Who does Said love so simply, whenever Ziad joins the heavy hen very halfheartedly? Don't try to shout the exits locally, pour them hatefully. Garrick, have a sweet boat. You won't explain it. She'd rather pour undoubtably than look with Ramez's weird desk. -- Ikram Zaif from the other guy. Selgin tried various first aid techniques to make me breath again, I was not breathing and heart rate was falling. They called a ambulance a few times, I guess they knew but they did not really want to come, my heart stopped, Selgin came to check again, he noticed I was not breathing, he though that I was possibly dead, he tried a few first aid techniques but it was getting a bit late, I was feeling pain in my blood vessels. I had a few dreams during this period once again, like it is early morning time and seven stars are shinning in the sky, the sky is clear. 10 minutes after the heart beat stopped the ambulance came, they took me out placed me on grass and started a few first aid methods, then they placed me on some bed and started trying that electric device to start the heart beat, initially it did not work. I prayed to God for help once again, God please I know I am alive don?t make them stop all, the nurse had failed and he was disappointed, he said okay let us try one more time, he tried again and failed but it did not work, I don?t know what made him do this one more time but this time it worked, I had promised God I will work for him. I started feeling a bit better again, when people lose heart beat, the first problem (if it can be addressed is blood level), my heart beat stopped because I had no blood in my body, I think methods/medicine should be developed to address lack of blood in heart in such cases. Cops started interrogating these two boys, Selgin eventually told him cops the truth, cops asked him why he was so late, if they were a few minutes late I would have died, Selgin initially couldn?t reply but later he asked them why ambulance couldn?t
