casjen and Czakharein: The K2 is like that as well, especially the last two episodes. Ah well. Still love him.
Oh yes, completely far fetched. I often can't help thinking about first aid in these situations.
1. Bandages over clothes
2. Blood on the outside of a dressing. If the blood has reached that far, something is not right and needs to be dealt with.
3. Gently dabbing at a forehead with a dry towel when that person is sick. I get it may be for the comfort of the actor but sometimes a cold wet cloth is much more effective. I think this is more of a dramatic device rather than trying to be real. Kinda like pulling a blanket up over someone even on a hot summer's night to show the caring of that character.
4. Drip stands, they must only have access to old tech or they do things differently as I predominantly see gravity fed systems. Still a useful and good way of delivering fluids though.
5. Paramedics seem to only play the role of delivery person, I get they aren't really part of the story, but surely they should be doing something.
6. Does nobody know how to do CPR? Doctor Stranger - Lee Jong Suk's character Park Hoon is supposed to be an awesome cardio surgeon yet he still yells for it to be done and doesn't end up starting, instead waiting for the crash cart.
7. Alcohol for hypothermia (really cold) is highly detrimental. Alcohol dilates blood vessels causing rapid heat loss and inhibits shivering. Any warmth felt by the consumption of alcohol is merely an illusion.
That written, however, I am being logical and as I often ask my friend when it comes to tv: "Are you being logical again?".
