We don’t need to sacrifice more rabbits to show how often it happens.”In his letter, Dr Sheridan agrees that 1 study2 has unequivocally shown cardiac capture at 240 bpm for 10 seconds in a human with an experimental TASER model. (To the best of my knowledge, TASER has never revealed the specifications of that model and the differences, if any, between it …
