"extra 3" is a play on words. The German word for "three" is "drei", which is pronounced like the English word "dry" (except for the German R). So the name of the TV show is pronounced "extra dry". The three originates from the show being produced and broadcast by the third national TV channel (there is "the first" ARD, "the second" ZDF and "the third" or rather "the thirds" because the latter is split into different regional sub channels, broadcasting partly shared, partly regional content).

Straßenbegleitgrün is one of those very technical German words that I doubt you'll find in a dictionary. It is a combation of Straße (street), begleiten (to accompany) and Grün (lit. the color green, but can also refer to plants/vegetation in general).

To answer your doctor question: Regular family doctors doing home visits does still happen sometimes, like when someone is elderly, but it's become rare.

If it is a real urgent emergency the Notarzt will also come, but then they will be acompanied by an ambulance.

Extra 3 refers to the TV show. The translation of extra would be a special broadcast (TV special) and the number 3 implies the relation to the 3rd channel of NDR or North German Broadcast. Back in day we had only a few public channels. The 3rd channels were a group of regional broadcast stations that shared frequences. They joke around with in-show fake newscasts titled extra 3 extra (theme/topic) extra = [extra 3 as name] special [topic] news special. Topics are hilarious like swatting terrorists but the terrorists are a man eating an expired dairy product or a school girl going early to school.

[@emerald_island14]

The name "Extra 3" is an allusion (I hope it's the right word 😅) to the TV channels. In Germany, the biggest channels are named ARD (also known as "The first"), ZDF (also known as "The second"), and NDR (also known as "The third"). In the old days, we only had these three channels. Most of the people watched ARD and ZDF, and so the creator of the show decided to choose a name, which shows that it's a show you can only watch at the third channel. It's extra for Channel three ^^ Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

About the "missing" subtitles. As this TV show is made by a public channel, it needs to be accessible to the deaf, therefore the original show is broadcast with (optional) subtitles made by the company which describe everything that you would miss if you were deaf. So, those do not include any information that can be read on screen (as the deaf can read that as well), also they sometimes change long sentences to shorter ones with same meaning to better fit on screen. KZbin gets those same subtitles for translation. So translating the screen text (and maybe also the video titles) with your translator is your way to go :) By the way, the title translates to "The caged lady in the city of Bielefeld" :)

Normal doctors do house visits for immobile people, but it is not common for every patient. If people have life-threatening or serious injuries or are worried about their lives because of their complaints, they should always call the emergency medical services (ambulance). If patients do not have life-threatening complaints, but also cannot wait until the next consultation, they should contact the medical on-call service. These are doctors that drive home to you and check on you when normal doctors are closed like weekends or night. I had to call an on-call-doctor, when I was sick at the weekend and needed doctors help. The normal insurance covers this, no problem.

In Germany if you feel so ill that you cannot go to the doctor, you can have a doctor come to your home. It doesn't cost extra, it's covered by health insurance. When my mother had lumbago, we used it. The doctor write you a sick leave and then sends the sick note to the company that the sick person works for. So age doesn't matter

TL;DR: More weirdo stuff from authorities in a village in East Frisia. The satire show comes from the TV station NDR, translated: North German Broadcasting. Bureaucracy is batty everywhere. My father unintentionally caused trouble last year: In the village, there was a wide strip of grass by the kindergarten where the grass grew very high and it was absolutely not maintained. His dog got ticks there all the time last summer. He complained to the Protestant church (operator of the kindergarten) and they said that the land belongs to the municipality and not to the church. My father asked the municipal administration and they said that the property belongs to the church. Both contacted each other and in the background were brought in for clarification: The building authority, the district administration, some office concerning real estate management of the church in Lower Saxony, the pastor, the kindergarten management. Finally, even a surveying company, because somehow in the construction plans the exact boundaries were not properly recorded. A surveyor remeasured the area and then it was determined that the fence of the Protestant church or the kindergarten "illegally" stands on municipal property. However, it was left as it was, because further back in the village the kindergarten was newly built and the land will be sold back to the municipality in the course of the year. SO THIS WAS TOTAL NONSENSE, because the municipality will be responsible soon for the whole property anyway!! I call this procedure "occupational therapy for civil servants in order to throw taxpayers' money meaninglessly out of the window". My father was informed of this by mail as part of his complaint, he knew the clerk and he told the whole story. In the end, the green strip was declared a community property and mowed (or rather: the wild growth was cleared).

I would love it if you'd react to Realer Irrsinn in Bad Bentheim😅 It is called "zu hoher Bahnsteig in Bad Bentheim". Greetings from Germany:)
