Brutal comeback

Okay this would be surreal as fuck after the surgery, feeling for your own pulse and getting nothing in return. That’s straight up sci-fi.

Now add the whirring and you’re just a proper cyborg at the point. What a time to be alive.

Funfact, VADs often still have a small pulsatile change, e.g. 2 seconds at 5000rpm, 2 seconds at 5400, so there is a difference it's just not palpable. The body seems to adjust better to this slight variatons instead of a continuous flow.

Why does everyone always have to show up in the comments and pop my bubble /s

Is this a Nyquist Theorem reference?

You can't wake up dead fool.

I've heard of this happening with electricians. They'll touch something energized, check their pulse, then sit down and ask somebody close by "can you call 911 and start doing cpr on me?" Before passing out.
