I don’t like this, I’d prefer if they provided a source or explanation. “A phone call takes up to an hour to trace”? Really? How do we even trace phone calls? Why doesn’t a defibrillator work? It’s not movies that taught us that! School taught me that shit!
In movies (and mostly cartoons), it’s often used as a solution to any ‘death’, so it’s more just misleading
For the heart to pump blood, the muscles need to contract in a specific pattern. This is coordinated by a part of the heart using a form of electricity.
When these contractions get out of sync and blood stops being pumped (ex. certain types of heart attacks), we can use a defibrillator/AED to get everything in sync again.
If that is not the cause of the cause of the problem, the defibrillator wont’ work.
