You know what really bothers me the most about Don's ordeal?

He had his back broken (a turtle's spine is fused into the carapace) and he was stabilized while prone on his plastron and what's the first thing Splinter does? Flip him over!! No wonder he lost a lot of blood, his father was killing him faster!! Then his brothers exacerbate the situation by moving in what position? Semi-supine, instead of prone.

Aside from that, you had Honeycutt and Harold present - both doctors - and neither bothered to make the others aware how badly they were handling Don. It doesn't matter if they aren't physicians, they would have a rudimentary understanding at least.

I'm glad IDW didn't go full-out Image and show Don as a skeleton, and it would be cool to see them briefly explore a "RoboCop" situation where it appears Don is "deleted" and regains sentience, yet I felt compelled to express my thoughts regarding the mishandling of his critical condition.
