It says in the trivia that this nurse actually did the same thing for the REAL Captain Phillips after his ordeal.
The nurse is not an actress. She is a real nurse, who was directed to ask the questions she would normally ask with any patient in that situation. That's why she seemed so real, because she was a real nurse. -

Yes! I found her irritating, especially the emotionless drone of her voice, like a robot, following procedure, not a hint of compassion in her voice. It was obvious it was not an actor. It's terrible to think this is actually how they do their job, that there's nothing comforting about their tone, only pure military coldness. Wouldn't make anyone feel good to be alive, frankly.

You're more afraid of someone who would treat your wounds than someone who inflicts the wounds? Wow.

If I was hurt and had a choice between equally competent health care professionals and one was distant and to the point and the other was warm and sympatheticI honestly can't say which I'd prefer. I have been badly hurt and in the emergency room and while I wanted sympathy, I think I would have completely broken down if I'd gotten it. And that might not have been in my best interests, as hysteria on top of internal injuries and broken bones is not helpful.

What's with all the negative talk about a female Navy Corpsman doing her job methodically. Her first couple of tasks is to reassure Captain Phillips so he does not go further into shock by reassuring him several times that he is now safe using a calm manner and tone.
So her asking simple questions like "Do you know what's going on" is to tell how lucid he is. Also important is to tell whether the amount of blood on him is from the pirate head shots and/or Phillip's lacerations. I could tell from the first viewing that she wasn't an actress.

You're totally right. It would have been more appropriate for her to be more concerned about not being irritating. But instead, she was more concerned about quickly finding any life-threatening injuries (bullet or knife wounds) her patient might be too far in shock to tell her about. What was she thinking?

no way.
That scene is one of the most realistic ever filmed, her focus, and professionalism, was incredible. Thank God, there are woman and men like that, in this world, who don't flinch at the horror, or blood, or the situation, they just do they're job and help others. -

Initially I was a little annoyed with the dry, disconnected tone but as she continued on I realized the effect it was having on him. He was pretty out of it but it was her direct and continuous questioning that brought him back. Thus leading up to what was, in my mind, the best moment of the film.
Back off!
Way off! -

She's a professional Navy medic. She was told to do her job as she normally would do it. YOU may find a medic tending to a wounded man annoying. I found it moving. She was very good-she was able to assess Phillips and reassure him at the same time.

its pretty pointless asking questions like where is the blood from.
You actually think it's pointless to ask where all the blood is from? Wow. The man is covered in blood, and the only injuries she sees are on his eyebrow and temple. She needs to know if there are other injuries causing all this blood. That's about as far from pointless as you can get.

I love all you armchair "experts" who think you know everything about everything and how people should act in all situations. All based on your "experience" gleaned from a lifetime of watching TV and movies. I doubt you've ever been a military medic trained in battlefield trauma and triage, or been a hostage who was beaten, pistol whipped and faced death for days from desperate Somalian pirates with nothing to lose.
So, of course, you're completely qualified to dictate the appropriate questions the medic should be asking her patient. She should have consulted you first. -

Irritating, but realistic
.. I've unfortunately been on the wrong end of violent trauma, and got almost the exact same treatment, it almost took me back there. I think the real point of it was just to show what a toll it had taken on Phillips, but that he had managed to think clearly and sway the odds of his survival in his favor, despite his shock. -

I disagree. If I had been taken hostage and been beaten up by pirates that's exactly how I would have wanted to be treated. Her professionalism conveys the message that everything is going to be alright.
