00:00our job is hardcore it is life and it's death everything we do relies on this bond between us
00:17you're okay you're okay you have to be comfortable in high stress situations
00:32in this immersive series you're in the hospital how much do you want to tell me what drugs you want
00:37to win we take you into the theaters and wards of sydney's busiest hospitals
00:42and into the world of nurses nurses are the backbone of the hospital through their eyes
00:50you'll see life big deep breath in
00:56death unfortunately we can't save her
01:05and everything in between coughs colds and sore holes
01:08welcome to the front line
01:15of one of the world's toughest it's all right darling we're looking after you okay
01:20a most trusted professions
01:24was scary hey nurses are superheroes without capes just in scrubs
01:30this time on nurses an intoxicated patient jacob fights for his life jacob open your eyes you're in
01:46hospital mate a graduate midwife is put to the test hopefully we can break your waters so just going in
01:55now and a parkinson's patient in surgery and awake everything fine it's pretty awful actually
02:10st vincent's hospital has one of the busiest emergency departments in australia you're in the emergency
02:15department it's a vincent's over 50 000 patients come through its doors seeking urgent medical attention
02:23there is no such thing as a typical day in ed you see people with headaches you see people with
02:28injuries you see people have been in car crashes intoxicated people your drug affected people
02:35anything comes in the door head down bum up get in and get it done
02:43my name is carly and i'm a registered nurse in the ed department when i was younger i was the paper
02:49girl at the local hospital i was probably about eight or nine with the old cart
02:55and the whistle oh look who's here here we are i looked up to the nurses and i thought that's
03:00something i would like to do all right do you want a hand yeah sure all right i'll send these bloods
03:06where would you be without nurses up the creek without a paddle
03:10carly's shift is just beginning and a major trauma is on the way
03:23it's carly in ed can i have a major trauma recess two please thank you a 28 year old man has been
03:30discovered unconscious after a night of drinking recess three which is the lowest score you can get
03:36so it's the most unconscious you can be he's got an evident head injury so it doesn't sound good
03:42if he's not collared we'll collar him when he gets here
03:49it's a 28 year old male um history of going out last night drinking with a friend they came home
03:54around 2 a.m friend reports he fell to the floor all we can find is an abrasion on his left eye
04:00friend denies any drug use just says alcohol and doesn't have any other medical history on him
04:05where we're located we have a very big drug and alcohol catchment area he does have equal pupils
04:10they're about four meals he's just having a little vomit there just open up for me mate that's it the
04:15worst case scenario is that he could aspirate so he's going to vomit he's got no gag reflex it's going
04:20to go straight back into his lungs and give him ammonia and essentially he'll die from it jacob open your
04:27eyes jacob open your eyes you're in hospital mate jacob yeah very strong come on man open your eyes
04:38open your eyes buddy jacob hold on buddy yeah we'll have to flirt us today i think i've got i've got
04:47ketamine you want to ask yeah oh careful everybody please so we can get an arm so we can get a
04:57second line it's quite combative hold on buddy jacob 100 100 all right jacob
05:08the neurology department at st vincent's hospital treats an average of 1500 patients a year we're
05:22just being super super cautious the dedicated team performs complex brain surgeries you can see the
05:29brain pulsating away to improve the quality of life for those suffering from a number of debilitating
05:35conditions neurosurgery when it's successful it can be life-changing but we're working within
05:40millimeters and one wrong move can be disastrous
05:53this admissions
05:57ann is one of over 80 000 australians living with parkinson's disease
06:03a neurological movement disorder with symptoms including tremors rigidity and uncontrolled
06:09movements parkinson's to me is all the things i can't do like even getting dressed is difficult
06:15i can't write goodness me writing is terrible you know i don't like to go out walking very far by
06:22myself in case i fall over it sort of makes you feel incompetent
06:26today am will undergo a revolutionary surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation she will be
06:35awake during the entire operation
06:40for deep brain stimulation the idea is that we insert electrodes into the part of the patient's
06:45brain that is not conducting electrical signals correctly and we stimulate that area so the goals
