Creatives, don’t just make up medical nonsense for your story.
15% of your audience works in healthcare.
Unrealistic portrayals make your characters and story lose credibility… AND can cause real life harm to any real life people who believe it

Conversation I overheard walking past my wife (finance pro) putting my daughter (3) to bed:
Wife (fun/whimsical): what if I told you I could take your money and turn it into MORE money?!?!
3: ….😭wwwaaahhh!!!! Don’t take my money!!!!!!!😭

Creatives, stop thinking you’re being clever by having your characters shot in the shoulder
As this lovely photo shows, there is a GIANT artery and vein right above the collarbone. And those yellow lines are the nerves that control all function to the arm
Best to avoid those🤷♂️

Can we just STOP already with characters telling each other to “just take a couple aspirin”!?!
Aspirin is a blood thinner.
If your character just got the $#!+ beat out of them and they curiously decided NOT to go to the hospital, that aspirin is not good for internal bleeding

My dudes, I FINALLY found a good use for AI
For years I have trolled the forums searching for an 80s TV kids movie I vividly recall with specific details and quotes to no avail
After 3 rounds of prompting, google ai eventually suggested the Australian TV series: The Girl From Tomorrow for the WIN!

Wouldn’t a better first step have been to change the Dept of Justice to the Dept of Payback/Bullying?

Creatives, here’s your periodic reminder that YOU CAN’T SHOCK A $&#%ING FLATLINE!
You can get just as much drama by sending your character into V-Fib arrest without infuriating off the 15% of your audience that works in healthcare.
Accuracy matters.

If he says “simple fact,” the next thing he says will be nuclear grade gaslighting. Every time.

As an Emergency Physician, my life has been in more danger at my job than the ICE henchman’s who assassinated Renee Good
As an Emergency Physician, my life has been in more danger at my job than the ICE henchman’s who assassinated Renee Good
The ICE agent called her a "fucking bitch" after he killed her. One officer screams "Go, get out of here" while this officer says "Get out of the car." You clearly see her turn the wheel AWAY from him after he steps in front of her car. Did they think releasing this would help them?? cw // violence
