Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

NHS super fast recoveries and discharges in soaps

She discharged herself like everyone else in Corrie.

I wonder how many people discharge themselves in real life compared to the 100% of people who do in Corrie?

I think there ought to be a new law on the statute book. Being Leanne. Punishable by life imprisonment.

was it a shock crash or deliberately?

Didn't look deliberate, but for such a discussion they should have got out of the car or waited until they got home.

I did like that the police effectively ignored loudmouth Leanne in the hospital. She should have told her to sod off and quit interfering.

One thing though, Kevin getting questioned and the policeman saying he didn't believe Kevin and thought he doctored the brakes. One thing wrong there, its up to the police to prove that, unless the whole Innocent until proven guilty thing is not applicable on Corrie.

Think the scriptwriters watch too much Line of Duty or Frost where the police can be aggressive at interviews...

I appreciate that they can't perform proper CPR on an actor so why do they not just show somebody doing pretend compressions without actually showing the chest of the victim? The way they showed Imran getting CPR treatment can give the impression that a gentle push on the chest is all you need to do rather than proper hard compressions where sometimes ribs are broken in the process...

Watched an interview with a doctor talking about CPR, and indeed, it can cause severe bruising and break ribs. They made the point that it is not as gentle as is portrayed on TV. If the patient is revived they will feel like they have had a severe beating.

Really do not think the police carry out interviews like this anymore, especially not before they examine the car. Normally police will interview in pairs, but not in this case. Kevin was not under caution nor was he told he could have a solicitor. Surprized he was not hit on the side of the head with a copy of the Yellow Pages. Any admission would not be admissible, so what was the point of all this aggression. I thought for a minute I was watching an episode of "The Sweeney or Life on Mars".

In reality he should be making a complaint about his treatment, but this being Corrie he probably won't.

Any reason why they didn't use a defibrillator ?

I haven't had a notification since May 27th. I had an old link so I thought I would check & found that there were 4 pages of comments! I wonder what causes this? 😞
