Do you have any medical background ? Did you ever use a coagulator ? Or ever saw a liver with your own eyes and the eventual scars those get because of routinely occurring small infarctii or such ? I doubt so, as this is utter bullshit.

Briefly, working as a theatre technician in coronary intervention. We used diathermy etc in the lab.
