Hypothermia really seems to have rallied as a great immediate intervention in a few medical emergencies. I hope it becomes a first responder action, might save many a brain,heart or spinal cord!

I am actually doing my school project on induced hypothermia in patients who code or have an MI. It's really interesting stuff, and it seems to work with no apparent side effects.

I'd like to see a fact check to make sure this story wasn't just a plant by the religious right. A sort of so what if the test says she's brain dead. A miracle could happen and she could wake up tomorrow. Terry Schiavo with a twist.

I see references all the time to an article about presidential IQ's. Estimated Jimmy Carter's IQ as 176 and Ronald Reagan as 105. The story was totally fake. We tend to believe what we read in the paper. I've become very skeptical in my old age--might possibly have something to do with the outcome of the 2000 presidential election.

I'm skeptical as well and agree with you 100%

I found it really interesting that she said he did the right thing by withdrawing life support.
