Diagnosis Murder - S7EP16 Murder by Remote - Part 3

How does that girl have a boyfriend???

[resirch22]

I love the guys especially Dick and Barry. It would be impossible to not like the cast for DM. I have just one observation for Barry. How does he like his initials: BVD? Or.... does he have a middle name besides Van?

I thought you could shock flat lines, because it gave the heart or something a jolt and then it beats again

Or am I being an idiot?

[kazooga1234]

u rnt u r right

[SW33TI316]

@diagnosisgurl

Actually, it's a very common misconception. It's something that most TV shows get completely wrong. Shocking a flatline won't do anything.

You see, a defibrillator does exactly what it says on the tin. It 'de-fibrillates'. When the heart is 'fibrillating', it's beating irregularly, or 'fluttering'. The 'shock' you described is used to bring about a more regular rhythm.

You administer epinephrine if a person flatlines, it's the only thing that might work.

Someone needs to tell Jesse you can't shock a flatline! No wonder Bruce died!!!

[wadyano]

oh my goodness. bruce preprogrammed his computers to kill then committed suicide.

[SPARKZ181090]

bruce didnt commit suicide . . . . . . . . . hiz computer hal, killed him in the house.

[wadyano]

did the guy try to kill himself with smoke?

[fantasyfollower2]

it was a deversion to get the police of his tail. His housekeeper who's always at the house and seven sharp was suposed to save him. But that day of all days she was late. Ah poetic irony.

[KalnokyisGOD]

[thef1fan]

[SkasasParadigm]

[florapikachu]

I loved the last scene where Mark and Steve were looking around at the store. Poor Mark must have felt really ackward and frustrated (after all Steve and Jesse have such a bad taste in women).

[kazooga1234]

well thats caz they kinda have the same taste in women thats y they ended up dating the same women once

[aishwariya101]

that doesn't even have anything to do with the video!
