Well for one, you have to have brain function to remain semi-conscious. And part of the way they determine if you are brain dead is seeing if you have any cerebral blood flow. No cerebral blood flow, no consciousness.
Secondly, people without brain function are incapable of controlling their own blood pressure or heart beat. So any increase in heartbeat or blood pressure is being induced by the anesthesiologist to combat the drop in blood pressure from blood loss.
First you missed the point of that post.
Second, people with brain function can’t control their blood pressure. If they could we wouldn’t need BP meds. Unless your name is Dwight or Dennis.
I'm not sure if the post really has a point.... I was just explaining how the original post didn't really make any sense medically.
I mean, they can. Unless you believe something other than your cns is controlling your autonomic functions.....
Most people can't consciously control their blood pressure, but blood pressure is controlled by your cns, that is unless you are brain dead.
The way I read the OP was a joke about being a ticking blood bomb when being an organ donor.
