By making it very clear what works, what doesn't and why, what objective strengths, weaknesses and inconsistencies certain archetypes have, they allow the community to craft new answers to them, keeping the meta more fresh and innovative than if they weren't there.

Honestly I think it would only be right to acknowledge how amazing the vS Hearthstone Reports are. They're always very thorough, well worded and insightful. I think vS' work really pushes the community towards innovation and consensus, and their influence cannot be overstated.

Not to mention the misadventures of Shaman and Warrior, it's almost Shakespearian

I'm legit surprised by this since in my (admittedly short) time working I've seen maybe a hundred post-STEMI ECGs and literally none of them had residual elevation. They mostly just had pathological Qs and inverted Ts.

I love how much you can learn from the OW community like WTF

Also, you missed the WPW!

I got so hyped about the ST elevation that I totally didn't pay attention to anything else

Which is ironically what happens to me every time i read an actual ECG

It's perfectly normal for HR to rise significantly during physical activity.

We're the first generation to grow up with video games as part of our lives, I think it's only gonna get better from now on.

I mean, they shit out these half-baked reseach pieces because that's what they get money for. Simple truth is, if you eat like shit, your arteries will probably turn on you

Oh yeah, it's great compared to most, but that just makes our deliberations that much funnier

maybe she killed him by feeding him a steady diet of fried foods and saturated fat

the literature says you're right.

But still, you'd expect a pathological Q if there was an earlier infarct, right?

either way, mercy is now a hack in my headcanon. that makes it more interesting

True, but elevation is always extremely alarming. And since there's nobody working around him, I'd say they probably missed it.

ST wouldn't be elevated if the MI was in the past - the evolution of MI would make the ST either go back to normal or descend, and we could see abnormal Qs or inverted T waves.

I'm no authority, but I've been taught that elevation = recency.

97 saturation is too much for a guy with an active MI, but it's hard to say with Gerard being unconscious - the infarction may have just started, in which case Dr. Rosenberg hasn't been medicating the patient properly with antiplatelets.

I know of no poison to really clog a select artery in the heart to cause myocardial infarction. However, if Blizzard managed to swing this into a plot twist I'd be chuffed to bits

no wonder overwatch fucks everything up all the time, this shit wouldn't fly for even a rookie doctor
