yeah rush was probably just angry about how they were going to get it out being a crude surgery set up. Its alien venom so maybe rush, being rush, needed extra venom to put him out.
also, what about the blue aliens' limbs - elbow/knee down - they seem shaped like our bones [radius/ulna, tibia/fibula], but w/space between them - just found that odd anatomy [alien, sure].....Its what I do!

After todays re-watch of the episode:
I would have been happier if they fibulated Rush instead of that whole cut him open ****.
a big ZAP ZAP...
Could have also created more tension,
rush: "Are you crazy! why dont you just have the guts to shoot me!"
Young: Punchs Rush out and they fibulate him...

I think y'all are forgetting that they used alien venom as the antibiotic and anaesthetic. Alien stuff... It's like magic.
Of course, one alien venom-derived medicine from one planet working against a bug from another planet is pretty much the same scenario as Earth drugs working against something from Abydos, but still...sigpic
More fun @ Spoofgate!

The mechanism of these AB relies even more on "destroying" (to put it simply) a key part, or function, that makes an organism a bacteria. Or even that makes an organism a pathogen for humans. While you have a point, it should be nuanced.

Also the aliens only have 1 stone that they got from Rush so they could have used 2 stones, and one would reach earth.
and finally.. he woke up but I doubt he was completely consious.. he seemed delerious and completely out of it..
I do agree with the whole sterile aspect of it.. they really could have minimized that... but on the flip side it was laparoscopic.. it wasn't so much a gaping hole as it was a small hole and laparoscopic surgery would have reduced the chances of infection considerable, plus the ships life support systems probably have some sort of air filter built into them to limit the microbes in the air, if they had sterilized all the equipment, gloves, hands and everything they used theres a good chance that he'd be fine...I dunno what to put in here now..
