How fair is life

2 codes in one day, both very different patients and very different outcomes.

The first patient was had tons of problems mainly secondary to his lifestyle and no family. The second patient had one problem - a car fell on his head while he was under it using a car jack.

The first patient survived his code and now is protected with pacing pads.

The second patient did not survive his code and the family grieves.
