Tablet in Michael's Arm

Jenzy · 12-31-2006, 01:52 AM

The last few days since i watched this ep.., ep 13 i think..
Ive been trying to think how the hell did Michael get that pill/tablet into his arm.(that was for Lincoln, so he would throw up) I mean if he cut arm open and put it in and waited for the wound to heal.. he would still have a scar.
I cant think of any other way of how he could have put it in there, anyone.. got any ideas?

I think he must have cut his arm open, inserted the pill and waited for the wound to heal, After that,the scar might have been covered by the tattoo.
There might have been another way: There are special syringe-like thingies with which smaller objects like the pill can be implanted under the skin. But I think for something like that Mike would have to see a doctor who then does this procedure and that seems a bit unlikely to me.

Yeah, you have a good point.

Oh yeah the tattoo, of course that would have covered the scar, it would be the only possibly explanation without alerting suspicion.
I gotta admit, that is very smart

I think that the pill was WAY too big for that type of procedure. What I always thought is, why didn't he just hide it in his jacket with the rope and tape recorder and stuff? Not a lot of pain in that.

Okay if this helps. There are things you can do, example: implants. If anyone is familiar with piercings, you can have steel implants inserted beneath your skin, a couple layers since I believe there is about 11 layers of the dermis, maybe a little more. And when things are cut with a scapel, the cut is cleaner, and since the charcoal pill was pretty small, the scar would heal pretty easily and sometimes even invisibly. But this is TV and apparently the plot required it.

Tattooing over a scar is harder than untouched flesh and most times looks slightly different because the skin has had to heal over and has a different texture, also to tattoo over the skin with the pill in place would probably damage the pill it self as it would get hit by the needles. Anyway a small scar would'nt attract attention mixed in with all the tattoo art. My 0.02 cents

What was that pill anyway? I felt sorry for Linc to have go though that stomach pain not able to get out.

True it's bad to suffer like that and not escape, but ''desperate times call for desperate measures''
