I saw that video clip and it was just so . . . idk. It was like a flurry of conflicting emotions, super sad but also super happy. Awful but amazing. Beautiful but devastating. Like some real life miracle shit.

Also, my personal favorite is when the newbies write in the patient’s chart that the patient’s wound is “very pussy”. It never gets old watching them panic when we remind them to say “pus” and write “purulent”.

Idk about everyone else but as an American, I’ll just be sitting or laying down and all of a sudden I’m like “oh shit, my heart is racing and my chest/neck areas feel a bit weird. Yes something is indeed wrong . . . Welp, it’s gone for now and I’m not dead, no need to get in debt by asking a person with a medical degree what might be the issue with my crazy fast blood pumper.”

I do agree that these building are a giant pain in the butt but I don’t agree with anything else you said.
Now I’m in the USA, so obviously way different circumstances. But many of the older/protected/historically buildings here fall into this weird catch-22. You can purchase these buildings BUT there are so many rules about what you can and can’t not do is so extensive it becomes nearly impossible to renovate/remodel.
For example, not too far from me is this beautiful historical “mansion” that’s been up for sale for 30 years almost. Buyers come to check it out but once they find out what they can’t do they don’t think it’s worth it. I was able to go inside one time and the 1st and 2nd floor combined have about 15 of these teeny tiny little rooms. Which was normal 100+ years ago but not now. There just enough room for a small bed and that’s it.
Pretty much every buyer is like “no problem, we’ll just knock a few walls down to make bigger rooms” but they cant because it’s historically protected. No insulation, no ac/heating, no washer/dryer hookups and none of that can be added. So it just sits there, decade after decade, falling apart.
