Surgeon's Game

I agree, nurses can do that but it can be put in the realm of specialised knowledge and so you should spell it out. It could solved simply by having her deal with a violent patient early in the piece so that it is no surprise when she does it to Daniel; alternately reveal her concealing the syringe behind her back on approach so the audience knows but Daniel doesn't.

That's a good suggestion. Thanks! :beer:

I agree...good suggestion, I think that clears it up, foreshadows it a bit. I also like the syringe behind the back bit, nice to build the tension.

I've heard that one of the larger hospitals in my area has an equiped but empty wing used at times for teaching simulations, incl trauma simulations thus I assume including an OR. It might be easier to get permission to shoot in a section of hospital that is often empty.
Due to the way blood supply to the intestine runs, one usually removes a large chunk of colon, not an inch or two.
