When a heart's rhythm is out of rhyme
drastic measures are oft applied.
Two Cardiac inversions in one week
were needed to give her heart a tweak.
After that an I.V. Drip
to ensure no need for a third trip.
Now my sister is home
but feeling weak,
having died twice, so to speak.
My sister cheated the Reaper twice!
"Play the lotto!" is my advice.

The Cardiac inversion procedure stops and restarts a person's heart to reestablish a rhythm disrupted by an arrhythmia. The patient comes out of it feeling like they have been hit in the face by a 2x4. With proper medication, the restarted heart will stay on track, avoiding the risk of heart attacks or stroke.
