weird, thoughts on multi, serious health problems 

I wonder if a person with multiple hearts (say a taur with one in each torso maybe) could have a heart attack in one and just not notice it at all... huh.

@Felthry I was curious about this, so I looked up heart attacks. It seems to me that they'd still be likely to feel it as painful, but it wouldn't lead to cardiac arrest or anything further.

maybe getting a little gross re: weird, thoughts on multi, serious health problems 

@dodec even if one heart did stop, i imagine the others could keep going. I wonder if you'd have to have the stopped one surgically removed or if it could be restarted or just left there like they do when one kidney fails
