Joko & Klaas dedicated the 15 minutes they won against ProSieben to an important topic: care.
The station was breaking new ground.
Munich - Joko Winterscheidt and Klaas Heufler-Umlauf won their first duel against ProSieben in 2021.
That means: 15 exclusive minutes at prime time on Wednesday evening.
The subject: care.
During the Corona * pandemic, it gained even more importance, as medical staff worked at the limit and beyond due to the sometimes overloaded intensive care units.
The aim was to draw attention to the important work of the nursing staff, to document the lack of recognition and the nursing emergency and to involve the audience.
It goes without saying that you shouldn't post experiences on social media using the hashtag #.
The hashtag trended to number one on Twitter after a short time.
The enthusiasm for the documentary was immediately huge.
Even competing broadcasters like Arte or RTL praised Prosieben.
Arte wrote: “What is happening at @ProSieben should be a piece of German TV history.
Chapeau "
Nursing emergency in Germany: ProSieben turns 15 minutes into a report
Right at the beginning of the show, Joko & Klaas announce a novelty: ProSieben * was brought on board.
The broadcaster granted the duo more than 15 minutes for this contribution and even refrained from advertising.
Then a quote is faded in: “We are taken for granted.
But we are not. "
Then someone films how he or she enters a clinic in the dark.
Shortly afterwards you can see a nurse at work.
The viewer is there up close, at the bedside, with the patients.
Without joke, but in complete seriousness.
The contribution by Joko & Klaas, which is like a report, shows the everyday life of the nursing staff.
Some have their say.
It quickly becomes clear that the 15 minutes are not only slightly longer, because the station shows the nurse's entire working day in one go.
All those who have their say in the documentary emphasize that their job and their patients are important to them.
However, a growing shortage of staff and the threat of nursing care troubled the clinics and thus also all the people who are dependent on them.
Joko & Klaas LIVE: The nurse names the dramatic overtime account of colleagues
“Nurses go home every day feeling like they have forgotten things.
With the fear of having made mistakes that have consequences.
Mistakes that are dangerous, ”reports one of the nurses.
Another nurse describes his job as a struggle: Due to a lack of staff, the patient cannot be given enough attention.
“It is always planned carefully,” says another person affected.
“I know colleagues who have over 300 hours of overtime.
As a result, carers burn out inside ”.
A geriatric nurse complains that old people's homes are primarily "about money" and "profit".
The financing system created incentives to save in the care system.
Joko & Klaas LIVE: Nurses demand more money
A nurse describes the current situation in German hospitals.
Even before Corona *, houses had reached their limits.
While the nursing staff was applauded at the beginning of the corona crisis, it became quite quiet afterwards.
In the end, all the nurses in the contribution agree: “The nursing profession must be better remunerated.” Both the burden of the job - some have seen Corona * patients die - and the responsibility would justify a higher salary.
Criticism of politics should not be missing either.
An announced corona bonus was not received by the carers.
