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
I get that, that was already discussed, so I wanted to focus on the confusing PPE situation
well ya theres that too.
It’s a Gilson pipette though. That’s the Rolls Royce of pipettes!
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
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 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.
I'm guessing they wanted a futuristic cyber syringe and figured they could get away with this.
