REAL
-
“What’s that you’re spraying on him? Ethyl chloride.” When Dr. Rhodes performs a lymph node biopsy to Desmond, an ethyl chloride is sprayed to his neck before inserting a needle. In this case, it’s true when Dr. Rhodes says this will help prevent the pain caused by injections.
-
“Count the holes. If there’s an even number, it came out.” A man named Jason is brought to E.D. due to gunshot wounds. When Dr. Choi asks Noah about what to do after they figure out where the bullet went in, Noah is right when he says they should count the holes and if it’s an even number, it came out. In reality, there is what you call “bullet rule.” The rule states that the sum of the number of bullet wounds and actual bullets seen on diagnostic imaging should always be an even number. Bullets can either traverse the body and leave both entrance and exit wounds, or they can enter and remain in the body.
-
“Valley fever is highly infectious.” When Desmond is admitted to hospital, he shows flu-like symptoms and labs revealed that he has Valley fever. It’s true that this is higly infectious disease since it is a fungal infection that can cause fever, chest pain and coughing, among other signs and symptoms.
FAKE
- Nothing’s wrong with the episode.
