Lost Update season 1 episode 13 cliche #2

Ok the asian that suddenly speaks english was the first cliche, I just witnessed the second cliche. Somebodys heart stopped and a doctor was pounding on the newly dead person saying a bunch of shit until a nurse or another doctor or someone else (Possibly someone from atchison) grabs them and stops them. I never understood this, keep beating the newly dead persons heart until you are content. In a TV show though it's like you only get 2 minutes to pump a persons heart when they are in cardiac arrest, that is followed by random pounding, that is followed by screaming "Come back" then someone else grabs the person and preclaims "it's over!" like a boxing match where one person (possibly rob calloway) is getting pounded. If I was in that room I would be like "Punch that heart as much as you want! I always wanted to kick the shit out of that motherfucker anyway, here is your chance!"
