We've all heard it: nurses can't watch medical shows without getting annoyed about how inaccurate they are. Lately, I'm finding that the most ridiculous medical mistakes happen on police procedural dramas (Law and Order, Criminal Minds, etc.); at least the medical shows have people with medical backgrounds advising them.
Anybody have some funny tv medical mistakes to share??
Last week I was watching a rerun of Criminal Minds. The victim had been drugged with haldol by her kidnapper. When the police rushed in to save her, the EMS gave her a bolus of narcan and she magically awoke. It was a flipping miracle!! ?
NCIS episode with a "bald" cancer pt who had perfect eyebrows & lashes... with mascara no less.
Um, I decided to "pretty up" one day with some makeup, and found I had NO eyelashes, not only was I bald but evverry piece of hair everywhere was gone.
