Do They Kill You?

The rationale is this: in order to keep from troubling
themselves to actually closely monitor your heart and your
breathing, they end-run around all that "nuisance" and pre-
empt matters by KILLING you, at the outset. Then they
switch you to heart/lung machine which does the dirty work
for them --keeping you alive...on THEIR schedule.

Yes.. It's too bad they haven't figured out how to install a
heart-lung machine to keep you happily dead permanently.

A stupid question or two.

I have heard that, anymore when a person undergoes major
surgery and where they use a General Anaesthetic, that
they "kill you" prior to surgery. That is, that they
purposely STOP your heart and your breathing, and they put
you on a heart/lung machine. Is this true?

Again, I have heard numerous folks tell me this. Is this
actually what hospital procedure is, nowadays?

Depends on the surgical procedure. The answer is "yes" for
many open-heart surgeries.
