the blatant lack of safety protocols is alarming

[marcicat]

Okay, I have ALSO now watched (parts of) X-Men: Dark Phoenix (thanks, starandrea!), and I am ALARMED at their lack of post-mission safety checks. EVERYONE should get a post-mission medical* check**, right?

(*PS: I do not think Hank is that kind of doctor.)

(**PPS: I did laugh that a genetic scan is part of the 'basic' checkup. LOL he probably IS that kind of doctor by that point in movie canon.)

(haven't they ever read comics before? going into space and coming back is a CLASSIC way to wind up with an alien passenger, an alien symbiote, exposure to unknown space radiation, etc, etc, etc)

(STORY TIME: Many years ago, I wound up in the hospital. I was asked again and again if I'd hit my head. Every time I said "no, I didn't hit my head; my head is fine." I had no memory of hitting my head! I was SURE I hadn't hit my head! It wasn't until DAYS LATER, and I was trying to figure out why brushing my hair hurt, that I realized I had a pretty large bump on my head. I DEFINITELY HIT MY HEAD. The shock of the entire experience meant I didn't remember hitting my head, and it genuinely felt fine when they asked (thanks, adrenaline). Luckily I was not in space, so no aliens or space radiation.)

ANYWAY the point is that I am fully supportive of believing people when they say they're fine, but also sometimes they have no idea what they're talking about.

I can't remember if you were under the roof or on the roof when it collapsed, but even without that obviously alarming context, I am so baffled that you had broken bones and they didn't bother to so much as check for bruising anywhere else on your body!!
