Her capacity to love was barely finite, and a session to me. One night on the sofa in my apartment, while studying the reams of wavy lines that make up EKGs, she puzzled over, then correctly identified a fatal arrhythmia. All at once, it dawned on her and she began to cry: wherever this 'practice EKG' had come from, the patient had not survived. The squiggly lines on that page were more than just lines; they were ventricular fibrillation deteriorating to asystole, and they could bring you to tears. What did the squiggly lines on the EKG page represent?
1) Normal heart rhythm
2) Atrial fibrillation
3) Ventricular fibrillation
4) Asystole
