Real surgeon breaks down medical scenes from movies and TV

Friday, March 16, 2018

As part of Wired magazine's Technique Critique series, Columbia University general surgeon resident Annie Onishi is brought in for an insightful critique of 49 medical procedures from movie and TV.
Would the adrenaline scene from Pulp Fiction actually play out that way? Is all that medical jargon we hear in shows like Grey's Anatomy and House true-to-life? Is removing a bullet really a cure-all for a gunshot wound?
CORRECTION: We misidentified the type of worm in the Grey's Anatomy episode at 5:23! It was actually Ascaris lumbricoides, not Strongyloides .
