Keep in mind that this is coming from a nurse's perspective, but I found MULTIPLE errors regarding Dani's treatment. First of all, giving CPR, Josh should have paused to breathe for her before Babe took it upon herself to do it. And what compressions? Josh was barely touching her. Then Josh was supposed to say 'anticholinergics' and the actor couldn't get the word out correctly. Pretty amazing that a former 'doctor' can't pronounce a well-known class of drugs. And if that weren't enough he told the EMTs to administer a gram of lidocaine??? Yeah - iif you want to kill her! And I though it was absolutely amazing that Dr Joe was able to intubate her from the side without being able to visualize the vocal cords. Who does their medical research? I've never seen so many errors. If they need a new consultant, I'll happily volunteer

LMAO Beth! ;D You think exactly like I do! I love that! A few weeks ago on DOOL, EJ went to confront Will about Sami's lies regarding the supposed appendectomy. Anywho. First off, Will put the bandage on the wrong side. Secondly, front what I've seen first hand after my nephew's appendectomy, Will was too energetic. He should have been falling all over himself, weak and woozy, from the Vicodin. I know because after my surgery, Dec. 2005 (gallbladder removal), I was really bad off from the Vicodin they prescribed. And lastly, Will's bandage had some "blood" on it. From what I know, after post op, if the sutures tear and begin to bleed you SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY! Nevermind the fact that Will, as a minor, was supposed to be supervised at all times, considering the fact that he was be have been "newly prescribed" and highly addictive drug that's known to have various negative side effects. LMFAO! ;D ;D ;D Oh well. At least I had fun watching James. Despite the obvious bloopers. ;D

Zoe, you kind of have to give DAYS a free pass on Will - he was only pretending to have had an appendectomy. I know, for a son of Lucas and Sami you would think that he would be able to lie better, but he wasn't.
I've noticed numerous medical mistakes on the soaps over the years, some funny and some not. One that really got my goat was how they depicted Kelly having thrombophilia on OLTL. I HAVE thrombophilia, and while the pregnancies are risky there is treatment. Kelly was never shown getting any kind of special care, or anything else for that matter.

LOL Cathy! ;D I laughed at the follies through out the entire show. I know he was "only pretending". What I meant was he could have thought of acting a little more...ummm sick. He could have actually looked up what the symptoms of post op appendectomies are like so as to better fool EJ. What baffled me even more than that is that EJ didn't immediately clue into Will's deception. Didn't EJ go to Oxford? Hmmm...

That is too funny! I'm glad I'm not the only one that notices things like that. Like or hate the brain tumor s/l, I was surprised that they actually got that much medical information right for a change ;D

Here's the biggest medical blooper of all. When Babe was yelling about the killer, she says, "So what am I supposed to do -- just sit in a corner and cry? How about we all take a nap and we wake up when we're all dead? I want to look this lowlife in the face." Now, unless I'm mistaken, nobody in the history of the world has EVER taken a nap, then woke up DEAD!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Who the hell would have written such an asinine line? If I were Alexa, I would have refused to say that line. I really thought I had heard it wrong. I couldn't believe anyone would ever say anything so stupid. Maybe she just said it wrong???

Who does their medical research? I've never seen so many errors. If they need a new consultant, I'll happily volunteer Oh, how selfless of you, Beth. To volunteer to work in such appalling conditions for such a noble cause. The promotion of proper medical terminology and procedures in fake hospitals on pretend patients. ;D ;D ;D
