Once the catheter identifies which part of the heart the dangerous rhythms are coming from, the ethanol dose can be delivered.

This kills the area of the heart muscle causing the problem allowing the heart's rhythm to return to normal.

Well, naturally.

Pretty sure it's no longer considered 'neat' when you go mixing it with blood...

Is it safe to say nobody loves him?

fusillade762: Is it safe to say nobody loves him?

It's true. Not like you do.

He's lucky he lives in the United Kingdom. In this country Obama's death panels would have let him die.

Is it really neat that he had something done that's been happening for decades?

Hey, guys. I heard there's this NIFTY new procedure where they shove a camera up your ass, and they can actually SEE Cancer, too.

Pretty sure this isn't the first time this procedure has appeared on Fark.

I think it's neat dude is still alive. Despite all my "RAWR! Black metal rules!" and other assorted shenanigans, I really am a very tender hearted person inside.

/shhh. don't tell!

I do the same thing everyday, only in moderation.

ArminiusTheGreat: Pretty sure this isn't the first time this procedure has appeared on Fark.

I'm pretty sure they used in one of the last couple of seasons of House.

But it's still considered 'neat' when you go mixing it with saliva and stomach acids?

In his defense, I read you as a complete ass as well. In furtherance of his defense, nothing changed when reading your sarcasm claim.

Seeing it is old hat. Tasting ass cancer now, that's where I come in.

Merry Christmas to you too. I thought my politics were well enough known around here that people would recognize the sarcasm but I guess not.

Krispy, you're a brave soul. I'm not man enough to go ass to mouth.

Medical Grade Ethanol, subby. Not like they injected him full of Everclear.

Heh, this is amusing, but I wonder how his immune system is going to handled dead tissue in the heart... As for the people above me talking about it being "neat," neat simply means that the ethanol wasn't diluted in anything before being injected into the blood stream. I use this term frequently with SE-HPLC work when I'm feeling too lazy to dilute my samples to the proper concentration and just use a formula I made in Excel to inject the sample "neat" but at the would have the same concentration as if I had diluted the samples to the proper concentration for the experiment.

Yeah, pretty much. Three strikes, son. Yer out!

My granny had one entire chamber of her heart dead for several years after she had a big one. Absolutely nothing happens. It just lays there. It doesn't decompose, it just stops beating.

This story warms my heart. Like a shot of Wild Turkey to the left ventricle.

Typical fartbongo communist follower reply. Maybe you can take your head out of the kool-aid feed bag that the Dumbocrats have hung around your neck, and look to Jesus for the answers, rather than trying to give lazy Americans who live off the government tit "healthcare" so they can get their free baby murderings (Oh, you people call those abortions, because baby murder is too gauche, isn't it?) and they can get their illegal anchor babies to give them asylum while they steal jobs from Real 'Muricans. Just because you want to give up your guns to the goverment, and let him murder your grandpa doesn't mean anyone else does, you traitor.

God is coming soon, and there will be a reckoning for you socialists. We came unarmed this time.

Interesting, I didn't know that.

Tried way too hard on that one.

This isn't the only time I've heard of alcohol used as medical treatment.

It's the standard treatment for methanol poisoning.

A Festivus Miracle!

Booze mending a broken heart. I'll drink to that!

I understand it's actually a pretty common trait. I kind of do that too.

I've had to make it painfully obvious I'm being satirical lately. If not, I get accused of being a secret GOP plant on FARK.

"Neat" is how you order your whisky at a high-class bar, you farking uncultured slobs. It means "straight". Jesus christ.

CruiserTwelve: I thought my politics were well enough known around here

Yes, we all know you're a fascist.
