Why is it that one can lose their mind and survive but if one loses their aorta they die?

cause you need your heart to survive but you dont need your mind

You're so vein, you pulmonary think this song is aorta ... This post was edited by Slartibartfast at November 3, 2017 8:07 PM MDT

let's see...
the Aorta you can hold in your hand
it has weight
you can see it there ...Throbing...
   If One makes his mind
to be like a reflective Pool
with out any thoughts,
when it becomes that, 
One has lost their mind...so to speak
and it's an OK thing

You won't "lose" it but if it ruptures... that can very easily be curtains.

I had an ultrasound aorta screening recently - a new NHS initiative for men over-60 - and was naturally delighted to be told all is normal and healthy!

The nurse explained the image to me: "That dark patch is the corner of your liver..." and so on, but I do admire the skill and knowledge of the diagnostic-imaging people in being able to analyse a complicated, rather grainy, monochrome ultrasound image.
