Scene: A man, on the 7th morning after heart surgery, rests in bed. He is experiencing obvious pain and sadness. Beside him is his partner, caring for him.

“Are you thirsty?”
“Yes, very.”
“Then why didn’t you ask me to bring you something to drink?”
“I hate myself right now.”
“I don’t like to hear that!”
“Being weak and dependent is very hard for me.”
“But what if the situation was reversed? If I asked for water, what would you do?”
Man begins crying.
“I would bring you a river.”
“See?”

Relatedly, I was talking with a doctor at the German Heart Center this week about how good (well trained, compassionate) the individual doctors and nurses in the German healthcare sector are, but also how terrible all the bureaucracy is. She basically said: “Good people trapped in a bad system? That’s Germany…”

Also relatedly, almost all of my nurses were either Germans of Turkish background or foreign born (everything from Swiss German to Brazilians), the head of physical therapy was a gay Italian who spoke German so badly we often talked a mix of English and Italian, one of my doctors was a Dos Santos from Argentina. One question I carried away from this experience is: have any of those “Ausländer Raus” AFD types ever been inside a German hospital?

That's why the story about the Hospitals in County, Thuringia is so interesting.
Landrat (head of county) complains about high wages of the doctors.

Who the hell from German origin goes there unless you pay loads of money. And foreigner just don't want or want even more money.
