Hi @williambanks , thanks for the discussion in the comments on Sunday on my article. I see the discussion is still going here and there :). I will go to @stan's post to help and support now :)
If you have not seen this, I think you will enjoy... Carte Blanch is a South African investigative reporting television program. They normally have some boring stuff, mostly focusing on how the government is screwing us over... However sometimes they cover very interesting subjects... which I assume you will enjoy if I got the gist of your message ...

PS : Love the idea and concept about @nameinlights, would love to assist where I can
Ok so I watched the video.
What they are describing is also known as TTM or Targeted Temperature Management.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_temperature_management
It works extremely well for the short term. The real trick here is to make sure that freezing people doesn't result in severe cell damage, because ice crystals are sharp and will rupture cell walls.
Assuming that can be overcome, i.e. you get cold but not frozen, what happens is the cold reduces the need for the body to process oxygen.
Because everything about chemistry is slowed down by the cold and you are made of chemistry.
Some animals do this naturally and even replace their blood with antifreeze naturally in order to survive the winter.

Excellent find! And yes it's a common tactic now in major blood loss, trauma situations, to reduce the patient's body temperature in order to slow down the damage from oxygen deprivation.
Thanks for this!
#nameinlights Just find a follower who has less followers than you and introduce them to your other followers.
Also, yeah @stan and I will argue about this until the cows come home. I have a suspicion we're both wrong. I'm going to post a story on Sunday.
Short term though, this one could really use more attention...

If you could help spread the word, I'd be much obliged.
#nameinlights brilliant idea. I will execute on this from tomorrow actually :) This will really help the platform. Are you looking at featuring the follower as in he writes an article and you publish it on your account Like "Article ABC (Featuring Follower 123)" I will do this daily in future :) It makes a lot of sense. By the way ... did you create the image for #nameinlights ? if so, would you mind if I use it in my featuring followers article? I will obviously credit and refer to your article...
Secondly, from @stan perspective. I loved his post, but get your points as well.. Only one thing to say:
We will only know when we die...
Already voted for rise-up and will send introduce and circulate to my network.
Finally did you have a chance to watch the video and what do you think?
I am not a specialist in the medical field, but very logical person...and I think this can be massive for saving patients in future.
Well @jacor I think the "read my blog featuring..." has been done to death.
When I envision #nameinlights what I really think of is similar to what I've been doing here....
Something like
In otherwords, just make it totally about them.
As for the image, I lifted it from pixabay so feel free to use it.
I didn't have a chance to watch the video. I'm traveling and tethered to my cellphone. But I will check it out tonight when I get somewhere with proper internet.
As for the debate with @stan yeah that's the sort of thing we'll be discussing until the end of time I'm sure. No way to know until we get there. But I'll do a blog post on Sunday that I think more clearly shows my POV on that subject.
Thanks for upvoting and sharing the riseup thing with your followers, they really need our help or they will be forced to cease operations at month's end.
Agreed on the approach on the #nameinlights. Will start tomorrow as it will certainly have an impact in the long run at identifying good and diverse content based on recommendation.
Eagerly awaiting your Sunday post... I also have another one in mind for Sunday.
My article about the video will be going on in the next 30 minutes or so. I am actually referring to you a lot in the article, as this article was inspired by our conversation on Sunday and in my mind directly linked to the conversation. At the same time I am asking my followers to consider following you :)
Wrong about what ?
(NAP Litigator *Fee .0001 SBD) lol ...
@jacor started it with "I enjoy debates". Then @stan made a blog topic about giving god the finger so I invited him in as well. It was fun.
