I don't believe it is fair to compare CPR chest compressions with high-velocity missile impacts. A bullet might not reach the same pressures as the compressions, but any pressure spikes are achieved in much less time. Elapsed time relative to total pressure is the key, I would think.
Note: as I said earlier, I'm just a psych student, but my area of interest lies in the brain itself and the more physiological aspects of psychology. I have the good fortune of having some of the greatest minds in many areas of the medical field at my university. My physiological psych professor and his colleagues are not aware of this phenomena (pressure waves in the extremities or thoracic cavity from high-speed, small-mass impacts resulting in damage to parts of the brain). On this I'll refer to my previous comments here (the topic as a whole is a good one to read on the subject). Once midterms are over I'll have to pass along the article Pastuer is referencing to the med and psych professors on campus and see what they think.

Well, I think this is BS that is being peddled, BUT! I do know that the pressure/pulsatile nature of the circulatory system has an effect on the brain.
We studied in class the other day about the "roller" style pumps (supplying a constant flow of circulation) used during CABG's when the heart was completely bypassed for the operation. Every now and then, people would wake up "not right". They were just a little "off" somehow and never recovered (the phenomina was termed "pump head", among health-care workers in private). Now that the pumps are pulsatile, mimicking the body's normal delivery of blood, this phenomina is much less common.
That is the only correlation I have seen thus far between what I know, and what is being peddled here, and I am not worried about the BG's personality shifting ever so slightly. I want him STOPPED.

...a note aside...
...in the book "Forensic Pathology of Trauma" by MJ Shkrum, MD and DA Ramsay, MB at page 319 you can see the pics of a man who shot himself two times in a suicide attempt....the first bullet hit him in the head but the bullet did not enter in his cranium vault so he shot himself a second time in the chest: that was the bullet that killed him...
...at page 344 of the same book you can see the dissected brain of the same deceased....and a large hemorrage(..in a zone more or less like triangular in shape about 1 1/2" deep with a base about 1" long..) in his brain because the former non fatal tangential wound....
..so I asked myself...even if there are microscopic capillaries rupture in the white matter because some blood vessels pressurization in the chest due to the bullet travel...what's their importance and reliability to stop a violent action in a short time when such a large hemorrage, certainly not microscopic, did not stop this man to kill himself pressing another time his pistol's trigger?
All the best
Andrea

Courtney's stuff is like a bad religion... all he has to do is make you doubt just a little bit as to whether or not his stuff might be true... that's enough to mess you up...
I read his papers he refers to, it took a lot of time and effort. In fact, he was kind enough to email me some of them, including some digital pictures of deer he supposedly shot...
When all is said and done, we are wasting our time still discussing it...  |
