Ok, so let me get this straight, the assistants are wearing full body heavy PPE, overalls, respirators and gloves, though the overalls and gloves are not connected together, nor are the assistants wearing any eye protection?

And the doctor injecting the patient doesn't even wear gloves?

The pipette really takes the cake. Like what the fuck, have you never seen a syringe?

I'm not sure a syringe would be allowed during filming such scenes. Maybe they don't have the budget for a fake syringe prop.

You don't have to put a needle on it, and there are non-sharp needles too.

I'll just let you know right now that there isn't such a thing as a "safe narrow bit of metal" when you're jabbing down at a flailing arm, even in acting.
