Medical truth it ain't
9 April 2019
I'm enjoying every episode of this now 7-year old series. Particularly now that many of the privacy-busting hacks are more relevant, if not more possible in 2019. But medicine is something I know a little about and the errors are shaking my addiction to the Kool Aid. In the emergency hallway the surgeon refers to a patient "swallow(ing) his tongue." Patients don't do that and no medical professional would say it. Later the Brit "Alex" commands the surgeon to give the patient "100 CCs of heparin" during the surgery. Heparin is available in many strengths and is dosed in units, not CCs (cubic centimeters). Later the surgeon surreptitiously draws up a syringe with probably less than 10 CCs of heparin. I'm only 18 minutes in.
