If you’re at risk for cardiac arrest and you have a hairy chest… you might want to shave that bad boy. It seems that excessive hair is enough of a problem with defib that it actually warrants a section in the manual on how to get rid of it. And the first try ISN’T shaving. Let’s put it this way: The little pads they use are sticky. Like, say, a waxing strip. Unless you want to be like Steve Carell… well, it might just hurt. God, I love first aid.
On the upside, if you need to be defibbed, having your chest hairs yanked out might not be the most important thing on your mind.
I picked up my textbooks today. Can you tell? Expect to be regaled with tales of extruded eyeballs and all sorts of gory things for the next few days.
You sure have a strange definition of “upside”! LOL!
