Right, because it was a CARDIAC ARREST. Meaning her heart stopped. Some people have incorrectly said "heart attack", which is different than cardiac arrest. So what? Her heart stopped because of an electrolyte imbalance, most noticably a potassium level of 2.

Right CARDIAC ARREST and HEART ATTACK are two different things.

So what?

Well, I guess we could say COMA is the same as PVS, and allow people to use them interchangeably, but that would be technically incorrect.

We are trying to sort out the details so I made a point that the term HEART ATTACK was not the correct name for the incident.

I don't think it is fair for either side of the discussion to be allowed to misuse terms, do you?

I would, and have corrected those on both sides. I have been corrected about my mistakes, and I have apologized for them. Would you have it different?
