You can only change static variables in a static method because the static variable does not need an instance to exist. When invoked the static method is often (should) be called with the name of the class. There is no instance to use, therefore instance variables are not available. An instance, or non-static method, can change both instance methods and static methods. This is because they are invoked with an implied object. So changing an instance variable in the instance method affects the object that called the method.

Nice concise video. NIT: you misspelled "Patients" as "Paitents" in your console/stdout message (4:29).

I’m still not quite understanding static methods because why are you allowed to change values with static methods but when I try to change values with a static method in another method it won’t work
