A dead patient has steady vitals too.

Dead patients don't have any vitals at all.

Are their vitals at zero, or are they null? Steady if the former, error if the latter

[–] Knuschberkeks@leminal.space 12 points 3 months ago

they are null. People say "he's got no pulse", not "his pulse is zero"

They don’t respond therefore are null pointers.