06:51of deep brain stimulation for parkinson's is to improve our patient's quality of life by alleviating the
06:56symptoms that are hampering them doing their normal activities scrub nurse naomi has over 20 years
07:03experience i am in the specialized field of neurosurgery and has assisted in hundreds of deep brain
07:10stimulation procedures yeah you feeling okay yeah good okay if you need anything just yell out it's hard
07:16sometimes because you can see the fear on some patients faces and we try and make that a bit easier for
07:21them whilst naomi scrubs in anna is prepared for surgery which involves shaving her head a necessary
07:30step to minimize the risk of infection having the hair cut off it's daunting it's up there with all the
07:36things i'm not happy about but it's a small price to pay the mri that was done prior to surgery that looks
07:45nice ann has been fitted with a frame that will keep her head perfectly still during the delicate
07:52procedure principal neurosurgeon dr benjamin jonka and neurologist dr stephen tish will map the coordinates
08:00in her brain to precisely implant electrodes okay and let's scroll up from there by the way
08:08yeah it's still i think that's okay yeah it's still reasonably lateral over the next four hours a team
08:16of five doctors and four nurses will try to literally switch off the effects of parkinson's
08:24the surgery is unique in that the patient is awake for the majority of the procedure
08:28does your neck feel okay there ann yeah i think so yeah excellent can we get a swipe of prep and the local
08:34gloves and you're going to feel something cold on your head in the moment dr jonka will inject local
08:42anaesthetic into ann's scalp so that she won't feel the incision he needs to make in order to access her
08:49brain okay a little bit of a sting and i'm just going to put a little bit of extra local into your scalp
08:54now but the brain itself has no pain receptors so the implantation of the electrodes will be painless
09:01our patients awake for the procedure so that when we put the electrodes in we can test that they're
09:06actually a in the right place and that they're actually alleviating the patient's symptoms
09:13and real-time responses to questions and repetition of physical movements during the procedure will be
09:20crucial being awake while someone's drilling into your skull and putting electrodes into your brain
09:25it's pretty daunting how is that and a bit strange i think all of us imagine that the patient could be
09:33a family member or a loved one and we do try and make sure that we treat them as we would want our
09:37family members to be treated
09:47if we can make a patient more comfortable in any small way we'll go out of our way to doing that
09:52because it's such a strange and scary experience for patients being awake
09:59and have you got our cables dr yonker guides recording micro electrodes into the target positions
10:06which can be up to seven centimeters deep into ann's brain
10:13and that's the sound of your brain you can hear there and in a couple of minutes we'll hear some
10:17different sound as we enter the subthalamic nucleus it's the most perilous part of the procedure due to
10:26the risk of seizure brain bleed or even stroke the stakes are high one wrong move can have catastrophic
10:34consequences
10:47how is that and a bit strange in the surgical theater of st vincent's private hospital parkinson's patient
10:54ann is 90 minutes into a deep brain stimulation surgery during which she must remain awake
11:01and that's the sound of your brain you can hear there and once we've made the hole in the skull
11:07with the drill we're able to insert something called a micro driver into the brain which places
11:12the electrodes where we want them to if the surgery is successful the electrodes will override the
11:18malfunctioning part of ann's brain that is causing her parkinson's symptoms so i'm just going to take
11:24your right hand out just to check a few things and neurologist dr tish conducts physical tests to
11:31establish the baseline of her symptoms which include rigidity and tremors it's a bit restricted isn't it
11:38rigidities are two full range moderate severity but there is a tiny bit of tremor grade one
11:45so and we're going to do some test stimulation now what we're looking for is to see if it has any
11:59effect on that bit of rigidity that you still have and also to look and see if there are any side
12:04effects okay so 0.5 million very small amounts of electrical current are fed through the electrodes
12:13that are in place deep within ann's brain everything fine any pins and needles or numbers anything of
12:19that sort look left right still okay there's no more rigidity so we'll be mainly looking at side
12:30effects now 2.5 go to three smile big smile go to 3.5 the amount of electrical current is increased
