Theory:Torchwood television discontinuity and plot holes/From Out of the Rain: Difference between revisions

::A pulse is a physical movement of the body. It isn't the same sort of "feel". It's no different than Owen feeling a doorknob turn in his hand. In [[TWN]]: ''[[Pack Animals]]'', which takes place prior to [[TW]]: ''[[Something Borrowed]]'' as the first medic on the scene of a bus crash, he must direct uninjured passengers to check pulses for him because he cannot feel them himself. Yet when he enters the wrecked bus by walking on the side of the overturned vehicle, he can "sense" the metal panel flexing beneath his weight. Perhaps there is some kind of learning curve while he gets accustomed to functioning in a dead body and by this episode he has learned to recognize the movement of a pulse.
