All-Woman Senate Panel Moves to Ban Viagra. National Nurses. Single Payer in California. Lotsa Laughs

Welcome to Nurse Talk where laughter is the best medicine—I’m Casey Hobbs.”
“And I’m Dan Grady…and we are just two of the thousands of nurses on duty today.”

And so it begins

“Dan as you know, we try to shy away from controversy but sometimes a gal just has to speak up. I must comment on the recent congressional hearings on contraception. First of all—I thought that train left the station in the 70’s! And can we talk? The expert panel assembled consisted of all males! “Where’s The Beef?” as our old friend Clara Peller used to say in the famous Wendy’s commercial. Without going into further detail, we wondered what it would be like—if the shoe were on the other foot—so to speak. You know, the deck being stacked to fall the other way?”

Contraception Hearing
House hearing on the Obama administration’s contraception rule — with an all-male panel testifying before a largely male committee. Say what?

AS LUCK would have it—a little research provided us with the perfect opportunity to share just that kind of breaking news. Listen this Saturday as California State Senator Janelle Jones introduces groundbreaking legislation (Senate Bill SB 1240) that moves to criminalize the very dangerous Viagra. That’s right—Viagra. The all-woman senate panel that drafted this bill says there is mountains of evidence that Viagra should be banned! Don’t miss Senator Jones on Nurse Talk!

National Nurses United Co-President, RN Deborah Burger

AND..we have an update on the very active nurses from National Nurses United. Deborah Burger always brings life and humanity to the critical healthcare issues in our country.

We’ll check in with our friend Andrew McGuire. Andrew is the Executive Director of California One Care. Cal One Care envisions a health care system where every child and every adult receives the health care they need, when they need it, and at a cost that is affordable. We align fully with that vision and we’ll check in with Andrew about the campaign and let our listeners know how they can get involved.

AND OF course where would we be with out a little laughter? We’ll have another edition of “In My Day” with comedian Lynn Ruth Miller, Golden Bed Pan Award, Phobia of the Week and some email questions and calls.
