Having just made it through Prison Break season one, I need an argument settled please. Someone died of a 'massive cardiac arrest'. Cardiac arrest means that someones heart has stopped - right? How can one persons heart stop more massively than another? Googling it to try and win the argument proved fruitless - it seems that people are dropping dead left, right and centre of 'massive cardiac arrests'. Come on - back me up here.

Oh boy, if that’s your biggest problem with Prison Break, just wait to the later seasons…

Had to give up on it, when it went all X-Files. Now I LOVE TXF but Prison Break completely jumped the shark long before the end. Utter garbage :lol:

First few seasons were decent though.

The first season was excellent, but when the obvious conclusion happened at the end, every season after that was awful.

I really enjoyed the start of season 2 as well as the continuation of the first. But it got more and more silly and then when the guard was hailed some kind of unsung hero at the point of his death was absolutely ridiculous and I never moved past it. It was just daft.

Yes. This precisely. I also enjoyed the start of Season 2, and then got turned off by the guard turning into a good guy out of the blue.

They only ever happen in Sheffield.

In terms of the varying degrees of a cardiac arrest, presumably massive refers to be totally non-survivable? There are plenty of cardiac arrests which are survivable, with the right conditions. I presume that there is/are some variations which are absolutely fatal in all cases? Like Raphael Dwamena's unfortunate end, compared to Tom Lockyer for example.

I’m one of the limited number of people who have survived a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), but I’m by no means an expert on the subject. I don’t remember anything about the event itself or the following week; I was in an induced coma.

However, what I do know is that there are a variety of causes and types of cardiac arrest; with varying degrees of trauma attached to each of them. Taking me as an example, I suffered a number of seizures and a pulmonary embolism associated with the SCA. I received repeated CPR at home, over the course of a couple of hours and I’m massively indebted to my partner and the 3 ambulance crews (and air ambulance crew) that fought so hard to save my life!

As a result, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to describe a cardiac arrest as ‘massive’, if you’re taking into account the lead up and associated complications.
