Marvel spent $165 million to film Doctor Strange, but NOT ONE PERSON could take 10 seconds to Google search that 'C7-C8 spinal cord injuries' aren't a thing?

I work in surgery. There are so many surgical faux paus in this movie that it'd shut down a hospital immediately and swiftly. But there is one thing that they should've nailed from the start.

Doctor Strange seeks out a guy who was paralyzed from a 'C7-C8' spinal cord injury, but got healed by monks. Except that, anyone that's ever taken an anatomy class will tell you that there is no C8. You have 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, and 5 lumbar vertebrae.

What the fuck, Marvel? This is a movie about a neurosurgeon with the entire opening scene dedicated to doing craniotomies, complete with actual instruments used in the OR (Medtronic Stealth navigation, an oddly-placed C-arm, and a Midas Rex drill), but you can't figure out how many vertebrae there are?!

I rate this movie 7/8.
