Why are 27 00:01:12,509 --> 00:01:14,749 Speaker 2: you in scrubs? Mate? Tell us a bit about this This. 28 00:01:16,109 --> 00:01:19,669 Speaker 3: Three three part documentary series it was on a while 29 00:01:19,709 --> 00:01:22,669 Speaker 3: back that they did on SBS, and it's basically, you 30 00:01:22,669 --> 00:01:25,989 Speaker 3: take three people who've had kind of connections with the 31 00:01:26,029 --> 00:01:29,829 Speaker 3: hospitals system, others who themselves a family, placed into Saint 32 00:01:29,869 --> 00:01:34,029 Speaker 3: Vincent's public Hospital in a number of different departments. You 33 00:01:34,149 --> 00:01:36,828 Speaker 3: just get to learn what it takes to save a life, 34 00:01:36,909 --> 00:01:39,429 Speaker 3: what it's really like to work on the front line. 35 00:01:39,789 --> 00:01:42,149 Speaker 3: My brother died of epilepsy a long time ago, forty 36 00:01:42,229 --> 00:01:44,749 Speaker 3: years ago. He was in his early twenties, and I 37 00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:48,549 Speaker 3: want to see whether we've got better at stopping those deaths. 38 00:01:48,549 --> 00:01:50,749 Speaker 3: The answer, of course is sadly we haven't. It still 39 00:01:50,829 --> 00:01:53,149 Speaker 3: is one hundred and seventy people to some unexplained death 40 00:01:53,189 --> 00:01:56,109 Speaker 3: in epilepsy, but we have got much better at solving 41 00:01:56,349 --> 00:01:59,109 Speaker 3: some of those other challenges that come. And then on 42 00:01:59,189 --> 00:02:02,109 Speaker 3: the kind of the bigger picture. I get to work 43 00:02:02,149 --> 00:02:06,509 Speaker 3: in the geriatric wards of Saint Vincent's, which is truly brutal. 44 00:02:07,269 --> 00:02:10,189 Speaker 3: I've never been a workplace where people work harder and 45 00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:13,149 Speaker 3: do a broader range of tasks from the most menial 46 00:02:13,469 --> 00:02:16,589 Speaker 3: changing dressings and wiping bombs. So suddenly the next moment 47 00:02:16,668 --> 00:02:19,189 Speaker 3: they're rushing to get the right the right kit to 48 00:02:19,189 --> 00:02:20,389 Speaker 3: bring someone back to life. 49 00:02:20,429 --> 00:02:23,829 Speaker 1: Your mum has also been diagnosed with dementia, So yeah, if. 50 00:02:23,669 --> 00:02:25,669 Speaker 3: You look, I mean, I mean the dementia piece is 51 00:02:25,669 --> 00:02:28,909 Speaker 3: interesting because obviously as we've got the aging population had 52 00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:31,309 Speaker 3: those two things. One, it's the geriatric wards are full. 53 00:02:31,749 --> 00:02:33,989 Speaker 3: You also got the situation that we're getting older, we 54 00:02:34,309 --> 00:02:37,909 Speaker 3: have more more examples of dementia, and it's really important 55 00:02:37,949 --> 00:02:40,749 Speaker 3: to know about it and to be prepared for what 56 00:02:40,829 --> 00:02:42,029 Speaker 3: could come down the pipe for you. 57 00:02:42,549 --> 00:02:46,229 Speaker 4: Yeah, all four of my grandparents have had dementia. Three 58 00:02:46,349 --> 00:02:47,829 Speaker 4: are no longer with us, one of them still with us. 59 00:02:47,829 --> 00:02:51,909 Speaker 4: But we didn't expect as a family. The mood changes 60 00:02:52,029 --> 00:02:54,989 Speaker 4: because it changes the personality. But then also it was 61 00:02:55,029 --> 00:02:58,109 Speaker 4: almost it was the anger around thinking that what you 62 00:02:58,149 --> 00:03:00,749 Speaker 4: were saying was incorrect because they had forgotten an interaction 63 00:03:01,269 --> 00:03:04,029 Speaker 4: and from the episode it must be so frustrating. 64 00:03:04,749 --> 00:03:09,269 Speaker 3: Yeah, and for the that's terrible for them. And sudden 65 00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:12,709 Speaker 3: moments of lucidity when when they go when they realize 66 00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:14,389 Speaker 3: where they are and have they've changed. 