It just occurred to me...

...that I can't remember if the infirmary rooms have earth doors or not. Like, in my mind, they sectioned off rooms in the infirmary that have actual honest-to-goodness doors in them, not activated by the hand thingies (because if you're sick or injured and can't somehow get to those, having a door that's already wide open is a boon... plus putting myself in the shoes of a medical professional, the last thing I want to do is make it possible for doors to malfunction and someone die on the other side when I could have just turned a knob and gotten inside, you know?). But we've seen a lot of the infirmary, beds and the like, and while a lot of the heavy-duty stuff was done in 'labs' (like the exploding tumor surgery, Michael's transformations, Ronon's detox, etc.), there are scenes (such as in Echoes) where we see hospital beds and people are clearly in rooms. Can I make up an area of the infirmary where people who need to be there for longer than a few days are in rooms with real earth doors, or do I have to edit what I've already written to take out the 'door is half open,' 'he kicks the door shut' kinds of references?

Help me, Obi Wan Friends List, you're my only hope!

Hehe, this is a classic case of me thinking everyone's in my brain. I am a huge fan of Stargate Atlantis, and that's what I was referring to--I write fanfiction (peruse my tags with prudence!), and was working on something only to realize that I'd made a pretty big continuity/technical error in assuming the doors on the Atlantis base were 'earth doors,' rather than the kind most of the base has, which aren't like that at all. *blush*

OH! I was VERY confused. My hub watched that show for a bit, but I never could get into it. This makes much more sense now.
