FRAK. ME.

I have two pivotal scenes with defibrillators in this thing.

And at least one of them is dead wrong. (Pun certainly intended. But this is me and you knew that.)

You don't defib a flatline. It doesn't work. Therefore, shocking a vampire sans heartbeat would be singularly ineffective.

HOWEVER.

I may have just figured out what to do here. Maybe. Either way, it's fixable (I just have to do the adrenaline shot into the heart first rather than afterwards), but it's damned inconvenient. *shakes fist at TV* CURSE YOU, BADLY-WRITTEN MEDICAL SHOWS.

Ooooooh so I actually got it right. Wow. :D

Yup, you don't shock a flatline. It's apparently useless to do so. So, I've fixed my thing, but darned if I wanted to, because it was already pretty dramatic. Ah well. I managed to up the drama a teensy bit, so go, me.
