We expect a certain level of medical farfetchery on TV and in the movies. But this sort of unrealism doesn't really hurt anything other than our intelligence, unlike these Hollywood medical myths, which could hurt you to death:
What would you do if you found a magical object that could create anything you asked for, instantly? Or a clock that could stop time? This is the type of thing that comes up in movies all the time. And for the most part, what the characters choose to do makes no freaking sense.
We just assume that the moment a Batman or a Rambo were dreamed up, the writer knew he had a world-changing icon on his hands. Turns out we here at Cracked have a little more faith and foresight than the creators of these characters.
