Talk:Xiphoid process

message: It is noted that pressure on the xiphoid process should be avoided while doing chest compressions for the reason that it can break off and puncture the heart muscle. This is incorrect as the heart is not located in that area. The reason the xiphoid process is avoided during compressions is because it can break and puncture the diaphragm. I left it be until someone of more expertise comes along. Master Thief-117 05:50, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The typhoid process has a meaning of Roman (old Roman Empire), for a voodoo (religious) sect knowing the cannibal recipe to produce it and mark the subject as belonging to some important Roman family or event or... process. If the schizophrenic voodoo hears voices and believes the person is being judged by Romans or in latin, he applies the xiphoid process tag recipe. The similarity to the word typhoid is no coincidence either but an indication that both conditions had a common source and were used as tag together in some time period; it does refer to something dirty or sordid, an element in the voodoo recipe to produce it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.240.72 (talk) 10:49, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Xiphoid process source 

message: The knowledge to produce a xiphoid process in a subject belongs to the Haruspices Roman schizophrenic tradition and is used to tag the subject as a non worker or leisured, so hopefully others in the knowing can read such condition from reading the subject entrails. Such tag was incorporated in Spanish in the word ocio, leisured time or generally monied people who do not work and do not do anything useful, from the Latin word ossium, as it is a bone structure that is affected hopefully expecting the not working subject to be unfit for leisured activities, including copulation. Such tradition would have been incorporated to voodoo later or have its origin in African practices.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.240.72 (talk) 11:16, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi Wikipedians - I think the "Superficial effect" section is dodgy. It is poorly written and supported only by citation of a very dodgy looking journal with about four articles total, two of which were written by the same guy. I do not think it's a reliable source, nor do I think the section adds anything to the article. That said, it's possible I'm missing something, so I'm hoping someone who knows more about anatomy than I do will take a look and, well, be bold. Thanks!