12:41gradually it's a very fine line as too much current can result in difficulty speaking numbness and
12:48physical discomfort for ann sometimes there's complications that can occur straight to four
12:54oh it feels weird all over and look left right
13:09hold on babe in emergency jacob carly and the team have called in security to help manage an
13:20intoxicated patient with a suspected head injury who's becoming increasingly agitated jacob all that we
13:29know is that last night he's been drinking and then he was found on the floor this morning and he's
13:33quite combative and agitated and not waking up it looks like he's got some kind of head injury so
13:38it'll need to get sedated
13:43there's a hundred of ketamine just gone in so yeah lots of vomitus around the earway with the patient still
13:49vomiting seven hours after his last drink the decision is made to sedate and intubate him
13:56to prevent suffocation and allow the team to examine him safely
14:01when you guys are ready i think we'll make the tube 100 of rock yeah okay
14:12okay rock's going in right now the decision to intubate someone is never taken lightly because it is
14:18quite invasive procedure and there are a lot of risks involved you know trauma to the mouth trauma to the
14:23throat trauma to the chest cavity trauma to the lung you can cause someone to have an ammonia just by
14:28putting them on a ventilator so it's always a last resort can someone have a listen to the chest
14:38cure
14:42with jacob fully sedated and safely intubated he's sent for a ct scan to determine whether the fall he
14:50had in the early hours of the morning has resulted in a spinal injury or a bleed on the brain
14:56okay we're all ready to go yeah ready yeah
15:06he's acting like he does have a head injury he's at a decreased level of consciousness he's agitated
15:10he's not waking up he's doing non-purposeful movements so all of those signs of a head
15:15injury hence why we're going to scan his head and just see what's going on
15:19they're also going to scan his neck because he might have injured his neck at the same time as
15:25he fell okay so we're rolling on three one two three and down one two that's great yeah okay everyone ready
15:38it might just be a lot a lot a lot of alcohol but it'd have to be a very lot of alcohol for
15:42those symptoms
15:50in surgery at st vincent's private hospital
15:54go to 3.5 dr tish has been slowly increasing the intensity of electrical current through the
16:01electrode implanted deep into ann's brain that last little bit of testing was a bit unpleasant because
16:07we're just probing the level for where side effects occur okay
16:15do you feel fine you say the days of the week monday tuesday a bit louder so everyone can hear
16:25so ben there's a very good effect at target at 0.5 milliamps that's very loose can you see that
16:30rigidity is just about disappeared it's amazing seeing the instant impact i mean you can really
16:38see what we're doing what we're achieving
16:46see that yeah that's better yeah look at that that's a definite pop there isn't it very big
16:51so the tremor seems to have disappeared so tremors down to a zero does that feel looser that arm now
16:56does feel looser it feels like you've got more use of it yeah it's starting isn't it yeah it is
17:02so it's a lot looser than before we started the operation it's great it's definitely a source of
17:07hope for the patient they obviously notice the immediate effects of the stimulation while they're
17:12in theaters and it just i mean it's not a cure but it certainly improves their quality of life for
17:16hopefully many years both of those brain electrodes are now in and secured now we're just
17:22going to give everything a good clean and then close it all up the electrode stays in place after
17:37the operation because that's what actually overrides the electrical signals in the brain that are not
17:42firing correctly and it stays there permanently for the rest of their life it's always great to see the
17:48the patient responds so well it's a really rewarding experience for all of us the whole team
17:55after four hours of surgery am will now be transferred to the intensive care unit for
18:00monitoring and just brought you up to intensive care okay you've done very well although the surgery
18:07has been a success the care she receives in the coming days will be crucial to her recovery
18:13she's not out of the woods yet in emergency carly is anxiously awaiting the results of a ct scan for her
18:23patient who fell while intoxicated
18:27so we're all done okay thanks thank you
18:50a great outcome is someone will come in with an issue and it's not life-threatening and we can
18:55treat them and get them back home again that's good news for jacob his scans are all clear the best
19:01explanation for his deeply unconscious state would be alcohol consumption yeah that's better one two
