I may never need this advice, but I really enjoyed reading it. It's very interesting to see how experts operate.

I used to follow a blog that provided expert tips from various occupations. I lost track of it but some of them were insightful:

Nurse: Sometimes a patient will pretend to be asleep or unconscious to avoid taking medication. To check, hold their hand over their face and release. If they are awake, they will interrupt the fall.

Actor: To portray a drunk, don't stumble around. Instead, walk with exaggerated care and precision.
