In this Wired video, Columbia University general surgery resident Annie Onishi watches ER and operating room scenes from some film and TV scenes, including Uma Thurman’s adrenaline-to-the-heart one in Pulp Fiction, and gives her professional opinion on their accuracy. Although it’s 20 minutes long, it’s entertaining, so give it a watch… STAT.
