Actually, we also take pulses much longer than necessary. We don’t start counting the beats as soon as we begin feeling your wrist, because as soon as we start, your sympathetic nervous system kicks in and your heart rate speeds up. We wait 30 to 45 seconds for it to return to normal before we start counting.

The undead must have fun with doctors. “You took my pulse! Give it back!”

I guess they take the undead’s pulse right after they steal their noses?

“Comspiracy”? That actually looks kind of cute.
