Medically and Surgically Inaccurate parts of Money Heist

Hello hive, 3 speak, and stemsocial. I'm Dr. Ebingo and I want to highlight some parts of the Money Heist series (particularly season 5) that had some inaccuracies.
The first one
I talk about is the fact that the professor was able to tell that the investigator Alicia who was in the active phase of labor was presenting in breach (that is when a baby is coming out of the birth canal with its buttocks).
In the situation, the professor was in there was no way he could tell with his hands tied behind his back in a dark room.
In a normal obstetric setting, he would have to inspect the vagina during a vaginal examination, feel the abdomen of the woman and listen to the position of the child's heart in relation to the woman's abdomen to suspect it was a breech presentation and finally to confirm that suspicion he'd have to do an ultrasound scan.
The second inaccurate part
This was in a particular scene where one of those soldiers who tried to sabotage the heist was moving through the vent to accomplish her new mission...to be a surprise attacker.
When she landed out of the vent she carries a large volume of blood from her bleeding abdomen that drops to her shoe. That drop rate gave off the rate of active bleeding that was taking place and from an injury, she sustained a day ago...she should have been dead by the morning at that rate.
But she goes off and still accomplished that mission that made us sad.
the third one
This is one that is a theme in the whole series that just appears to be flawed. On later thought, however, I can see why the scriptwriters didn't see the need to fix this one.
It is the fact that the professor gets shot in the foot and no medical intervention is done for him all through the series.
Then again he is the Professor and he can spot diagnose breech presentation. LOL
