People will wait to call the EMS because the EMS providers will insist on interrupting the game to get information. Grandpa will be just fine for another hour and a half because (and I quote) "those neurosurgeons can just turn him back on, you know, like in that movie?" |

Fiction is not reality. While fiction rarely shows the negative consequences of a trope, reality is not as forgiving. Every trope here can have serious if not fatal repercussions in reality if they are played straight. Unfortunately this is more dangerous than most people realize. Even though most real people don't consider fiction a reliable source of information, people don't usually don't remember where they learned stuff from, even just in the broad categories of 'reliable source' and 'unreliable source'. Television Is Trying to Kill Us may originate as a case of Reality Is Unrealistic. See also Do Not Try This At Home. The result of doing something on this index may well be a Darwin Award.