67 00:03:14,429 --> 00:03:16,189 Speaker 1: So Ruby Rose is doing the show as well, and 68 00:03:16,189 --> 00:03:17,909 Speaker 1: you land a dock Itch or all three of you 69 00:03:17,949 --> 00:03:21,149 Speaker 1: stepping onto the front line of to Australisers public hospitals 70 00:03:21,229 --> 00:03:23,189 Speaker 1: to discover what it really takes to save a life. 71 00:03:23,469 --> 00:03:26,149 Speaker 1: And I think it's a solid dose of perspective for 72 00:03:26,149 --> 00:03:27,989 Speaker 1: anyone that's been in a hospital. Is kind of it's 73 00:03:28,069 --> 00:03:29,269 Speaker 1: kind of a place you kind of want to get 74 00:03:29,269 --> 00:03:30,349 Speaker 1: out of really quickly, isn't it. 75 00:03:30,429 --> 00:03:32,349 Speaker 3: You're actually right. One of the bits of research is 76 00:03:32,389 --> 00:03:34,429 Speaker 3: you're more likely if you're old, you're more likely to 77 00:03:34,469 --> 00:03:36,349 Speaker 3: have a fall in hospital than you are at home. 78 00:03:36,429 --> 00:03:38,349 Speaker 3: So we look at this idea, can you provide care 79 00:03:38,349 --> 00:03:41,269 Speaker 3: at home? You know, there were these unbelievable people who 80 00:03:41,389 --> 00:03:44,629 Speaker 3: kind of smicate their lives, yes, to make him feel 81 00:03:44,629 --> 00:03:45,109 Speaker 3: a bit better. 82 00:03:45,229 --> 00:03:46,269 Speaker 2: People there. 83 00:03:47,509 --> 00:03:49,909 Speaker 1: When I was my school holidays was spent because my 84 00:03:49,989 --> 00:03:53,909 Speaker 1: dad's a physician. My school holidays was spent at nursing stations. 85 00:03:54,229 --> 00:03:55,869 Speaker 1: And I remember whenever I used to talk whenever I 86 00:03:55,949 --> 00:03:58,069 Speaker 1: walk into a hospital, Everyone's always like, I hate hospitals. 87 00:03:58,069 --> 00:04:00,269 Speaker 1: I hate hospitals, and I'm always like, well. 88 00:04:00,109 --> 00:04:01,109 Speaker 2: I actually quite like them. 89 00:04:01,149 --> 00:04:03,269 Speaker 1: Because I just have such fond memories of hanging out 90 00:04:03,269 --> 00:04:05,589 Speaker 1: with like fifteen women who used to look after me 91 00:04:05,669 --> 00:04:06,029 Speaker 1: and like. 92 00:04:05,989 --> 00:04:07,909 Speaker 2: Go and get me lunch at the cafeteria, and like 93 00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:09,389 Speaker 2: great cheap holiday for your dad. 94 00:04:09,749 --> 00:04:10,549 Speaker 3: That was it. 95 00:04:10,549 --> 00:04:12,029 Speaker 1: It was He's like, I can't get out of I 96 00:04:12,029 --> 00:04:14,109 Speaker 1: can't get out of ward rounds. None was working full time. 97 00:04:14,109 --> 00:04:15,909 Speaker 1: I've got to bring you guys with me. So I 98 00:04:15,949 --> 00:04:18,309 Speaker 1: have a very different interpretation of them. But I really 99 00:04:18,308 --> 00:04:19,748 Speaker 1: wanted to say that to highlight the point that you 100 00:04:19,789 --> 00:04:22,428 Speaker 1: were saying, Matt, in terms of the individuals that are there, 101 00:04:22,789 --> 00:04:24,628 Speaker 1: You're often so scared of being in hospital, you often 102 00:04:24,628 --> 00:04:26,508 Speaker 1: treat people badly because you don't want to be there. 103 00:04:26,669 --> 00:04:28,308 Speaker 1: But they're they're they're they're people. 104 00:04:28,429 --> 00:04:31,469 Speaker 3: We're slowly getting better at recognizing that and supporting those people. 105 00:04:31,669 --> 00:04:33,669 Speaker 1: We just had a baby in the public hospital with 106 00:04:33,749 --> 00:04:34,428 Speaker 1: the best service. 107 00:04:34,509 --> 00:04:36,789 Speaker 2: We had a Cesarean all for free. 108 00:04:37,109 --> 00:04:41,229 Speaker 1: Like it is insane, that's that's wild.