19:08why were we ever trying to do it with two people in the first place he's at 230 pounds for women that
19:12can't i do think he'll be okay because you know his blood pressure is rising and his limbs are starting
19:17to move so they're all good signs that someone's trying to wake up
19:27jacob will be transferred to the intensive care unit for observation overnight
19:33whatever is the issue we greet everyone with open arms we're here to help
19:45the hospital
19:56a 30 minute drive from st vincent's is the maternity unit at the martyr hospital
20:02best sweetheart is speaking there a roster of 90 nurses work around the clock in the specialized area
20:10of midwifery it's when things aren't going to plan particularly in labor if there's any complications
20:16baby's heart rate drops or we're in a bad position people appreciate you being there in
20:22those moments to support them and it reminds you again you know that you are making a difference
20:27my name is heidi and i'm a new graduate midwife it's cold and rainy out there so it's a good day to be
20:43inside i've started at the martyr at the beginning of the year morning susan i think it's a great career
20:52to be involved in because you're seeing start of life henry hello it's beautiful i would like to have
21:01a baby one day but for now i think i'll stick to my dog i'll wait a few more years
21:06i just put the stamps for the vitamin k and then as a first-year midwife heidi has been taken under
21:20the wing of senior midwife jeanette jeanette's beautiful she's been my preceptor since i started
21:28she's had so much experience in midwifery in chile and in australia
21:32you can tell she loves her job
21:40heidi is preparing the birthing suite for a third-time mum who was due to have an induction
21:45and within the light we have a powerpoint in size so an induction is bringing on labor artificially
21:53that means that if they want to listen there's a few reasons why you might have an induction
21:57sometimes the placentas don't work as efficiently once a baby's overdue if the woman gets gestational
22:03diabetes or any other complications it's a big day for heidi laura how you going we're just down
22:09here in um room four that's all good she'll take charge of laura's care while jeanette supervises
22:16when needed we'll monitor bub for the first bit and um then we'll get the induction started yeah
22:24and bub's been moving around a lot this morning yeah we not he's not heaps okay not heaps this
22:30morning not much room anymore and are you happy if i have a quick pal where he is sorry my hands are
22:35very cold there's a major emotional role that we play with people forming those relationships often
22:42quite quickly with people who's looking after his little brothers today oh daycare hence why choosing
22:47today we're just trying to keep them in routine and yeah yeah that connection that you make with
22:53someone even in a short period of time is a special part of this job i think our three and a half year
22:58old gets it like i told him my baby has a present for them oh that's nice and our two-year-old see yeah
23:04yeah laura's labor will be induced by breaking her waters so we'll put the monitor back on bub
23:17for about half an hour or so after we break the water and when we break the waters we'll give your
23:21cervix a nice sweep as well which will also probably irritate it a bit and yeah hopefully bring on some
23:27contractions heidi has watched jeanette perform the procedure but she's only done it herself twice
23:34before just check baby's trace and baby's heart rate's looking really good so we're going to go in
23:39and do an examination and hopefully break our waters just feel some cold jelly yeah and hopefully we can
23:46break your waters so just going in now yeah tickling bubba's little head
23:57so
24:12heidi senses something isn't right
24:27graduate midwife heidi is preparing to induce a mother's labor by breaking her waters when something
24:37doesn't doesn't feel right heidi asks jeanette for a second opinion
24:46heidi is going to be cold okay it's a little bit of pressure there
24:55heidi's instincts are right
25:05what happened at the moment i don't want to rupture the membrane because what i found the baby has a
25:11little hand here
25:15i can feel the little fingers in there saying hello so baby is basically sitting with their hand on our
25:21head if the cervix was here obviously that's not an ideal presentation we will just call your doctor and
25:27ask him what he wants to do
25:33laura's obstetrician is called in to check on whether the induction can proceed given the baby's position
25:43maybe i'll just do an examination and see if that hand's moved it looks like it's at least
25:47beside the head and when there's fingers in the front the pressure
25:58it can easily get through to the membranes
