Martha's heart

[girl_from_uk]

What is up with her heart because I think Alf mentioned she may have a problem with it when she had the panick attack.

[eib]

From the car crash, I think.

From the car crash, I think.

I thought it was that but I wasent sure....how can her heart be bad from that?

[Liz]

As far as I was concerned, only her spine was damaged in the car crash.

Well if I'm not mistaken she went into Cardiac Arrest twice(?) - I'm no doctor but I reckon that may weaken the heart a little bit...

^ Yeah Dan's right, Flynn said it was because she'd had a cardiac arrest after the car crash and they'd had to bring her back to life. That's a pretty big trauma so they're bound to be careful where her heart is concerned.

[Liz]

Yet in true H&A style, it's hardly ever mentioned.

[Smiler]

Would it need to be? Martha is apparently some sort of super-human who could walk again a week after being paralysed from the waist down, whilst Kim had to wander around on crutches, with a plaster-cast, for about a month and a half after the accident. I may be dumb, but I thought Martha's injuries from the accident were a lot more serious than Kim's broken leg? Hmmm.

Let's hope Martha's neuroses heal just as quickly as her legs, coz I'm finding that storyline kind of dumb, and a bit boring!!!

They need Feargal Sharkey.

I'm pretty sure Martha did have some sort of walking sticks/frame to help her walk for about a month after the accident.
