@Aisling "Probably, yes, although there must be more to us..." Dracula answered. "We must have something like a soul. Otherwise, vampires couldn't exist, and neither could ghosts."

@Aisling "Not always," Dracula said. "I've worked as a psychiatrist, and I've once had a patient who had suffered brain damage from a crash with his motorcycle. Before that, he was perfectly healthy. Now he believed his mother had taken him to Hell, which was confirmed by the fact that she had taken him to South Africa, where it was hot and all."

@Aisling "Ice is a good conservative, and it allows the brain to survive without oxygen for longer, but you couldn't go and revive the Iceman," Dracula explained. "And people whose hearts have stopped for longer than a few minutes are likely to have suffered brain damage. I am no exception. But brain damage isn't always that obvious, since it can cause basically everything, depending mainly on the part of the brain has been damaged... Ioan, for example, can't walk any more because of brain damage, while with me, it probably caused my psychological problems..."

@Aisling The father shook his head. "15 minutes is way too quick. There are people who have been revived for five hours, and they survived it without any severe brain damage. And brain damage doesn't always start after such a short time. Usually, it starts after three minutes without any circulation, but depending on your body temperature, that time span can increase to up to thirty mintues. As I said, Vladi was cold, and CPR keeps the blood circulating at rates of about 33 per cent of its normal rate. That's why CPR is so important: Not because it makes the heart beat - it doesn't in most cases - but because it prevents brain damage."

@Aisling "So am I," Dracula said and looked at his children. "I would have missed out on so many amazing things if I had died back then..." "It's a miracle that he survived," Dracula's father said. "In most cases, just CPR isn't enough, but sometimes, the blood flow makes the heart beat. And he survived it without any severe brain damage, although it took Ioan almost two hours until he got him breathing..."

@Aisling "There were like a thousand times that I almost died," Dracula said. "When I was a child, for example, I almost drowned, and it is only because of Ioan that I'm still here." "When he was six, he fell into a river," his father told. "He was in a terrible condition when we finally got him out: He was pale, he was cold, his lungs were full of water, he wasn't breathing, he had no pulse,... I cried because I thought he was dead, but Ioan said he knew what to do. And began giving him CPR."

@Aisling Dracula sighed. "Nothing new to me... being closer to death than to life."

@Aisling Okay... didn't see that post

@Aisling Toma smiled. "I like helping others." Just then, Dracula opened his eyes. "How are you?" his father asked with a soft voice. "Dizzy..." Dracula answered.

@Aisling Toma shook his head. "Only when my heart stops. That's why it's called a near death experience: You experience it when you are near to death."