26:00the obstetrician confirms that heidi's hesitation to break laura's waters was right when there's
26:16something if you like in front of the head what the risk is things like cord prolapse
26:23the doctor is sending laura home in the hope that the baby moves on its own in the coming days if
26:28you've had a date set and they've been planning to come in and have their bob and have to go home
26:33it would be really difficult take your time okay yeah it's not a new show the babies they can do it
26:40all the time but at the end of the day mum's safe and bob's safe so that's the most important thing for
26:45them yeah see you
26:59one in seven australians is over the age of 70. he is a lot more tired than normal the aging
27:18population's increasing need for healthcare has seen a rise in elderly patients requiring emergency
27:25medical attention every day can be a big challenge in the emergency department we certainly see a fair
27:32share of elderly patients it can be difficult
27:37paramedics have brought in an elderly woman hello hello the woman was found by a neighbor
27:55on the floor of her home where paramedics suspect she had been for several days do you know where you
28:01are at the moment so the lady in here 76 year old female she's been found at home really lying on the
28:08ground with like a magazine stuck to her legs her legs are really full of sores
28:15we can't feel the pulses in one of the leg because it's so necrotic looking there's actually some
28:21maggots crawling around her leg and she's now incredibly like septic her blood pressure is really low
28:28she's really quite sick my name's iromi this is darren you're at st vincent's hospital can you try to sit
28:38up for me
28:46is that sore
28:49is that painful
28:52she's not really following it no it's not following instructions
28:54she's got probably something called a hypoactive delirium as well which is
29:00probably exacerbated with her infection so there's confusion acute confusion the patient's confusion is
29:08a serious symptom of sepsis a life-threatening bacterial infection that if not treated can lead to organ
29:16failure and death we're obviously incredibly concerned about the legs one of them is no pulse so she might
29:21end up having to go for an operation and you know she might end up losing the leg and so it's pretty
29:27serious i'll get the antibiotic started the patient is given iv antibiotics and fluids as the team races
29:33against the clock to try to save her legs and prevent her suffering septic shock a significant
29:40drop in blood pressure that can lead to heart failure so we're just trying to give her a fluid
29:45resuscitation but she's non-compliant with keeping her arms so that's why i'm kind of holding her arms get
29:50these fluids in to try and improve that blood pressure you know 67 systolic's incredible long
29:57someone who's mid-70s female reasonable weight you're expecting about 130 140 not that if she
30:07continues with her blood pressure that's only so long she can handle and then she'll crash
30:20oh
30:22on the 10th floor at st vincent's private hospital neurologist dr tish and neurosurgeon dr yonker
30:29are checking in on parkinson's patient and following her deep-brain stimulation surgery
30:36how you going can see it just stimulating sort of mid array contacts one and nine with the electrodes now
30:46implanted in Anne's brain, the amount of current passing through them can be
30:51fine-tuned remotely. Rigidity at 0.3. I think it's clearly providing excellent
30:58benefit. How do you feel your Parkinson's is at the moment?
31:03It doesn't feel as though it's there actually. That's good. Good stuff. Excellent.
31:13The recovery is rapid. It's actually amazing how quickly people can recover
31:18from this particular procedure, given that it's brain surgery. After seven days
31:25in hospital, it's finally time for Anne to go home to her husband, Henley. You did
31:31very well. No drains, walking as what physio has recommended. Just take it easy
31:37for the first two weeks, two weeks. Naomi, she might ring you, like, just to check
31:43on your mum when you've been settled here. The reward of being a nurse for me is to
31:47make a difference. I hope Anne has a better quality of life and can go back to doing
31:52the things she loves doing. Having my hair shaved off was probably the most
31:56confronting thing of all. Although when I look back on it, it doesn't really matter
32:01now. I don't really care. I quite like the feel of it. I run my hands over it all the
32:07time and it's not so bad. I wish you all the bad.
32:11Yeah. Thank you.
32:12All right. Take care.
32:14Take care.
32:15See you.
32:16Yeah.
32:17I guess when I look back, I wasn't very well when I first came in here. I certainly feel quite
32:23well. I feel I can get up and walk around easily and I don't think I'll get so tired.
