Ok, so let me get this straight, the assistants are wearing full body heavy PPE, overalls, respirators and gloves, though the overalls and gloves are not connected together, nor are the assistants wearing any eye protection?
And the doctor injecting the patient doesn't even wear gloves?
He's using a pipette... even worse, with NO TIP! and in a random spot on the arm!
I get that, that was already discussed, so I wanted to focus on the confusing PPE situation
well ya theres that too.
Tip? You mean the protective pieptte-hat? (And yes, I've had med students call them that and trying to pipette without a tip)
HA! Thats hilarious. I'm in med lab and love this stuff, the memes are top tier
No, that's an osteo-injection, the tip is deep inside her already. Given how thin her arms are, he probably misjudged and is about to dribble the poison onto his shoes.
It’s a Gilson pipette though. That’s the Rolls Royce of pipettes!
Whatever this is, it's clearly a high-stress situation. They were in the middle of preparing when shit went down, cut them some slack.
Fair point!
The pipette really takes the cake. Like what the fuck, have you never seen a syringe?
I'm guessing they wanted a futuristic cyber syringe and figured they could get away with this.
I'm not sure a syringe would be allowed during filming such scenes. Maybe they don't have the budget for a fake syringe prop.
You don't have to put a needle on it, and there are non-sharp needles too.
I'll just let you know right now that there isn't such a thing as a "safe narrow bit of metal" when you're jabbing down at a flailing arm, even in acting.
right so they use plastic and rubber and retractable tips and such they call it movie magic
Probably afraid of an Alec Baldwin incident.
