Last Shot - S3-E15

Factual error: The girl Lucy is undergoing an awake craniotomy for her brain tumour and develops malignant hyperthermia mid-case. This is a very specific reaction to medications (muscle relaxant suxamethonium or anaesthetic gas such as sevoflurane). Based on the episode, she has had no such medications as she is fully awake in the procedure. Thus, it would be essentially impossible for this complication to occur. (00:27:44)

Last Shot - S3-E15

Factual error: Lucy is having brain surgery. However, under the surgical drapes, she is still wearing her white hat (used to stop hair falling off heads onto patients when operating). This hat would never be left on as it would literally be in the sterile surgical field. (00:27:50)

Character mistake: Every single time they place a baby on a resuscitaire they put it the wrong way round. Babies are placed feet first into the bed so that you have easy access to the face for resuscitation and chest compressions while standing at the end of the bed, but they put them so the head is furthest away from them.