32:29I feel quite liberated actually. I feel good. I hope to feel a whole lot better for a whole
32:36long time now.
32:38You're in the emergency department. It's at Vincent's. In the emergency department, Darren
32:56is treating an elderly sepsis patient. You've got the really bad infection in your legs. The
33:04severe infection has caused confusion and delirium, leaving the woman unresponsive.
33:10Hello.
33:11Yes.
33:12First words you've said so far.
33:15But after administering IV antibiotics, the team finally has a breakthrough.
33:21Where do you live about? Where do you live?
33:27Where do you live?
33:28Well, in Australia or... Australia, yeah.
33:34Well, in Darling Point. Darling Point, that's good. That's right. And do you live alone?
33:48At present, yes. At present, yes. Okay.
33:55It makes us feel better that she's certainly more alert despite that blood pressure. And
34:03when I'm feeling her heart rate is strong, so that's reassuring. I'm feeling a lot better
34:10that you're talking to me now. Because you weren't talking at all for a good two hours. So that
34:19means that something that we're doing is making you better.
34:22I've worked with Darren for just over a year and a half. He really does care.
34:27You can hold my hand if you want. Want to hold my... There we go.
34:32He wants the best for everyone.
34:34Can you move your toes? Move these toes for me. Are they sore?
34:39They're sore. Yeah. No wonder.
34:43I remember when I was a student nurse, one of the nursing assistants back home in Scotland,
34:48she had said to me, you know that woman over there? And I looked over and it was, like,
34:53an old woman. And she was like, you treat her like it's your gran. And you remember that
34:58throughout your career and you'll do well. And I guess I've always kind of just kept at it.
35:04It says in one leg or two legs. Two? I know.
35:17They managed to contact the neighbour that's been looking after her.
35:20She is a lady that lives alone. She suffers from agoraphobia,
35:24so it doesn't leave the house normally. The neighbour does all the care.
35:28She's got sons overseas, but I don't think there's good contact there at all.
35:32And it sounds like she's just been left on her own for quite a while.
35:35With her blood pressure still dangerously low,
35:38and the infection in her legs a serious cause for concern,
35:42the decision is made to transfer the patient to the intensive care unit.
35:46It's so lucky that the neighbour found her,
35:49and she's going to need a lot of nursing care.
35:51Yeah, she's going to need a lot of intervention.
35:54This will probably be one of the worst dressings I've ever did.
35:58Bit awkward though, huh? Yeah.
36:00It happens everywhere, you know, old people.
36:03With no family around, no one there for them.
36:05It's just not the way it should be, really.
36:07But there is so many old people at home with no support.
36:13Now that we've got this patient with us,
36:15we can really try and get her better.
36:18Because we've got her in the hospital system now,
36:20we can try and get services there, you know,
36:22try and really support her.
36:23So it doesn't happen again.
36:25February 2021, and it's a big day at St Vincent's.
36:28Australia's COVID-19 vaccination rollout has begun.
36:32And frontline medical staff will be the first to get their jabs.
36:41The registration process, are we ready to go with that?
36:44Sitting up now.
36:45Lovely.
36:46Senior nurses, Danielle and Rachel, from the Disaster Management Team,
36:49are in charge of setting up the hospital's staff vaccination program.
36:51We've got the paper consent forms, yes.
36:52We'll write the temperature on those.
36:53Right, let's go get the vaccine.
36:54Very exciting.
36:55Hopefully, we'll do about 20 to 40 staff, just as a bit of a soft launch,
36:58while we get our processes in place.
36:59Danielle and Rachel, are we ready to go with that?
37:00We're ready to go with that?
37:01Sitting up now.
37:02Lovely.
37:03Senior nurses, Danielle and Rachel, from the Disaster Management Team,
37:04are in charge of setting up the hospital's staff vaccination program.
37:07We've got the paper consent forms, yes.
37:10We'll write the temperature on those.
37:12Right, let's go get the vaccine.
37:14Very exciting.
37:17Hopefully, we'll do about 20 to 40 staff,
37:20just as a bit of a soft launch, while we get our processes in place.
