This Wouldn’t Fly in a Real Operating Room

Doctors are typically equipped with extensive knowledge about the human body, making them experts. So, it’s rather puzzling how Dr. Strange and Dr. Palmer seemingly overlooked a fundamental aspect of their profession – wearing surgical masks – while performing brain surgery in the superhero blockbuster Doctor Strange, released in 2016.
Surgical masks are an absolute necessity in any operating room, serving a crucial role in maintaining a sterile environment and protecting both patients and medical personnel. While it’s possible that the absence of surgical masks was an aesthetic choice driven by the desire for more expressive on-screen performances, it leaves viewers wondering if someone on the production team missed the memo on operating room protocol.
