Defibrillation Event

Our cardiologist spoke in church recently.  He talked about defibrillation.  He explained the series of electric impulses that make your heart function and their interdependencies (one pulse triggers another) which can lead to serious problems if one of the pulses is off.  The heart will get stuck in a destructive pattern.  Defibrillation is a massive shock that blows away the existing pattern, allowing the heart to start a new, healthy one.

He was in a serious motorcycle wreck last year.  In a coma for a month.  Bedridden for another two.

He said  that was his defibrillation event.
