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

tbf you cant swing a domestic feline with steady vitals without hitting a programmer here

[–] Knuschberkeks@leminal.space 12 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

They don’t respond therefore are null pointers.
