The hospital scene....... WHAT??!
OK, I know it's not madly important to the plot, but it drives me crazy everytime I watch this film.
At the beginning, after Liz is picked up, there's a very short scene where she's lying on a bed in a white surgical gown - 2 nurses come in, one spreads Liz's legs, and the other tries to insert this sort of thick, see-through cylindrical tube inside her. So my questions (for the medically experienced among you) are:
1) Why does Liz immediately shrink into a ball, mewling and squeaking like a scared cat? Is it some kind of trauma thing?
2) What on earth was that tube supposed to do? Seriously, if anyone can explain the procedure, or what it's testing for, i'd be grateful - instead of getting bugged everytime I watch the film!
Cheers!
