One of These Things is NOT Like the Others...

Today I took Part 1 of a two-day workshop for CPR/AED certification. One of the nurses leading the training mentioned that when applying the pads of the AED on someone, we might encounter a pacemaker in the way. There were no visuals to provide us regarding this seemingly small detail, but we were instructed that it would be easily seen (being embedded just under the skin) and that we should avoid making contact with the AED pad to that area of the victim's chest.

So me...and my morbid curiosity...wanted to see what that might look like. After all, someone with a pacemaker does seem more likely to require CPR, no?

Well, now I know what I'd be seeing in the case of a victim with a pacemaker. But that doesn't explain the girl with the plate of spaghetti...

Turns out it is rice with curry. And the picture goes to a
