Medical and psych. The beefy male orderlies in white tackling people. 10% of the time it’s like that, more so on a child or adolescent unit, but mostly it’s hey, let’s go talk over here about your feelings and come up with better choices and that works. Being heard, works. Most of the time, the orderlies wear street clothes. The shot is real but it goes in a muscle not the neck.
Surgical Tech here. OR scenes are pretty comical. Order of, or even complete absence of head cover / mask in relation to hand scrub. Touching shit that isn't on the sterile field. Using the wrong instruments. Leaving during an inappropriate part of the case.
The intro of the Dr Strange movie comes to mind - iirc they have masks initially, but they just disappear mid-operation, then he fishes a bullet out of the brain with a pituitary rongeur, everybody oohs and aahs and then he just leaves lol. He must have a really good tech if he expects them to close the dura, repair the skull, and close the scalp, not to mention cutting/drilling through all that shit to get initial access in the first place.
...and it's hailed as one of the better OR scenes, lol.
the dramatic pull down your mask with your bloody sterile gloves always gets a physical reaction from me like I'm yelling at the student to stop back away and don't touch anything else
