Hm… How else do I explain this… another way of translating ~なら is ‘if ~’ i.e. ‘if ~ is true’. Also, どうせ comes from どう and せよ, which is the written imperative of する, and is often used for hypothetical things, like いずれにせよ (roughly ‘whichever (one) choses’, from the structure ‘~にする’, which means ‘to ch…

A section in the first message of the home thread would be a good place for that I think (grammar points are independent of the episodes).

34. @Zizka (you did 35 actually, not 34) 医療側の都合で治療をやめるのは間違いだ… ▶ *stopping a medical treatment due to medical staff circumstances is an error...*

41. お願いします‼︎ 金子さん『の』延命処置『を』再開けさせて下さい‼︎ :speech_balloon:Please, resume (old man’s name)’s life prolonging measures again! I didn’t look up anything for this one. It was all vocabulary I had seen before except for 再 which I knew from Chinese.
