A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
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!
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
I get that, that was already discussed, so I wanted to focus on the confusing PPE situation
well ya theres that too.
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.
Looks like he's using an autopipette without a tip to perform the injection...
Now I don't even believe that pipette is properly calibrated!
How would you even pierce the skin like that with a micropipette?
With enough force
It doesn't even have a tip on lol
Would a tip even make a difference when it comes to piercing skin?
They're quite a lot pointier, I think it would help
Just need more pressure. Like 120 psi micropipette
Ah yes, the cure to death is indeed a stab to the gut
