Whine and Cheese: Recent Episodes
Passionate World Talk Radio
The Whine and Cheese is a place to come and vent. If you want to voice your opinion and really need to vent, then this is the place for you. We will not allow any vulgar language. You really can make your point without swearing. When you come on the Whine and Cheese Show you might bring awareness to an issue that some may not have heard about.
Today Sheila Wilson’s interview is with Debra Falzoi, Debra educates employees and validates their experiences so they can take back their dignity. She started Dignity Together, providing coping services and resources for workplace abuse targets.
We spoke about the healthcare workers and how hard it had to be for them to be working the shifts they were working without getting the breaks they needed, the number of patients they had, and the lack of staff. The nurses were at a disadvantage they didn’t have the correct personal protective equipment to protect themselves.
We are hoping with Debra’s resources, some nurses can find some comfort from the horrendous time they spent treating the very ill patients that were in their care. Workplace abuse comes in many ways.

Do you remember why the Nurses went on Strike with St Vincent Hospital?
Sheila Wilson’s interview today with Beckett Augat, R.N. at St. Vincent Hospital. Sheila and Beckett talked about the main reason that the Nurses went out on strike for the safety of the Patient.
We must understand the Main Reason the Nurses went out on Strike. As the strike continues, things will be said, you know, he said she said and you lose the real reason for something that happened such as this strike with the Nurses and St Vincent Hospital.
The nurses are responsible for too many patients and it isn’t safe for the patients! Patient ratios were getting too high and could leave the patient in jeopardy. Many of the striking nurses have lost faith and trust in the administration. These nurses have been on strike for 147 days so far! Negotiations will continue Monday, August 2, 2021, we wish success to the Nurses on the Negotiations with St. Vincent Hospital and for wanting to take care of their patients the correct way!

This healthcare workers assault changed her life in a heartbeat
Today Sheila Wilson interviewed a healthcare provider Kim. Kim states she was assaulted by a patient while she was working her shift. During the conversation she stated doesn’t remember everything about the assault but she does remember the patient slamming her head on the table, passing out, and being dragged by two patients to another room. The incident itself didn’t sound like it lasted a long time but the aftermath of this assault is still going on. She spoke of the struggles of having to deal with physician appointments, workman compensation, and many other agencies.
There seems to be no end to the problems that Kim is having. Kim has no support from her hospital or guidance from the court system. This happens to many nurses that do not have any support. Providing a picture before the incident and after the incident

Sheila Wilson's Guest is Beckett Augat a nurse that worked in the Emergency room. She also is a Member and Representative of the Massachusetts Nursing Association. Beckett has been on this show before and shared with us the issues that she and all the nurses are dealing with in the hospital she has worked in for years. She has been on strike for 9 weeks, walking the sidewalks in front of St. Vincent’s hospital with hundreds of other nurses, community members, and friends. They are striking for the hospital to provide more staff. The nurses are taking care of too many patients and this makes it unsafe for the patient and themselves. She mentions negotiations aren’t going well. They have spent hours sitting at the negotiation table with no solutions. The hospital has put out a full-page ad in the newspaper to hire more nurses instead of thinking about the issues of lack of safe staffing.
In this interview, ER Nurse Beckett Augat discusses her meeting with members of the hospital administration and MA. Nursing Assoc. (MNA) Nurse’s Union. The nurses have sent 600 unsafe staffing forms with no response from the hospital administrations. The nurses need more staff to give good care. Their nursing ratios are too high !. The nurses have been on strike for 8 weeks. Beckett spoke that negotiations didn’t go well. When MNA asked about more staffing Members of the Hospital Administration response was they are taking back the money that was offered. Members of the Hospital Administration don’t seem to understand what goes into taking good care of patients. Beckett also discussed the “one patient law”. If a patient comes in and is seriously ill and needs a critical care bed that patient is assigned a nurse, it is the only patient that nurse has until this patient gets stable. Unfortunately, this is not the case in the Emergency room where the staffing ratios are higher.
This is an interview that the public needs to hear. This Strike is for Safe Patient Care Not MONEY as it is led to be Believe in the Media!
If you really want to help the Nurses from St. Vincents Hospital, please contact your Legislators in Massachusetts and express your concerns. You really do not realize how powerful your VOICE is!!! Help the Nurses as this STRIKe is for YOU- the patient.
Who is holding your hand when you are a patient in the Hospital? No! it is not a Member of the Hospital Administration, No! it is not the Doctor. Who is left? The NURSE! So let's support the Nurse by speaking up for the Nurse and call your Legislator in Massachusetts and Call the Hospital to register your complaints. Please use your voice and make a stand for the Nurses at St. Vincent Hospital.
This issue for the nurses is just not in Massachusetts it is all over the United States of America. There are Nurses on Strike happening in many places so this is not just one isolated Strike happening in Massachusetts. The Publick (and that is you) Need to step up and help these Nurses. Look, I know we are in a Health Pandemic in the United States, and the World but life still continues with problems that still have to be solved every day.

How do you handle the harassment? All these questions and more will be discussed in this interview with Sheila Wilson and Debra Falzoi. If you are in this type of situation, contact Debra Falzoi for further information on finding solutions.

