðĪŠ
We ACHIEVE a flat line by defi. And then we hope the heart picks up its rhythm again.
I can add to that the dramatic birth. (Especially when then a several months old perfectly clean baby is shown.)
