Slightly worrying news about my father, who is going in to hospital to have a procedure that involves stopping his heart, and then starting it again to get it to beat properly.
I know nothing of the medical procedure, but it does sound an awful lot like the sort of thing we do in IT.
Anyway, I hope it all goes well and he feels a lot better after a reboot. Maybe they should install linux at the same time :-)
Get well soon Dad.

ReplyDeleteElective cardioversion for atrial fibrillation I presume? Generally very safe and the heart only "stops" for a few seconds, stunned is a closer term really.
ReplyDeleteJust be grateful he is in the hands of skilled doctors, not BT Openreach!
ReplyDeleteAll joking aside, I wish him well and very much hope all goes to plan.