37:24Danielle is Miss Covid St Vincent's,
37:27and so between her and Rachel,
37:29I'm sure they'll kind of make sure everyone's vaccinated.
37:32The vaccinations,
37:34they're extraordinarily secure location in the bowels of the hospital,
37:39to the point where we had to get the local police
37:41to come in and do a site security assessment.
37:43It's Danielle's job to collect the vaccine vials from the pharmacy.
37:48Are we ready?
37:49I'm so ready.
37:50Oh my gosh.
37:51My role is incident response
37:53and disaster management.
37:55A historic moment.
37:56The last 14 months,
37:58it's really just been leading the hospital's response to COVID.
38:01I think between our clinics and our amazing pathology team,
38:05we've done over half a million COVID tests.
38:08I'm exhausted just talking about it.
38:12And here we've got a vial and 10 labels.
38:15Now we're in COVID Vax.
38:18The target today is 40, but Danielle has enough to vaccinate a hundred members of staff.
38:26To actually get to this point has required a lot of work from a lot of people.
38:33Hello, everybody.
38:34I have the vaccine.
38:35Oh, it's here.
38:36Oh my gosh.
38:37So in each one, there's one vial and then the 10 labels.
38:49It's a big event.
38:50This vaccination is going to save the world.
38:55Obi-Wan is our only hope.
38:59Help me, Obi-Wan.
39:01Help me, AstraZeneca.
39:03You're my only hope.
39:05Right?
39:06She's hilarious.
39:07She's my fellow master of disaster.
39:10We're complete opposites, but we complement each other.
39:13We have worked together for 17 years now.
39:1817 years of marriage.
39:21And we always say, you know, because we are very, very different.
39:26She's slapping up Sally on protocol Patty.
39:29I am very by the book and doing it properly.
39:34Just checking with me.
39:36Yeah, I'm shorter than you.
39:38I can't.
39:39Sorry, love.
39:41First dose.
39:43Is our first patient here?
39:45Yeah.
39:46Oh, great.
39:47Good.
39:54There you go.
39:56Ah, there it goes.
40:01We gave our first vaccination and, you know, it's a really special moment for the service,
40:06but also personally for our team.
40:13Give us your vaccination.
40:14It's so important for us to get the vaccination rollout really happening.
40:20Can I take a photo, Stephen?
40:23The sooner we can get everybody vaccinated across the community, not just across the health service,
40:29the sooner, you know, the things that we used to take for granted can start up again.
40:33We haven't socialised together forever because of COVID.
40:36I started drinking zero alcohol wine.
40:39What's the point?
40:40It's like going to Macca's and having a salad.
40:42It's been a hugely successful day for the team, who've exceeded their target of vaccinating 40 staff.
40:50I think we did 96 in total.
40:52Yes, we will definitely be having a drink to celebrate our achievements today.
40:58No, thank you.
41:00We'll see you tomorrow.
41:01I just need a gentle downward slope.
41:04I'll push you in the pond.
41:05Please.
41:06Can you?
41:07You were joking about the stairs.
41:11I can't believe it was, like, seamless.
41:14I was wondering, we thought maybe we'd do 20 to 50 vaccinations and we did nearly 100.
41:18Like, I'm pretty happy.
41:20Cheers, love.
41:21Cheers, love.
41:22We did it.
41:29Patients aren't numbers.
41:30We certainly treat everyone as if it was our loved ones lying in that bed space.
41:39It's awesome, at the end of the day, the work that we've all done has helped and saved a life.
41:44In surgeries where the brain is involved, I think we make a huge difference and it's nice to feel like we have made a difference to someone's life.
41:53That's pretty huge.
41:59Some aspects of nursing, you're seeing a lot of death.
42:03Watching that moment of when baby's born, it's beautiful.
42:07Just to see new life coming through.
42:14You're the host, somebody else hears you thinking and performs, it's true.
42:15Below you?
42:24Be patient.
42:27We came to a certain Simon, or the Archie.
42:29You know, she can't believe and 1972 and has found myself and is worth a huge change when having come down.
