Even your own bone marrow from a broken bone can make you seriously ill. It's called Fat Embolism Syndrome. A severe case presents as acute cor pulmonale, respiratory failure. This may lead to death within a few hours of injury.

If you have the bone marrow from someone else injected into you, the body's rejection of the foreign matter would exacerbate the symptoms.

The only real liberty the show took with reality was that, when the wounds were cleaned, pieces of bone would have been noted - the rest of it was pretty spot on. Oh...nevermind then. :D
