@@GrandAngel8000 It's a very easy attitude for the Lord of the Manor to have, yes. And there's even a kernel of truth to it. But Grantham might feel differently if he had to spend his golden years mucking barns and cleaning grease traps before dying poor and sick.

@NiceTryLaoChe He'll never have to know. ESPECIALLY relevant is how he never actually went to war, even if the character claimed to want to. As honorable as the claim is ... the fact of the matter is his wealth and status kept him away from the war.

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).

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.

Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 thanks for the presentation always enjoy downton abbey and their segments of scenes, but when it comes to the early days of science and medical advances I'm all attracted to the screen it's absolutely fascinating even though it's before world War 1 or after its all an important part of history

“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.

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

@markmh835 2 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 20 күн 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.
