Grace's hospital story is insane omg

[@genericplantlife]

Her full retelling on her channel is absolutely glorious and truly paints a vivid picture. I

[@blairbarbour6093]

I know. Praying for Grace and continued recovery ❤🙏

[@Imberis]

@@genericplantlife Omg, yes. Her telling her husband "I shit on the floor!" had me rolling. Poor Grace, but I'm so glad she's feeling better and can laugh about it now.

[@isaacgalliher109]

Grace! As a diabetic, I’m so glad you’re rocking the healthcare aesthetic. You’re killing it. The “needles” in your arm are actually called “cannulas” there just very tiny tubes made of safe plastic that emulate veins for delivery or medicine. The needle is just for the insertion!!!!

[@ashleymaude979]

paramedic with incurable cancer here. had my share of hospital visits the past couple years. i want to thank you for talking about it. and even giving your transporter humanity. hoping you are recovering from your infection. thanks for being so brave and transparent. it helps , it really does

Thank you so much

[@bunnycrazygirl]

thank you!

[@Mollywollytwitch]

I work at a cancer research hospital with GI cancer patients and the first thing we would do with chronic diarrhea like that would be to test for cdiff:( I’m glad you went in!

[@Lindseyxbaby]

I am not usually a commenter but I just felt the need to comment this morning. I have been watching you guys for years and it honestly makes my day when yall upload anything. I loved all your You Deserve a Drink bloopers back in the day. Grace your hospital story made me laugh and cry. You are such a positive, wonderful person in spite of all you have endured lately. I honestly feel that if I had to deal with what you have dealt with I know I wouldn't be doing so well. I also did not know that evergreen meant always green. Definitely a DUH moment. Love yall!

[@theyoshow]

Mushy post incoming! Nine years ago, I was at a very low point. I randomly found a funny gif of y'all on Tumblr and I went searching. And I've been watching ALL OF YOUR CONTENT since. Thank you for making me laugh for over 9 years. ❤

[@destinee_estrada]

I work in a hospital and I have 2 things: 1. I got familiar with some of the transport guys and most of them are young about 18-20 and they’re pretty laid back. I dont know exactly what the interview process is like but lets just say some hospitals are in desperate need of transport so nurses/techs dont have to stop what they’re doing and take patients to wherever they have to go. I assume they’re given info & some training on patient care but to what extent I’m not sure. 2. The cafeteria and morgue, I was told, are on the same ground floor and next to each other so delivery/transport trucks can have access. Plus they need to keep it really cold for produce and the bodies. Happy to hear you’re doing much better Grace, C.diff is no joke and is a big thing we lookout for in the hospital amongst patients. Fun fact: a possible treatment for C. Diff is a fecal transplant which is exactly what it sounds like, taking a healthy donor’s poopy and putting it into your GI tract to help by changing your gut’s microbiome. I’m so glad my degree is coming into use lol

[@RealBradMiller]

The food supply corporations use their own freezer trucks to deliver food to more than just the hospital, so they would not be able to have bodies placed on their trucks. Also, most morgues in hospitals I've been in have been in the basement. Life is so strange! 👍👍🤗

[@destinee_estrada]

@@RealBradMiller oh yes i didn’t mean bodies AND food together thats crazy I meant access is usually on the lowest level, ours being ground floor, so both facilities are located on the same floor

[@RealBradMiller]

@@destinee_estrada Lol, I was hoping I misunderstood, but then I thought maybe the truck drivers were just pulling your leg. 😂😂😂 Hope you have a great day!!!

[@destinee_estrada]

@@RealBradMiller 😂 thanks you too!

[@genericplantlife]

It's wild that the standard protocol for a chemo side effect could have killed Grace just because it turned out not to be a chemo side effect after all. So glad you're feeling better and well enough to podcast!

[@CodySDivineCreators]

I can’t even tell you how happy I am to see Grace smiling and here today ☀️ ❤.

[@tylergibson3386]

Listened to the podcast and immediately had to come see the beans slippers with my own two eyes 👀 😂 they did NOT disappoint!!

[@caitlindemara2308]

SAME

[@kierstenchappell7697]

Same!!!

[@lindseypryor8716]

the fact that Mamrie drove home, true love

[@VianneyCreates]

I love a swift transport person! LOL! I have been in hospital many times for having babies and other gastro issues...and these people will sweep you through so fast. The breeze does feel good! LOL!!

[@pokaytoes]

Those slippers are perfection 😂

[@dragitoutofme]

It's amazing ya'll are blessed to have had so little interaction with hospitals. Indeed it is a rite of passage.. and a super dose of compassion and empathy. Wishing health and wellness and peace and self love through the hard stuff. Hugs

[@Lyurgait]

I need to see a reaction of beanz meeting the slippers

[@potatoe3675]

Love you guys. Every day I'm so impressed at what a fighter Grace is!! She is absolutely kicking ass

[@patriciam9290]

Hospital worker here! Most of the transport stuff is on the job training. It is (if I’m being honest) a couple times running into a wall or something with a bed or someone telling you to slow down (usually a 90 year old grandma) then you get it down! The interview process is very vague on job duties. When you get in and really see the down and dirty, it’s CRAZY. I miss working at a hospital though. Best job ever.

