The chick on that show drives me nuts. She is some kind of alchemist/herbalist when it comes to concocting a medicine, but she don't know diddly when it comes to being a nurse. She can do reconstructive surgery on that dude's hand (nurses don't do that), but she doesn't know how to wash her hands (notice how even before surgery she made no attempt to even use clean equipment). Yo, Florence Nightengale; if you want to change the world tell people to wash their hands. When she miscarried and had placental abruption that dude stuck his hand up her to remove the placenta. Congrats, you won't bleed out. You will just go septic and die that way. Did they not have soap and water 300 years ago?
I am a nurse, we wash our hands. I saw one episode where she had a dog jump up on a sick patient's bed. I yelled at the TV "Are you out of your mind?"
