#1 ECMO? Never heard of it, but WTF, I'm dying. I'll have a double, lose the olives.

#2 After the second major heart attack, they gave me 2 grams of magnesium intravenously. Imagine being on a beach in Saudi Arabia, then turn that up 30 degrees or so. That lasted five minutes with one of the nurses holding a window fan over me for the duration. I'm not exactly sure what the deal with that is but it worked.

In situations like that, you have nothing to lose. Good for Enes there!
