Like the scene I read with the woman dying in childbirth. The doctor decided to mix up a 10% lye wash. This was actually in my writer's group, and I still got a big "ooog..." and "wouldn't that kill her?" Had to explain that yes, it might, but it was, in fact, what people at my character's level of medical development would use. Cring-worthy? Oh, yes. Accurate? Oh, yes.
Speaking of the above, it may end up on the cutting-room floor anyway. The WIP looks to be heading for 150,000, so some scenes may have to get cut. The whole thing is done to move a character, but it might have to be shortened to, "She moved to _____ after _________ died."
