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)
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)
Factual error: After Dr. Austin directs the anesthesiologist to urgently start phentolamine intravenously to address the patient's hypertensive crisis on the operating room table, the anesthesiologist is seen quickly rolling the clamp on the line, purportedly to make it run faster. The clamp however is being rolled in the direction to close off line's flow. (00:20:20)
