I'm coming into this a little late, hope you don’t mind. I've been reading the other comments you've gotten and I agree with a lot that's been said already so I won't repeat it again.
One thing that I haven't seen mentioned that REALLY bugs me is medical stuff that is just plan WRONG! Once I read a story where Rodney is having a seizure (not related to Duet) and Carson sticks his fingers in Rodney's mouth to stop him from swallowing his tongue! Yes I realize the older first aid guides for seizures say that something needs to be placed in the person's mouth when they are having a seizure but everyone should know by now that it is a very bad idea to do so! Especially since swallowing your tongue is impossible and the person would probably end up with cracked teeth or a broken jaw. And if someone stuck their fingers in the mouth of a person having a seizure they'd probably get bitten off and the person would choke on them!! Its even more stupid for Beckett to be doing it since he's a doctor!
