Someone save me from badly acted TV injections! It happens constantly and I'm over it.
Have you noticed how actors always
STAB injections into people?! I can honestly say that I've never seen a show where an actor delivers an injection that looks the same as when a doctor does it in real life.
Too many actors SMASH injections into people in such an unrealistic way it's totally unconvincing.
Flash fact: the injections they use on TV have a needle that drops back into the syringe so the needle slides into the syringe as it hits skin.
This is obviously why they use so much force behind it because they know it isn't going to hurt the actor they're injecting so they plunge it in because they know they can. I don't watch medical dramas - I never have - so it might be different on those shows but it happens on other shows all the time.
It's a similar problem to mouth-to-mouth resuscitation which so many shows do wrong too. A paramedic friend of mine was telling me that when you give mouth-to-mouth you have to tilt the person's head to a particular angle to clear their windpipe but actors constantly fail to do this. They simply hold the person's nose and breathe furiously. If you haven't noticed it before, take a look and you'll see what I mean.
Actors are obviously in desperate need of classes in Medical Enactments. Someone organise please!
