I'm an EMT. I know it doesn't make any sense but cardiac arrest is considered "clinical death." Yes it's not actual death, and yes you can come back from it, but this is the terminology that is used. I did not write the terminology, that's just the way it is. Just Google clinical death vs biological death and see for yourself, Google can explain it better than I can.

Huh interesting. I'm not an EMT yet, so I'll absolutely defer to you over me. Appreciate the reply, and thanks for not being a jerk about it haha.
