As a nurse who has treated patients who have...stupid beliefs, yeah. In Finland, JW kids are taken into temporary CPS custody during their hospital stay if their medical condition requires blood transfusions. I don't treat kids which I'm just happy about. And there was this documentary a while ago about a kid with terminal cancer whose parents taught them that them dying was predestined and god's will and all that shit. It was infuriating to watch and absolutely heartbreaking to listen to that brainwashed little kid talk how they're meant to die young and the pain is for the glory of god.

(However, stomping over the patient's will isn't right either. I'm not saying that's what happens here or what usually happens with kids, but that's also something I've seen at my line of work: doctors deciding what the patients want even thought the patient clearly states their mind. Treating by force is a terrible, terrible thing. Which is a completely different thing that happens here.)

I enjoyed Ivanova getting some badass action for a change.
