The lung puncture thing cracked me up because you nailed exactly what's wrong with that scene. I dunno why writers think jamming a pen in somone fixes fluid buildup when air's already supposed to be there. I've seen that trope in atleast five different shows and every time I'm like "that's not how lungs work." Your point about office supplies as medical tools is perfect.

Funny how often that one pops up. Office supplies really do a lot of heavy lifting in TV medicine. Appreciate the comment.
