Pull the IV: Difference between revisions

*** Saito is shown checking his arm after waking up from the extraction. There's no mark and he feels no pain. The fact that Cobb and his crew were able to do this without leaving a trace clearly impresses him. How they do it isn't explained, but it's clear they've developed a way to do it painlessly and without marking the target.

*** Looking at the schematics of the device itself, one will notice the 'needle' is more like a pair of very small fangs, presumably small enough to go between the cells.

* ''Harry Brown'' of the eponymous film removes his monitors and goes home after waking in hospital following an emphysema attack.

* In the first ''[[X Men 1 (Film)|X Men 1]]'' movie, Wolverine wakes up at the medical room of the X-Men base and promptly rips out the needles. Doesn't bleed thanks to his hyper regeneration.

* Naturally, any TV series featuring an emergency department will show this at least once; notable examples include ''[[Greys Anatomy]]'' and ''[[ER (TV)|ER]]''.

* The breathing tube variant also appears in an episode of ''[[Royal Pains]].'' Jill asks Divya to have them take her breathing tube out; Divya explains she can't, and so Jill gives her a distraction so she can remove it herself.

* In an episode of ''[[Psych (TV)|Psych]]'', Henry Spencer, not wanting his son to embarrass him by this whole "barely poisoned" foolishness (thus resulting in his son languishing in a hospital rather than solving the case) yanks the IV out of Shawn's arm. Notably, it has quite painful results.
