The top five medical errors in comic books
Resident comic book expert/MD Scott takes an annotated look. For instance:
3. You Cannot Shock A Flatline When the heart goes into asystole (a term for when it stops beating and has no electrical activity), the treatment is NOT defibrillation. To restart a non-beating heart, the recommended treatments are CPR, epinephrine, atropine, and transcutaneous pacing. Defibrillation does more harm than good.
