Education on line

I tend to watch (actually download, then watch later) educational stuff on youtube.

While watching a video (about atrial fibrillation) he mentioned he had a knol about it.

So factoid for today: if you know something, you can publish it as a knol, and even embed your youtube video in the knol.

If you are wondering what is A.Fib: you diagnose it because the heart rate is "irregularly irregular" on the EKG or pulse. It can be due to heart disease, medicine, or thyroid problems.

Since the atria aren't pumping, you can get clots there, which can cause problems. So we usually put these people on blood thinner.
