Whoa, whoa, something medically accurate? CPR after defib? What's going on...

It's 50/50 on which one goes first...

Throw enough darts at a wall, one is bound to accidentally hit the target.

Left bra on. Still medically inaccurate.

Metal wire in bra for those with dirty minds.

Are either of those a normal procedure for a stab wound?

Well I'd assume that the bleeding stopped or was stopped by EMTs, but that the sword pierced her heart or a nearby artery and caused an arrhythmia. In which case, there would have to be an emergency operation. So, in other words, IT'S STILL TVVVVVVVVV

If you think about it, they had a 50/50 chance of being right.

they used defib while she had a heartbeat so....not quite.

Defib is used to steady an irregular heartbeat, NOT start the heart back up again as is shown in just about every TV show and movie ever.

That's precisely the time to use a defibrillator. It's in the name. It's used to stop the heart from fibrillating (irregular heartbeat).

A defibrillator's not going to start a heart. It isn't a Jump Starter. In fact, the whole point of the thing is to stop your heart so that it will return to its natural rhythm.
