NIC - Hospital (2020s, United Kingdom)

Note: This page is a work in progress. I have not yet written the pages for Paul, Sheila, and Amy.
Hospital is a series of PIFs from the NIC which cover a wide variety of topics. For an unknown reason, these PIFs were broadcast in the outdated 4:3 ratio.
==Ethan==
Description: The PIF opens with a video of a person laughing hysterically, viewed from multiple angles. After about 30s of this, we finally get a wide shot, which reveals that the person is in a mental ward. Text then appears in the top-left, reading "I am Ethan. I have suffered permanent brain damage from breathing nitrous oxide. It's no laughing matter._", before cutting to black and showing a card with the NIC logo and a website.
FX/SFX: Live action, with an overlay to make the footage appear is if taken from CCTV.
Sounds: We only hear Ethan's laughter and a faint buzzing sound, presumably from the lighting.
Availability: Found on a few YouTube channels. Currently only available in low resolutions, although some channels have attempted to upscale it using AI.
Scare Factor: Medium. The unsettling nature of this PIF, combined with the lack of any music or dialogue, makes it an eerie watch.
==Alex==
Description: The PIF opens by showing a closeup of a persons eye. In the reflection, we see a pair of hands light a firework, which fails to go off. The reflection shows the person walk back over to the firework and pick it up, before it explodes in her hand. The camera zooms out slowly to reveal the person is lying in a hospital bed with her right arm wrapped in gauze. It is noticeably shorter than their left arm, suggesting her hand was completely blown off by the firework. Text then appears on screen, reading "I am Alex. On 5th November, I lost my right hand and my hearing. Take care when using fireworks._", before cutting to black and showing a similar card with the NIC logo and a website (but in an orange gradient, rather than white, as this PIF ran during Autumn).
FX/SFX: Live action, video composited over a still shot of a person's eye.
Sounds: We hear the sounds of the fireworks, a bonfire, the explosion, some worried shouts, and finally the beeping of the heart monitor.
Availability: Common. Present on the YouTube channels of most of the UK's regional fire departments.
Scare Factor: Medium. It's simply the explosion and the aftermath that make this scary. However, it's not graphic, so it's not high.
