The friendly face of the nursing status

Grandma Lotti is dead. She was 93 years old, and that many people know about her death is due to her nurse: Rashid Hamid. With him she became a star on Instagram and Tikok, even in national newspapers appeared on her because Rashid Hamid had repeatedly shared her time together on these platforms.
The secret of these videos and also their success is multi-layered: On the one hand, Grandma Lotti was a way of laughing through her Hanseatic-Direct, but also with her ability to have kept the laugh down to the highest age, the ideal projection surface for the way old people should be: it had charm, charism and little shame. And it belonged to a group of people who rarely meet in the current society outside the family: people over 90. She did not play this exotism, but served it.
On the other hand, it is also up to Rashid Hamid that Grandma Lotti’s fate caused so much interest: his work ethic is one that sees ideal care as an extension of interpersonal. That means being there for each other, or rather: being with each other. He is also not concerned with work-life balance: care is just life. It can be noted at every moment that he sees Grandma Lotti more as a friend than as a customer. That makes the whole wholesome.
Fewer Wholesome is the need to document this common path: the reason why Rashid Hamid was forced to document his approach to care was that the nursing service he founded had difficulty establishing itself on the market. This is the first lesson: Humanity must also be seen if you don’t want to go. But since society does not actively look at where its humanity is decreased, you have to issue it. Rashid Hamid did that.
It was very risky to do this: not only because possible mistakes and carelessness will immediately attract attention to a broad audience, also because care in this society has to be silent: At the beginning of the pandemic, several people from care pointed out grievances and – despite the blatant skilled worker – were warned or even fired. It would be unfair to reproach Rashid Hamid that he was apolitical. But that he is not political has favors his success. That is the second lesson.
Rashid Hamid is easy to find and Grandma Lotti is the replacement story that is needed to get out of the affair.
Detizing does not mean to deny that it is good that and how Rashid Hamid depicts care and thus upgrades; Ideal care should be like that. It goes without saying for him to pick up Grandma Lotti out of her apartment in the evening to go with her food. So you do it with friends. He does not separate between private life and work; There is no end of the day. This is part of the agreement in neoliberalism: unconditional interpersonality has news value, can be represented.
The fact that this symbiosis worked well was very prerequisite: at the same time, Grandma Lotti also had a certain tictok ability; To put it angry, she was still usable. In her dry way she was charming in a way that made it presentable. In one way it was actually easy to care for. If every age looks like this, you like to get old.
However, age only looks like Grandma Lotti in very few cases. It is also excluded that there will still be hundreds of grandma Lottis, so that people take part in foreign old people who appear in their stream: there is not so much space in the sky of the tictok stars. The banal reality is that more and more old people thirst in their apartment because they fell, can no longer get up and there are no capacities to look after them. This fact is not to be chalked in Rashid Hamid, but explains his success. Success is the emotion that he causes in people who are too exhausting to do care. Rashid Hamid is easy to find and Grandma Lotti is then the replacement act it takes to pull out of the affair.
It would be necessary to make a fundamental renovation of society in that every life- whether usable or not- is protecting and lovable. However, this attitude is not good for the attention striker. After her death it became known that Grandma Lotti had not had a grave, but would be buried anonymously: as if nothing had been. This may be the most suitable comment on your fame, which others now have to take care of.
