Clouds mainly consist of dihydrogen monoxide.

I am a very gullible person to be reading this discussion list.

Clouds are also metaphors for the “body” and therefore I am an embracer of clouds.

I know that I can persuade, nay convince anyone of the ultimate truth, but I cannot make them rich.

Shock: any condition in which the circulatory system is unable to provide
adequate circulation to the body tissues, also called circulatory failure or
circulatory collapse. Shock results in the slowing of vital functions and in
severe cases, if untreated, in death. It may be caused by inadequate pumping
by the heart, by reduction of the blood volume due to dehydration or to loss
of blood or plasma, or by reduced blood pressure resulting from dilation of
the blood vessels. Inadequate pumping may occur as a result of various kinds
of heart disease. Blood loss may result from injuries or from such internal
conditions as bleeding ulcers. Burns produce extensive plasma loss from
blood vessels into the burned area; crush injuries may result in loss of
blood and plasma into the injured tissues. Dilation of blood vessels may be
caused by injury to the nervous system, or by pain or emotional stress.
Fainting is a form of shock brought about by a sudden reduction of the blood
supply to the brain. Symptoms of shock include weakness, pallor, cold and
moist skin, and thirst. The arterial blood pressure is reduced, the pulse is
weak and rapid, and the surface veins of the limbs may collapse. Emergency
aid for shock victims includes maintaining a clear breathing passage,
administering oxygen, controlling bleeding, and keeping the patient warm and
in a supine position with legs elevated. Therapy may include blood or plasma
transfusion to restore the normal circulation, as well as treatment of the
underlying cause of shock.
