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

Lots of #writing thoughts on Stranger Things Season 5.2
First, Dustin got the crap beat out of him, but looked like he just got punched in the nose.
His eyes should be swollen shut, and maybe even have some facial fractures that require surgery.
A quick fix to add realism

One of my favorite moments of the Christmas movie DIE HARD is when the SWAT team is advancing on the building and one of the cops winces at being scratched by a bush
Meanwhile, John McClane is walking barefoot on broken glass

Are there any recently-unemployed white guys looking for work here on Bsky?
I hear ICE is hiring, and they are in desperate need of someone with a soul to infiltrate their ranks. Plus they have a signing bonus.

1130pm. Christmas Eve
Our security cameras are going off. There’s someone in the backyard with a flashlight
I call dispatch. They send a pair of deputies
Its our contractor in the backyard. We’re redoing the patio, and he came, on CHRISTMAS EVE, to make sure it wasn’t flooding

Let’s talk about FROSTBITE🧵
Often misconstrued in film/tv
Think of it like BURNS, but it’s from tissue freezing
Just like burns, graded 1st-4th Degree
1: Superficial, redness
2: Blistering
3: Blood blisters/tissue death
4: Deeper involvement of bones/tendons/etc

Writers, want to turn the screws on your suffering protagonist?
SHINGLES (zoster) tends to pop up in times of stress
It usually starts as an itchy/burning strip of skin on ONE SIDE before the rash pops up +-2 days later
…and it can affect the face, including the EYE

Just listened to a @civics101pod.bsky.social podcast from back in 2020
It was about the start of COVID lockdowns and was full of sound clips from elected officials urging caution and quarantine, a time capsule of the uncertainty, fear, and now-absent trust we had in medicine
I cried

Is there anything more worthless than the arbitrary mild/medium/hot spice level on packaging?
No matter how spicy the label thinks it is, it’s either:
A) as spicy as styrofoam
II) going to result in liquid magma coming out your rectum in 12-24hrs

You can get just as much drama by putting your character into “V Fib” with the added benefit of not invoking the righteous anger of the 15% of your audience that owns a stethoscope
