I hereby Pit my BIG Myogenic Muscle, AKA the HEART! What more evidence do you need than this self admission of guilt:
Heart failure is a common, costly, disabling, and potentially deadly condition. […] Mostly as a result of the costs of hospitalization, it is associated with a high health expenditure; costs have been estimated to amount to 2% of the total budget of the National Health Service in the United Kingdom, and more than $35 billion in the United States. Heart failure is associated with significantly reduced physical and mental health, resulting in a markedly decreased quality of life. With the exception of heart failure caused by reversible conditions, the condition usually worsens with time. Although some people survive many years, progressive disease is associated with an overall annual mortality rate of 10%.
So there you have it. The heart is SO big it threatens basic health by virtue of being poised for imminent shutdown.
It’s too big to fail!
Please add your own cliche’s or observations WRT this vestige of truth I assert.
Planet earth. The clear conclusion that should be drawn from global warming is that the earth has become too big to fail. It clearly should be broken up. I recommend the “Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator”.
From the linked page: “BWH rule indicates that patients with systolic blood pressure over 90 mm Hg, respiratory rate of 30 or less breaths per minute, serum sodium over 135 mmol/L, no new ST-T wave changes have less than 10% chance of inpatient death or complications.”
LESS THAN 10%!!!
How is that poised for immenianent shutdown? :rolleyes:
