THANK YOU for countering the old Hollywood myth of "biting the bullet"! I also do medical interpretation, and that's one I always try to address.

[@BobbleheadGeorge]

Thank you for watching! Dr. Grimes really knows his stuff. We were honored to be able to talk with him.

09:00+, these guys are getting more and more uncomfortable as he goes on. (and I don't blame them)😆😂🤣

[@BobbleheadGeorge]

When Dr. Grimes described the "retractor" we were very uncomfortable!

I'm sorry, but that lady wearing the mask telling us about primitive medicine, and thus illustrating how difficult it was to overcome ignorance and superstition, just strikes me as Ridiculous and Hypocritical. (and yes I know it was during the mass execution aka the lockdown)
