Its the thing in the TV shows that goes " beep, beep" and when someone dies it holds it out "beeeeeeep"

Oxygen tent: A tent-like device used to deliver high levels of oxygen to a patient in a bed. The tent typically covers the whole bed of an infant and the head and upper body of an older child or adult. The oxygen is pumped in from a tank.

try:

cardiac neurosis: disturbance of the heart not attributable to any known neurological or organic dysfunction

Infarction: The formation of an infarct, an area of tissue death due to a local lack of oxygen.

it makes no sense cry

Its the act of causing tissue death due to lack of oxygen.

An infarct is the tissue death and infarction is it happening.

and isn't it a heart attact or sumthin?

try dictionary.com

those definitions are not detailed enough

use them as base then

uh huh

Look online for them or the dictionary!JM

99.9% of the time... But I met a guy who had an aneurism that popped and survived it... He was in a wheelchair after knee surgery or something, and he strained going up a ramp. Within a second he was on the ground, literally vomiting because of the pain.

And maybe I'm wrong, but don't they only form in your head? That's why it's fatal if they pop, because the oxygen in your blood burns your brain tissue...

yea...

this site always helps

if you go here and type in dictionary - and type in your word - it will give exact meaning and so on...
