Kirk Douglas made 100 today and we are all Spartacus.

His interviews with Greg Popovich were always hilarious.

Henry Heimlich has died.

Henry Judah Heimlich, was an American thoracic surgeon widely credited as the inventor of the Heimlich maneuver,[1] a technique of abdominal thrusts for stopping choking,[2] described in Emergency Medicine in 1974.[3] He also invented the Micro Trach portable oxygen system for ambulatory patients[4] and the Heimlich Chest Drain Valve, or "flutter valve," which drains blood and air out of the chest cavity.[5][spoiler]

Mhmm. All that cocaine when she was younger won't have helped her heart health. Hope she pulls through and according to her brother she's stable, which is a really good sign.

I am really looking forward to seeing how her character will develop in the next two main series Star Wars films, I think it could be a really interesting arc.

My biggest concern is her cognitive functions. The linked story says they were doing CPR for 30 minutes before her heart started working again. That is a LONG time without oxygen getting to the brain. Significant brain damage could have occurred.

Yeah, though there was a doctor and nurses on the flight doing the CPR so I don't think it particularly unlikely that they would do mouth to mouth as well as chest compressions which would help get some oxygen into her system. Surely there would be those mouth protector thingies for it in the aeroplane first aid kit?

Still, even five minutes away from a hospital is sometimes too late. 30 minutes of CPR is an awful long time to basically flat line even with some limited oxygen provided. I hope for the best, but with experience and 2016 working its evil magic I'm leaning towards djones observation. The real touch and go moment will be in a few days, as I assume they are keeping her in a medical coma to recover, when they have to see how much brain activity there is and if they have to keep her on the ventilator for her to be able to breathe it is basically over.

Stable doesn't mean much in medical terms. Comatose = stable, braindeath = stable. It's a term that lets you say something without actually saying something.

Apparently it was 15 minutes without a pulse, but that's still way too long.

Yeah, I've seen it corrected later but the BBC article made it seem like 15+15 minutes in total.
