If they were to be carefully separated, but with the SA & AV nodes still connected somehow (ignoring the fact that the Perkinje fibres and bundle of hiss can also act as pacemakers), you'd have two separate hearts doing their thing
It was a shitty situation, and it absolutely turned my life upside down
The bright side is that it gave me the push to do something I'd wanted to do for many years, but I was stuck in the golden handcuffs of my career
There's not a thing that I miss about my former life. Even the money was actually starting to become a problem, because it was turning into something that I was chasing purely for its own sake
It's funny where you end up sometimes, and absolutely crazy how we can get there
I have worked for absolutely huge government departments, and in private industry doing the same thing
The private sector did the job with fewer people sometimes, but the costs to the government were astronomical and the profits went offshore
Working for the government department meant more people were spending their money in the local economy
I know which one was better for society, and if it wasn't for people getting sweet deals to contract out works, then it would all have been government run, the way it should always have been
Religion has been said, but religion is always just the excuse for justifying greed
Belief that some unfalsafiable deity is behind you, and therefore any of your actions are righteous is incredibly dangerous, because there's no accountability. How many atrocities are justified by religion, and the belief that justice will be done in the next life?
Religion is used to justify things like the fascist movement currently sweeping through the US, abhorrent regimes in the middle-east, and the subjugation of people (particularly women) everywhere
Of course, religion is the justification, but the real objective is to gather more wealth and power
From the mega-churches in the US, to the Vatican, to the mullah in a village somewhere in the world, it's all about having more
