The Best of the Best of the Best: RN Carol Barazi, RN Angil Tarach-Richey and More Fun!

Join us for a rerun of one of our favorites. Shayne and Casey have some fun with the story about the dentist who pulled all of her x-boyfriend’s teeth! At least as much fun as you can have over such a tragic loss. Dumping a girlfriend is never easy but having all 32 teeth pulled out by her is the worst that could happen to anybody. Listen and find out just how this happened. There is a moral to the story too. A fairly obvious one at that.

We also visit with San Leandro Hospital RN Carol Barazi about Sutter Corp’s announcement to close yet another hospital in the Bay Area—this time in San Leandro—which serves the East Bay. Of the 27,000 patients seen in the San Leandro emergency room last year, more than 60 percent came from the underserved area of East Oakland, patients who will now need to drive many miles over crowded freeways for care.

I am astounded by people’s courage—the courage they exhibit when they share their journey through grave illness—to recovery. There’s Barbara and Missy, Bobbi, Brandi, Joyce, Angil and more. A big thank you to all of you for sharing your stories with us.
