friend! back in the ds9 days you talked about a trope where a doctor had to talk a non-doctor/medic through a medical treatment in a critical situation? and i was wondering if you have any recs for that trope? love x

Well first up I can say I have NOT ENOUGH injured doctors having to talk someone else through treating them [edited to clarify!], but will do my utmost to share as much of this deliciously intense situaysh that I can!!

Number 1: definitely Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) dir. Peter Weir, 10/10, they're boy best friends, there's a little mirror someone has to hold up and EVERYTHING. I am also 100% positive this happens in one of the original Aubreyad novels too but have no clue which one at the moment, truly could be any of them [edit: O'Brian buds are saying this is HMS Surprise, typical behavior of that book so I believe it]

Secondly: Saving Private Ryan (1998) dir. Steven Spielberg, warning that like much of that movie it is BRUTAL, oh my god, oh my god! But is also exactly this, for all that is....I'll just tell you it's not sunny for this poor little guy :(

This is a twist on this but is a moment so high-key insane to me that when it happened in the theater I genuinely punched the arm of my platonic date: Crimson Peak (2015) dir. Guillermo del Toro. Good odds you may have already seen this & if so you already know, if not will say the twist is Danger Cahoots, another primo trope imo

And lastly, this is also not precisely this but I think may appeal if this is a vibe you are into: you might quite like Doc Holliday in My Darling Clementine (1946) dir. John Ford. He is a surgeon, he is also suffering from tuberculous, he can casually quote Shakespeare, and you learn all these facts after the top level fact of him being a powerful dangerous bank robber and the ostensible antagonist to our protagonist, reluctant new sheriff Henry Fonda, but guess what: they get along. Very very interesting & rewarding dynamic, good shit 100 emoji etc

I am certainly forgetting others so very much hope this becomes a meeting point for other enjoyers of this who can share more!
