Hydrogen peroxide

It's baffling that the writers didn't know that hydrogen peroxide doesn't burn when applied to wounds. That's why you'll find it in homes with young children. Rubbing alcohol is what they should've used. Otherwise pretty decent production.

I haven't seen this, but you're only partially right. Hydrogen peroxide doesn't burn like alcohol for minor cuts and scrapes, but if you have a significant wound, then it will, in fact, burn like hell.

What was the extent of the wound in question?

Very small scalpel incisions to stay awake. Very bad factual error.

Yes, you're absolutely right then.

Two guys walk into a bar. The first one says, "I'll just have some H2O." The second one says, "I'll have H2O too!"

The second guy dies.

(My favorite nerd chemistry joke)
