>>Because you have to go through the bedroom to get there, which is awkward. <<
I'm thinking more 'can be converted to a long-term infirmary': Grandma broke her hip, or quarantining kids with chicken pox from kids without, etc. I know that a separate bathroom can be very convenient when caring for someone who has mobility issues, needs a lot of medical equipment, shouldn't be around other people and so on...
I'm pretty sure a sufficiently large family would occasionally have contagious illnesses or long-term injury that might warrant the possibility of a more specialized area...
Brief patchups would usually do better in a kitchen or common bathroom.
>>Good idea! You should write that, you'd be good at it.<<
Thanks! Encouragement is nice!
Further food for thought: -Why does nobody ever seem to have a heart attack, anxiety episode, or broken bone when being kidnapped by the Evil Overlord? -Evil conquerors ask about kings and weapons, not about cultural dietary restrictions or what kind of toilet people know how to use...which causes interesting problems. ("Okay, what do we do with 100 pounds of opened canned fish?")
>>Better training would include how to tell if a fire is small enough to fight, how to do that, and when to retreat.<<
My rule of thumb is 'If the fire is bigger than you, run!' Of course, even if it is smaller, you should be yelling for everyone who /isn't/ fighting the fire to GTFO and call 911.
And we need a better way to deal with 'All my stuff [including ID] got burned in a fire.'
