And anyone who thinks that you can read a textbook description of “how to intubate” and then just perform an intubation… Good luck with that.

Wait! I saw Radar in a moving jeep insert a breathing tube with a pen on MASH while Hawkeye gave instructions! If Radar can do it, so can I!

The idea that I would let ANYONE perform surgery on me using instructions they got from an LLM...

There a scene in The Heat where Sandra Bullock tries a tracheostomy… I'm kinda reminded of that now. Hell, sometimes the ED docs call in anesthesia place an ET tube because it's so tricky. And you'll never see someone work as hard as an ortho doc who realizes the prosthetic/screw is going in wrong.

Laugh-crying in the biological sciences...

I challenge any of these people to take one (one) biology class that involves a dissection lab, and then tell us how easy it is to determine ANYTHING with only a textbook's diagrams as direction. We had specimens different enough they might as well have been different species.

All they need to imagine is their experience with an Ikea kit.

i assume they're prepared to volunteer as the intubee.

Only a fool would do that. YouTube would be much more helpful.

Lack of respect for the craft of things is one of the best indicators i know of an immature or uncurious approach

If nothing else, people VERY much underestimate how hard it is to convince your hand to cut through a human body, let alone do it with swiftness/sureness. It’s very common for ppl to get nauseous watching me give myself a shot in the thigh, the average person is absolutely not prepared for SURGERY 🙄
