    This always bugs me on police dramas. On Chicago PD the characters are constantly on gunfights, get in and out of hospital almost everyday, get shot multiple times on back to back episodes, get beaten up, concussions, cuts, stab wounds, bullet wounds in all sort of places. Yet, every episode they’re fine and working the field, and clearing building like a fucking ad-hoc Swat team. Not a limp, no cronic pain, no painkiller addiction.

    In reality, the whole force would be on medical leave, on a desk job for disability or plain out of the force due to medical unfitness by the season’s midpoint. The cases would have to be finished by an entire new batch of officers every few episodes, including the captain.