[@Jason-su9tg]

You’d probably be the one to ask then, are the staff that do solely transport like the guy in her story CNAs or are they hired solely for transport without needing any certifications? I had no idea “transport person” was a job, I just assumed it was always nurses 😆

[@rafieldcorn1385]

@@Jason-su9tgI work in a medium sized hospital, and we do have some staff who’s sole responsibility is to move patients to different parts of the hospital for different reasons (and they are usually young, no previous experience required really)…but if they aren’t available/are busy nurses and/CNA’s will do transport too (or if it’s a critically ill person that’s going to the ICU it’s usually a nurse transporting)

[@effierivera9551]

I’ve been to the Emergency room HUNDREDS of times. It’s wild to me how there’s people out in the world (like 75% of humans) who just love life without ever going. Health is such a fragile thing

[@razmataz13drums]

i really enjoy starting my wednesday morning with some Grace and Mamrie

[@jonathanbelmares1306]

Ive been in the hosptial enough to completely sympathize with youre hospital stay and the interesting characters you meet from the nurses to the CNAs to transport.

[@KizzyKat14]

how have i been watching these two for a decade and never knew mamrie has a sister

[@Jiddy12345]

WHAT???

[@whyareyouaskspam2111]

She also has a brother. It comes up frequently in the podcast and her videos...

[@theknight3583]

Dude, you should read her books, she's mentioned there

[@Faeriecoma]

So grateful grace is feeling better, I was worried last week about her with the evergreen ep. 💗💗💗

[@itsRobbienotRobby]

what i learned from this is that i have spent way too much time in hospitals lmao

[@kellinomnom]

So glad you're feeling better, Grace! I know you're not a huge hugger but HUGS to you and Elliot. ❤

[@hollygordon2894]

first mention of hannah in what feels like years!

[@thesocialpalm]

This episode was perfection! Got me in the feels, made me laugh, made me think… all the things! I’m so glad you’re doing better Grace. Watching the two of you got me through my own health issues a few years ago with much needed laughs & I’m so grateful for that and the continued fun since. Ps: those Beans slippers are the perfect amount of weird!

[@rafieldcorn1385]

These videos are for sure some of my best coping skills…Hope all your health issues are doing better ❤

[@ShyPandaBear]

It makes sense why your hospital experience was so chaotic if the two of you do not have reoccurring experiences in the hospital either for your self or family! I never realized people don’t experience the ER has often as my family has, so eye opening!

[@charlottecarter2748]

literally the hardest dog to clone to bizarre

[@KateKalnicki]

Grace's story sounds just like Tig Notaro's! So happy you're back, Helbig - we love you!!!

[@crazzie7]

Already thumbs up before the intro finished. :) happy to see you both & ready for a great episode!

[@treblehearts]

happy TMGW wednesday 🥰❤️ had listened to grace’s video - so glad you’re feeling better and that the tumor seems to be shrinking significantly!! GO GRACE GO ❤️

[@oggtastic]

Ain't Dead Yet is in Spamalot the Musical and now it's stuck in my head. Thanks ladies!

[@Freckles101598]

I got so much joy from those slippers. Also you got the best transporter they had lmao great pod I giggled a ton

[@Katiedora122]

I was crying laughing through the triumph of Grace's video, but I should have realized it was even more wild than that 🤣 Also, C. diff is how my uncle found his cancer. He was having weird symptoms, they were treating him for the bacteria, and then afterwards all his symptoms went nuts again, so he went to the ER. And then after some scans a doctor came in and was like, "Uh, did you know you have a tumor on your kidney?" Which he did not know and was obviously terrible, but he wound up spending about a week in the hospital and got every test possible without waiting and was immediately on a treatment plan. And now he's doing pretty good!

[@treblehearts]

THE SLIPPERRSSSS AHHHHAHAHAHAH 😂❤️ thats sooo gooodddd 😂😂😂

[@courtneylou4152]

Came to see the slippers

[@ahsnaps]

I know I’m late but two things. 1 the actual needle is not in your arm its just used to place the “tiny tube” in arm I forget actual name. And 2 I have a roku tv and I sometimes use the phone remote app that allows the sound to come out of bluetooth headphones connected to your phone. Its great. I think you should be able to do this with any smart tv that lets you cast/ connect your phone.

[@randyhodges8782]

Best episode ever. Cuddle clones here I come.

[@kurt1t1]

not the hat note making me cry!

