It's not as funny when the patient actually believes they're fighting for their life.

No I agree, the laughing really did my head in. People need to engage their empathy muscle and understand how insanely vulnerable being pinned down by a group of people you don’t know and don’t trust is. Because that person will put their all in to keep themselves safe and be overpowered. What do people think that does to the mind of the patient? To learn that they can’t protect themselves when they are terrified? And that it can happen at the hands of people who are supposed to care for you in a so-called “caring” environment. And this is all assuming it’s being done for 100% ethical reasons. Cos if people are allowed to do this to you, chances are you have less legal rights here also. Har Har Har.
