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)
