Now I don’t even believe that pipette is properly calibrated!
I'd be screaming too lmao

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.
Midnitte@beehaw.org 2 weeks ago
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.

How would you even pierce the skin like that with a micropipette?
Zerush@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
With enough force
porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
It doesn’t even have a tip on lol

Would a tip even make a difference when it comes to piercing skin?

Ah yes, the cure to death is indeed a stab to the heart

Death is like chicken pox, right? Deal with it once and you never have to worry about it again?
RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Most people who die never die again, so I guess it kinda is.

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?
Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
He’s using a pipette.

I get that, that was already discussed, so I wanted to focus on the confusing PPE situation
GargleBlaster@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Tip? You mean the protective pieptte-hat? (And yes, I’ve had med students call them that and trying to pipette without a tip)
icelimit@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
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!

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.
stoy@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Fair point!
Eheran@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
The pipette really takes the cake. Like what the fuck, have you never seen a syringe?
jodanlime@midwest.social 3 weeks ago
I’m guessing they wanted a futuristic cyber syringe and figured they could get away with this.
stephen01king@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
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.
