    But since you're going to use the interwebs to act superior, I'll provide evidence, because doing a search takes very little time.

    Oh sorry I was trying to poke fun at the idea that the old people on the top floor were being more frequently by paramedics (as opposed to the ones on the bottom who weren't). Survivorship bias might have been more correct to say.

    I just found the morbid image of a health worker confirming that their patients are healthy as funny (since the actual healthy patients potentially never get visited)
