...just turned in my fourth paper in a week-and-a-half and blah, blah, blah...you know what I mean and you probably have had it worse...
Although Bradley's complete medical record has yet to be released, what we do know is encouraging. His total cholesterol level of 161 mg/dL places him solidly among the heart-smart set. His blood pressure is an enviable 118/68, and his pulse holds steady at 55 beats a minute...
Atrial fibrillation occurs when the smaller two chambers of the heart (the atria) contract faster than the two larger ones (the ventricles), causing an erratic but still viable flow of blood.

Though it appears from public accounts that Harris was more prone to violence than Klebold, neither kid was likely to go on this rampage alone...
