Mmmyep.

Not only does the staying-in-the-past protagonist not already rely on modern medical care, we're supposed to take for granted that she will never need modern medical care. It would make the ending awfully unhappy if you imagine her dying horribly from an infected cut, or a heart attack, or a bad tooth, or appendicitis...so you're supposed to assume there's no way any of that can happen.

It's all tied up with this cultural assumption that the natural state of society is to provide everything a Good Person needs. And so, unmanageably bad medical situations -- whether it's an acute crisis, or a chronic health issue, or whatever -- can only happen to Bad People who somehow deserve it.

The weird thing to me is that my one friend who is most into this show is a disabled friend who has a chronic illness that requires modern medicine and still makes even modern life difficult for her to manage. I'm never going to have this conversation with her. Not going to ruin her fantasy. But I just don't get it myself.
