While we were visiting Sam’s relative in the hospital a technician ran a routine test on her heart. With some electrical leads attached to what was essentially a large laptop, he uttered the most extraordinary thing I’ve ever heard:
This may feel strange. I’m going to increase your heart rate just for a second.
We apparently live in a world where that is a routine thing to say.
My heart rate goes up when I see the dazzling beauty of Michelle Obama. I seems like my heart beats faster. Maybe the rest of the world just slows down. (Michelle, if you’re reading this: He’s not good enough for you!)
