1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: I've been really lucky in that I haven't seen the

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: inside of a hospital for some time. Right, Me and

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: my family thankfully have been really fit and healthy and well,

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: which you know certainly don't take for granted. But the

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: other day I was quite struck because I had to

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: go and visit my beautiful grandmother, who is ninety four

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: years of age.

8
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: She's Nikon.

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: She is Elva Priscilla Stanaway.

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: What a name. Priscilla, what a coin.

11
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: She's the matriarch of the Stanaway family, and she's just

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: she's just a beautiful person. This is my dad's, Yeah,

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: my dad's what's your relationship with a lote?

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: Oh?

15
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: I mean she she's been a constant in my life,

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: you know, one of the biggest supporters. Always got up

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: early to watch the Today Show. Hadn't got a you know,

18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: to listen to the radio just yet. But we're working

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: on it.

20
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 2: Well, I remember when you took a few days off.

21
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: I think we're away and worked trip. Me went on

22
00:00:58,480 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: the Today Show and she was so worried.

23
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right.

24
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: Clinton was her first.

25
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, she knows television well.

26
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: And I also remember you so probably coming into work

27
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: one day going I went and visited Nan yesterday in

28
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: the nursing home and I smuggled in the cheese so excited.

29
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: Well, she hasn't been very well. She she had a

30
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: she had a fall and at that age it's it's

31
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: it can be quite bad. She was in a lot

32
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: of pain. She she fractured her shoulder, her arm and

33
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: her wrist and also her pelvis, so that required her

34
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: to be taken to hospital. So I went into hospital

35
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: with my dad and my brother and I was just

36
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: I was I was struck. A public hospital. I don't

37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,279
Speaker 1: mind saying which one. It was, Monash Hospital outing Clayton.

38
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: They do a great job, right, but it was just

39
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: it was quite overwhelming. And I wasn't even a patient

40
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: because in the in the corridors, there were trolleys, there

41
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: were paramedics sitting with patients, there were families sitting with patients.

42
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: In immerg Agency. It was just busy. It was you know,

43
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: you could tell the nurses, the doctors, the staff were overwhelmed.

44
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: And when I got into the into the room through

45
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: the corridors, I got to my Nan. You know, she's

46
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: sitting there. She's in a lot of pain and clearly

47
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: quite affected after what has been you know, quite an episode,

48
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: but the care she received in that moment by the nurses,

49
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: the doctors in the public hospital system was nothing short

50
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: of magnificent. These are people who are working pulling, you know,

51
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: not just a normal eight hour shift. They are work

52
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: in ten twelve hours. They are caring for what appears

53
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: to be an endless congoline of patients. And I just

54
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: wanted to take a minute this morning just to say

55
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: thank you to those healthcare workers because jeez, they do

56
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: it tough, and they do it tough in the public

57
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: system as well. And in an election year, I would

58
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: hope that healthcare and hospital is again made to be

59
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: a priority because what I saw in that hospital were people,

60
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: good people, working long hours, tired, looking after you know,

61
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: our sick and most vulnerable and strangers. They're looking yea

62
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: and just not getting the portits that they deserve.

63
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: Well, that's exactly right. And our healthcare workers a don't

64
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: get the love and support they should, and they often

65
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: get a really hard time in those hospitals as well,

66
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: and they're just running on empty and doing their very

67
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 2: very best. So you're right, Clint, it's great to give

68
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: them a shout out. You are the real heroes of that.

69
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and again just in an election year. You know,

70
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: this state has a lot of challenges, but I think

71
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: healthcare has to be light up there. She's she's okay,

72
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: she's like, look she's battling, but she's she's. Let's hope

73
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: that slowly but surely she she comes good.

74
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: En, wake up feeling good. Follow them on the socials.
