No shit.

You shouldn't take health tips from fiction. You shouldn't take history tips from fiction. You shouldn't take physics tips from fiction. You shouldn't take art tips from fiction. You shouldn't take ANY tips from fiction unless the tips can be backed up by research in real life.

Fiction is not real life. Fiction is not real life. Fiction is not real life. FICTION IS NOT REAL LIFE.

The vast majority of depictions of mental illness I've seen in fiction have been woefully inaccurate. (I think one of the worst offenders is that show where the main character solves crimes because he's schizophrenic or something.)

(On a more positive note, your post made me laugh, OP, so thanks for that!)

You mean Monk? He's OCD.

I think they mean TNT's new-ish series, Perception.

[(Anonymous)]

No Perception, Eric McCormack's new show.

yup, I`m an idiot XD

Not an idiot per se... you know better now and that's what matters. Get better!

yeah, it was a big surprise)

I didn`t read fiction for health clues.
It`s just the only thing where it was mentioned.
Before I didn`t have a reason to google panic attacks.

a-fucking-men. As a first responder I see so many laughably basic health-related mistakes, and I'm barely certified to do anything but throw some oxygen on to tide a person over until paramedics arrive.

(Hypothermia fics are the best for this, but depictions of CPR come in close second.)

Even when it's clear the author tried to research there are some things that are hard to grasp realistically if you haven't witnessed it. The first time I saw someone breathing over 30 BPM was definitely not how I'd imagined it, as well as my first case of anaphylaxis.

You also shouldn't take tips from internet anons on what you should take tips on.

You shouldn't take health tips from fiction

Not just fiction, FANfiction. Yeah, not the best.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly, I have to agree about fiction in general. Half the shit they show on medical dramas is horribly inaccurate at best.

[sensualcoco.livejournal.com]

well idk you might be able to take art tips from fiction because fiction itself is a work of art.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not going to take art tips from fiction because fiction say its a good tip. If I really want to try something out, I'll look into it and see what's the best way to use the tip. Like, I'm not so stupid as to ruin my watercolor painting just because some story said using gouache is a legitimate way to lighten darks and the gouache ended up messing with my color template.

funny story though - thanks to a Kradam fanfic by bexless, wherein Adam is a movie star whose car breaks down and Kris helps him, I knew how to stop my car engine from over-heating and was able to get home safely.

my dad was like, "wow, how did you know what to do?" :D

i mean, otherwise i would have just googled it and gotten the same answer.

but still.
