Conclusion My hypothesis stated that Digitalis and Furosemide will both work upon the patient’s left side heart failure. However, the experiment concluded that only Digitalis was effective upon the patient’s condition. Administration of Furosemide led to a relatively quick death of the patient. I did not expect the patient to die while being administered Furosemide. In fact, I had hypothesized that while both drugs would work effectively upon the patient, that the Furosemide would work at a…

Imagine a man who is so smart that he clearly observes major enlightenments and downfalls of a new nation. Now, imagine a man who is so shy he rarely talks to women.
