How fast does chloroform knocks people out?
Chloroform does work like we see in movies in the sense that if you soak a rag and cover a persons nose and mouth with it they will lose consciousness within a minute, or four or five deep breaths. What they don't show you is a lay person doing that will almost certainly kill the person because theyRead more
Chloroform does work like we see in movies in the sense that if you soak a rag and cover a persons nose and mouth with it they will lose consciousness within a minute, or four or five deep breaths. What they don’t show you is a lay person doing that will almost certainly kill the person because they won’t manage the airway properly. When you lose consciousness like this your airway collapses and fills with secretions. That’s why we use breathing tubes and medications in the operating room to keep you breathing safely.

By any chance, is it possible dogs understand a bit of human conversations?
Yes they do, although they can’t quite speak for themselves, they have a deep understanding of the potential use of language, and some dogs are actually so interested in our languages that they’ll begin to learn it kind of like a newborn human baby learns.

Yes they do, although they can’t quite speak for themselves, they have a deep understanding of the potential use of language, and some dogs are actually so interested in our languages that they’ll begin to learn it kind of like a newborn human baby learns. Some dogs, such as helper dogs, therapy dogs, are specially trained to understand certain words. Some K-9’s are taught different languages in case someone tries to tell them what to do, and the dog won’t respond unless its in the owners specified language, and most often their officers choose German or Russian. Helper dogs and therapy dogs are trained to also recognize help words such as “help” “fell” “call police” “ouch” and will come to your aid. Some dogs are even trained to perform actions dependent on a key phrase, kind of like bucky barns, the winter soldier. These phrases can trigger them to do anything you want such as “sit” if you put it simply. Dogs understand that we speak, and probably know a lot more of our languages than they can say. Try talking to your dog, and training them to perform an action after saying something.
