00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: It's been a while, and congratulations on you on their

Speaker 2: partner now like fine wine, eight.

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 3: Months, it's like the next I can tell you that

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 3: he's certainly he's certainly aging.

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: I know that I don't really can call me you

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 2: can't recall it a revolving door, because I believe longevity

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 2: is kind of a major thing.

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 4: That Yeah, well, afternoon.

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: That's right, Rand, thank you for remembering man, not thank

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 3: you exactly right now.

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: For people who miss season one, which had Melissa ly

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: on Costa Oh God, we love Costa Georgia and Samuel Johnson,

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: tell us, you know, can you give us a quick

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: crib note story.

19
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 5: About Tracy is to get the get a handle about

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 5: what it's like to work within the hospital from the

21
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 5: point of view of three people who should never really

22
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 5: be allowed in a hospital because they have absolutely.

23
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 2: No experience in that area, and they're probably their skill

24
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: level probably starts with well in my case specifically, you know,

25
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: I can just about carry a bedpan and run run

26
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: warm blankets. That that's about my skill level in that situation, given,

27
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 2: given the given the requirements to the people that actually

28
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: work on the front line. And I suppose it's that

29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 2: in all of our cases, you Lena Dockets, you know,

30
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: famous tennis legend, Ribby Rose, actress of myself, we've all

31
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: had kind of experiences in hospital, either but ourselves or

32
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: with family members, and it's taking us into into that

33
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: situation to find out more. I mean, in my case,

34
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: I felt that, you know, I went in with lots

35
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: of questions. I kind of came out with with almost

36
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: more questions. It's a it's a massive it's a massive

37
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: area the hospital system, and it's and one of the

38
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: areas that I looked at. I looked at neurologies for

39
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: the epilepsy, but I also looked at geriatrics and spent

40
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 2: some time on working on the geriatric ward.

41
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: And that was that was an eye on because that

42
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 3: we've we've all well many of us have have spent

43
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 3: some time in hospital as patients and been very appreciative

44
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 3: of the work that the people on the floor there do.

45
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: So I guess it's a great opportunity to see it.

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: You don't know, that's right.

47
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, And look, I think it's a combination one one.

48
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: It's the I mean, each department has a different nuance.

49
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: Certainly geriatrics is incredibly hard work, physically hard work, and

50
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: that that surprised me. You know, we've got to move

51
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: patients or something, getting bed source, you've got to change dressings,

52
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: you've gotta you've got to you're gonna you've gotta, you've

53
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 2: got to toilet them. But then also at the same time,

54
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: at any moment, you gotta have what they call a

55
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: code blue where there's a life threatening incident and the

56
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: nurses and the team there they have to leap into action.

57
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: So you go from doing back baking menial stuff into

58
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: doing real life for death, high end, super intelligent. Let's

59
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: make this that could affect whether someone lives or dies.

60
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a it's a very it's very different

61
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: from the job of eating cake for a living.

62
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: You talk about, you know, unsung heroes. My niece is

63
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: a nurse, and I'm a bit biased because she's one

64
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: of the most amazing people I know, but they are

65
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: incredible human beings, nurses.

66
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: And I think that that's and Ruby puts it beautifully.

67
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 2: You know, she has a couple of really intense upsetting moments,

68
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: personally upsetting moments that are really hard to deal with,

69
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: and then she's kind of she's brought back from by

70
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: the fact of realizing how amazingly caring and how amazingly

71
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: skilled and the team that are looking after her patients are.

72
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: And I think that's the thing. I mean, I think

73
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: the thing is that the reason why one of the

74
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: major reasons why I Help Service survives and is so

75
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: well regarded is because of the people working on the

76
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: front line. And then the question is do we do

77
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: We can call those people heroes, but do we rear

78
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: them enough with supporting them. And the answers, no, we

79
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: don't know, and we should.

80
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: Just putting your other hat on, your former hat on

81
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 3: just for a moment. How did you rate the hospital food?

82
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: I have I have a rule.

83
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: I have a rule now, which is which is you.

84
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: Rate hospital food alongside airline food, and you kind of

85
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: and and you don't because because because I think that's

86
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: the thing I discovered is the complexity. You're thinking all

87
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: the dartry differences.

88
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 4: We have, and you go, Okay, that's a challenge.

89
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: That's a mystery box right there.

90
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 4: Then your people who need texturizers, and it's the food's

91
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 4: got to be like like three D bridges a man.

92
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 4: It's you know at the end, but but it's if

93
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 4: you're in hospital and hole a long time, there's.

94
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 2: Your joy right there. Each jelly and kne stream is mine.

95
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: I don't have the ham sandwich.

96
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 3: I'll give you nine out of ten for the jelly.

97
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: Well, Matt, we look forward to seeing the stories that

98
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,360
