Reply #42: I don't know much about politics

but I'm and ER physician and I know a lot about defibrillators--and I can tell you that as far as "The photos of The Bulge in the article are identified without reservation as the particular model of defibrillator" t-ain't so, no such beast

However if there was, this is what we would be treated to:
Bush goes into v-fib--the rhythm requiring him to be defibrillated
1) there would be a ten to thirty second pause while the rhythm is registered and analysed by the device--during this time George Bush would collapse to the floor
2) just as by-standers rushed to him they would be treated to the spectacle of George Bush flopping about like a fish while he is defibrillated If a by-stander touches him, he or she too would be defibrillated (a potentially fatal event)

It's probably easier to just have the Doc standing by with a defibrillator in a small traveling case
