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!
No, that’s an osteo-injection, the tip is deep inside her already. Given how thin her arms are, he probably misjudged and is about to dribble the poison onto his shoes.
It’s a Gilson pipette though. That’s the Rolls Royce of pipettes!
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.
right so they use plastic and rubber and retractable tips and such they call it movie magic
Probably afraid of an Alec Baldwin incident.

Now I don’t even believe that pipette is properly calibrated!
Looks like he’s using an autopipette without a tip to perform the injection…
Spotting things being used as props in movies is so much fun, thank you for this one.
Yep yep… Wonder if it’s this brand - not the same model since the button is a different color, but the tip ejector is similar.
Guess I better be more careful.
They’ll often use paint and/or make minor modifications to make things harder to recognize or spot :) could be a different model or it could have been missing a button in the prop room!
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
Death is like chicken pox, right? Deal with it once and you never have to worry about it again?
Most people who die never die again, so I guess it kinda is.
Most people? (◕︿◕)
Some people are revived and die again. Girl I grew up with died like 7 times, last I heard she was fine.
Oh yeah I forgot that can happen. No zombie apocalypse then (yet)
