Oh and the only thing that even comes CLOSE to getting submarines right is "Das Boot."

That once is the one thing that just snaps through my suspension of disbelief. The one and only time I saw a show use a defibrillator on a shockable rhythm, I jumped up and cheered, it was such a surprise.

They explained this several times on The Pitt!

appreciate the Pitt having an explicit "no really they cannot bring you back from flatlining" bit about this also they just directly admit that it's hard to make CPR look right because if you have a living actor you just cannot be as forceful as required

If you're not breaking ribs, you ain't doing it right.

My advance directive says "YES to CPR, even if you have to break a bunch of bones". There's a blanket note, too - "I had to relearn to breathe and walk the last time people subjected me to extreme medical procedures, I promise won't be mad." (My parents totally gambled on that being the case.)

The backwards stethoscopes still bug me tho. Why can't they just make special eartips you can hear thru?