Sheila Wilson and Beckett Augat continue on with COVID 19. How COVID 19 is affecting many areas in the hospital and beyond. We trying to bring more awareness to the journey these Nurses are in. Beckett also talks about taking her second vaccine shot and how this shot is another piece of protection in her medical tool kit. We are still in a very selfish society and don't think of anyone else except themselves. Beckett talks about our society and how we can help each other to protect each other.
The nurses are working outside of normal and the resources are thin. The nurses are overwhelmed and are nurses leaving. What are the solutions for helping the nurses in the wards? It appears the hospital officials try to provide a different picture and deny that there are any issues. Listen to what is discussed on MRSA and COVID 19? I could go on and on but it would be better for you to listen to this important discussion. The Public needs to know what is happening in the hospitals and how badly the nurses need your HELP!!!
This is not a normal practice for the Nurse on a daily basis. Hospitals have to find solutions for the nurses instead of being bullies. Here is an idea, maybe the hospital's officials can give some time to help out at the ER, such as answering the phones.

Sheila Wilson Host of Whine and Cheese and Sheila is joined by the following, Beckett Aguat, RN, Elizabeth Dalton, RN, Joanne Farnham, RN, Liz McTomney, RN, Holly Brown, Executive Director and Founder of Looking and Feeling Fab.
The shows we have been providing information on the lack of Protection for the Nurses, and other front line workers in the hospital. One Nurse discusses how dangerous it is getting in the hospital she works at. In fact the violence has now increase over 700% in the hospital she is works at. These Nurses love being a Nurse and caring for their patients but there is a limit. Patients need to know what is happening at the hospitals and how the violence could effect them. If the Nurse goes down who is going to protect and take care of You?
There are the riots, gangs, drug uses, overdoses that bring the violence to the ER. So the violence in the streets goes directly to the Hospital ER and puts all Nurses and all front-line workers in harms way. This is a very informative interview and very descriptive on what is happening in the ER and it is not pretty.
You can hear in the voices the feeling that there is no one protecting the nurses backs at the hospital. Does the Hospital CEO, Your Representatives, and the Lobbyist Care? “NO” if they did care they would be more protection for these Nurses and Hospital Personnel. Also, where is the Press Coverage in all this. It is obvious that Press Coverage is only looking for the Stories on the Pandemic. It all boils down to that spreadsheet and the final total!
Please Wash your hands with soap and warm water, Wear a Mask, and Social Distance. Am I thrilled to do these easy solutions, NO, but I do it? It is not about Me & You it really is about all of US!
Sheila Wilson Host of the Whine and Cheese Show will be talking with Amy Smith, RN, and Holly Brown, Founder of her non-profit Look and Feel Fab. Listen to Amy discuss what has changed now for the Nurses and their patients during the COVID-19.
Then the discussion turned to the Vaccine and would you take the vaccine shot when it has been developed for COVID-19. Nurses have a different point of view on Vaccines and question how safe will it be. Holly Brown, on the other hand, will take the Vaccine because it will give her peace of mind. What will you do when there is a vaccine?
However, in the meantime, the nurses advised, Wash your hands with soap and warm water, Wear a Mask, and Social Distance. Am I thrilled to do these easy solutions, NO, but I do it? It is not about You it is about US!

Whine and Cheese Show with Host Sheila Wilson. The guests that will be on the Whine and Cheese Show today with Sheila Wilson, RN, will be Elizabeth Dalton, RN, Amy Smith, RN, and Beckett Augat, RN. The discussion will be on the COVID-19 and the Nurses working in an abused environment on the front lines. It is amazing that this type of abuse is still alive and well. The hospitals maybe denying staff enough equipment that is needed to protect them. No one is watching the store folks. Do you really believe the News Media is reporting the news correctly? Is the Hospital giving the correct information? The Nurses really need someone to listen to what is happening to them and how they’re health and welfare is in jeopardy now and in the future. The nurses are dedicated to the health and welfare of their patients. For god sake, a nurse cannot go to a store wearing scrubs because if she does she will be attacked. So I ask you again who is watching and helping the health and welfare of the Nurses?

Sheila Wilson, RN Host of the Whine and Cheese and her panel of Nurses, Elizabeth Dalton RN, Amy Smith RN, Liz McTomney RN. The nurse gives an update on the status of equipment. They also discuss how will the chemicals used for the facial mask affect the nurse’s health in the future? Listen to what is said about the conditions of the mask that they have to wear. Would you wear the mask under these conditions? I don’t think so!
I am probably sounding like a broken record, but I have to keep telling the conditions for the Nurses on the frontline. The public needs to get involved. Yes, there are many things happening simultaneously in our world, but this is just as important for the NURSES that take care of you when you are Ill. When we go to the hospital we expect the nurse to be there to help take care of us. Well, if the Nurses are not protected during this CORVID-19 who do you think will be at the hospital to take care of you? I bet you said the Nurses. What if they are not there, what is going to happen? You need to get involved and help the Nurses. Call your local hospitals and speak to someone in charge to find out how the nurses are being protected. They are always there for you, now you have to be there for the Nurses. Your news stations only tell you what they want you to hear and not the full truth.

New things are sometimes scary but with education on this subject you will be ready and able to be part of a new way of seeing your Doctor. There are always Oros and Cons for new ways to do something. Have an open mind and tell us your pros or cons.
