I don't give a shit about fiction. I give a shit that someone, somewhere, will be watching that and have their own bone marrow aspiration coming up, and that they will think that it's no big deal because it didn't look like one on TV. And then they're going to go in for the procedure and face the betrayal of a lifetime.

If you haven't had one, don't bother opining on that aspect. Hopefully you never have to find out firsthand.

If they're going to play doctor on those shows, they need to have some semblance of accuracy. Suspension of disbelief and whatnot. Leukemia doesn't make you fart cotton candy, brain bleeds don't give you the ability to fly and bone marrow aspirations are not painless little procedures. That's what I have a problem with. If you're going to make a show about genius medical experts who do not occupy some parallel dimension where the above claims are true, make it somewhat accurate.
