And now I would like to hear what you say about the Alabama election.

I don't think the recording schedule has changed, just the release. But yes, i would be curious to hear them talk about Alabama.

Apia, is this being talked about in Germany? Is it more than a blip on the radar? If so, whats the tone of the coverage over there?

They're not erring on the side of caution when they rescuscisus someone with a tattoo or whatever. They're often subjecting that person to broken ribs and the risk of brain damage or worse. I wouldn't blame a doctor or paramedic for doing CPR if all they had to go on was a tattoo but I would expect them to immediately find out if I had a DNR on record, and go to whatever extra lengths they could to do so.

Why Doctors Die Differently

A study ... of how CPR is portrayed on TV found that it was successful in 75% of the cases and that 67% of the TV patients went home. In reality, a 2010 study of more than 95,000 cases of CPR found that only 8% of patients survived for more than one month. Of these, only about 3% could lead a mostly normal life.

Mostly normal meaning little or no brain damage. This is the second study mentioned.

First of all, do we honor the tattoo if they misspell it like you did?

You're both still being pretty ridiculous about the tattoo thing.

"Just type his name in a computer!" There's no central national database containing this information.

"If the doctor sees a Poison tattoo, I guess he has to poison the guy!" Don't be ridiculous. It's not the doctor's job to actively administer a fatal injection. It is a doctor's job to determine to the best of their ability in a short period of time what an unconscious and unresponsive person's wishes were in this specific circumstance. Separate things: active vs. passive.

"My signature is on Elvis; I guess I own him!" Literally nobody's arguing that every single tattoo becomes a legal document. In this case, however, the tattoo has one purpose: to let the doctors know his wishes before they even attempt to revive him.

"There's paperwork for this!" By this reasoning, if a person has a bracelet stating "I am allergic to penicillin" but doesn't have certain paperwork with them at all times--fuck it, you're getting a penicillin injection.

I appreciate your passion, Todd, but you HAPPEN to also be a goofball.
