He had fought in earlier colonial wars (as an officer, of course, with a batman to take care of him, but he would have led from the front as a junior officer).

Love the way lady Crawley was holding the man's wife. Great compassion

@daniels7907 Ай бұрын

The issue was that in the Dowager Countess's Victorian era understanding of medicine, there was nothing to be done in this situation but convince the wife to accept widowhood and destitution. Mrs. Crawley, the daughter, sister, and wife of physicians, as well as being a nurse herself, had more personal experience with the progress of medical science. Another case of the battle between "tradition" and "modernity". But also between the tendency to put members of the aristocracy into positions which were often meant to merely help them look busy and useful, rather than being based on genuine expertise.

i wondered what Maggie thought about a cat on the set, and i found out that she loves cats. The Dower house set is at Byfleet Manor, and i think the cat in the scene is a resident there, apparently there are several, along with many other animals.

“I wish it was a procedure I was more familiar with”, “will that serve as your excuse, when he dies?” In the modern world, this would be not an excuse but the reason a procedure wasn’t done. Unfamiliarity with a procedure may result in a more catastrophic event than not doing the procedure especially where the heart is involved. Of course, modern day communication doesn’t leave many Drs completely alone when attempting an unfamiliar procedure.

0:51 This story really made me uncomfortable and honestly siding with Dr. Clarkson. Although Mr. Drake’s prognosis was not good and it would have obviously been sad if he died, Isobel should not have pushed Dr. Clarkson to perform a procedure he was clearly uncomfortable with. To be honest, I think Isobel and Clarkson would’ve made a great match. Oh well!

Anybody else kept thinking "shut up, Violet!" when the doc and nurse were performing the procedure? Fs, lady, you have zero medical training. At least Isobel was a trained nurse, so she had credibility. But an overclass besserwisser? Hell no.

Can someone with Medical Knowledge please explain what exactly happened with that man? What were they doing? Pumping out of him?😨

@markmh835 6 ай бұрын

Fluid was accumulating in the sac/membrane around his heart. For most of us, it is reabsorbed and replaced. But sometimes it does not get reabsorbed and accumulates, putting pressure on the heart so that it does not pump efficiently. Eventually this will lead first to greater fatigue and weakness and eventual death. The standard treatment for over 100 years is to remove the excess fluid from around the heart by needle. This often/usually results in the heart stopping, so you inject adrenaline which stimulates the heart to start pumping again. In reality, an easy solution to a life-threatening condition.

@austinarnold4460 4 ай бұрын

You may have gotten the answer to this already, but there wasn't any tea in the little pot at first. That first bit of hot water was just to warm up the pot, that water was thrown out and it was now warm enough to brew tea in with fresh water... why this was all necessary I do not actually know, I don't think it makes much of a difference weather the pot was warm or not. It's just all part of the 'ceremony' of making tea.
