Hi, most people write something about you, but I want you to do something to me) I'm completely defenseless, and my heart is open to you. What will you do, make my heart beat faster or stop it forever? (Or both)
Yes! If it were me, right after opening your chest and spreading it wide open, I’ll first explore your heart when its still protected by the pericardium. After that, I’ll make an incision, slicing open the pericardium and letting the fluid spill out, exposing the bright red of your myocardium.
I’ll then take your heart into my hand, cupping it and feeling it beat against my palm, watching it flutter as your heart adjusts to being touched for the first time.
I’ll start squeezing your heart. A light pressure and then increasing the pressure in increments, watching your heart balloon with each hard squeeze.
After that, I’ll tie a portable heart rate monitor around your heart, the band not too tight before then wrapping a bag around your heart, making sure where the vessels are are sealed and no leakages before then filling the bag with ice cold water.
I’ll watch as your heart desperately fights back against the cold, struggling to beat until it finally ceases completely.
And when it does, I’ll work to resuscitate it, warming your poor heart and squeezing it until it fibrillates. That then I’ll shock it until it beats again.
