What’s the real story about cutting off circulation?  Where are those nerves and blood vessels?  When do you “really” have to worry if a limb turns cold?  Has the bottom actually gone into shock or is it something much less serious?  What is positional asphyxia?  What are the carotid sinus bodies?  What is commotio cordis?  Come join Jay Wiseman, author of “Dungeon Emergencies and Supplies”, former director of training for an ambulance service, and a former instructor in advanced cardiac life support as he presents a BDSM-oriented overview of how a body is built, how it works, how to prevent problems, what can go wrong, what to look for, when to worry, and what do.
