what's up with the nurse?

When Mr. Sawyer is in the nurse's office after being hit by Kris the nurse keeps changing the cold cloth on his head about every 10 seconds! Why? I was cracking up watching her. Isn't 10 MINUTES the average time to change cold cloths? She doesn't give them time to even begin to reduce the swelling, pointless! It's hilarious!

Yes, I noticed that too! Maybe it was just to create some visual interest in the scene.

Maybe it was just to give the actress something to do...probably her own doing. She most likely didn't receive any direction from the director.... : D : D : D