[@sumaraahmad5567]

😂😂😂 LOVE Mamrie’s gift so good

[@TyeLerification17]

I was listening on apple podcasts and immediately had to come over here to see what these Beanz slippers look like 😂😭😂😭. Additionally I’ve worked at a cancer center for the last three years as escort and patient concierge type role. We are not trained on speed you kinda have to figure out what kinda patient you got in the chair in the first few minutes, and never be one who suggests the stairs even to non wheelchair bound patients, no one wants to walk the stairs 😂. Hope you’re well Grace! I understand your journey and hope you continue to find the humor and good people! 🩷🫶🏼

[@lassoroot]

"I got to see your skeleton and holy shit, it's huge and hilarious and wonderful" out of context is so funny 🤣

[@Shwee113]

chemo and IV ports don't leave needles in you, they are small, flexible plastic catheters. just in case anyone needs one in the future, don't be alarmed, you don't feel it.

[@Faeriecoma]

Yes when I was young I used to think the needle was there and I was scared to bend my arm. It wasn’t till I had so many iron transfusions that I knew.

[@imminentorca]

been a long time fan and i absolutely love these girls. hope everyone is doing well now!

[@jafettt]

ugh. this pod is my fave thing ever. love you guys 🩷

[@dianay2909]

I Watch things on my Roku and downloaded the remote control app and I can connect it to my headphones. So nice. Lol.

[@ThatAllieChick5]

They’re close together because of the refrigeration needed in both rooms

[@gooze_design]

"you did not just drop the bananas"

[@kimismith18]

Fun fact, when you have IVs, needles aren't left in your arm! Its just a catheter that is left behind. The needle retracts back into itself. Just for your piece of mind. Lol.

[@katieorr192]

As a former hospital volunteer whose job it was to transport patients via wheelchair, I can tell you there is no wheelchair training 😂 at least not for me. I was 12 or 13 years old and on my first day there, they just told me to go start wheeling people around! It was terrifying. These people were in a lot of pain and many of them very heavy-set and old. I was a scrawny teenager who had never operated a wheelchair 😅

[@jafettt]

Only midway through grace’s hospital story and omfg im dying cause its so funny but its also giving me anxiety lmao

[@ct5625]

Interestingly (for me at least) I've known two guys who worked as hospital porters here in the UK and they both had similar personalities. I think there's definitely a "type" of person who goes into that kind of job and sticks with it. They were both funny guys and I get the impression they could work out how to engage with someone, or if they shouldn't try. Grace suggests it was nice to have that kind of normality in that moment, it was a good distraction. Hospital folk have that disarming nature in my experience. Most of them have to try to keep things very level and normal because they encounter so much that isn't. I think it's good for everyone's mental health that these regular interactions happen in those environments.

[@barbara-se3yh]

I look at the needle cuz i need to see whats going in to or coming out of my body

[@stevereber3358]

I hope Beanz doesn't go crazy angry with the slippers. There is a theme in my family about giving gifts that creep people out, My sister's cat HATES the robot poop scooper and her daughter went insane in the 90s when I bought the talking winnie the pooh that knows when your birthday is. Batteries out, and it took another two weeks before the 4 year old would approach it.

[@brettcarruthers8838]

My best friend had C-Diff once. Sounded rough. I tried to go visit him but I couldn't find his room and wasn't sure where I was going. And I didn't really wanna ask anyone.

[@mm606-i5m]

As someone who has very awkwardly/seemingly in slow motion veered many a patient on a cart towards a wall, no, sadly there is no transport training. You’re just really bad at it until you get really good at it 😂

[@josephsnyder6401]

I work in a hospital as a pharmacy technician, the transport guy sounds fine. But he shouldn’t have sat in the room with you lol. in my hospital transport is trained to keep the patient talking to ensure they are okay, our transport team can’t work here unless they are CPR trained just in case a patient has a problem that requires CPR. So keeping a conversation going is important to their job. I’ve never heard of them or seen my transport department sit in the room with a patient, they usually chill outside with the nurses until patient gets green lit to be moved. But I catch them talking about anything with the patients, I guess they just try to match their energy. Just my experience lol

[@emopineapple92]

There are headphones that you can get for the tv for that reason.

[@Chunkcheez]

I used to work at a small town hospital as a housekeeper and I would see people getting transported around in their beds all the time and I'd say a solid 30% of the time their beds would hit the walls or the elevator doors😂 I don't think the transporters got a driving test.

[@lucyk310]

I NEED SOME OF THOSE SLIPPERS 😂😂😂

[@KaylaNoel101]

As a former Transporter, that story killed me 🤣 And no they definitely don’t give you a driving test. They give you like two weeks of training by shadowing someone and then just throw you in 😂 but yeah I’ve definitely known other transporters that were just like that. In my experience, the older more veteran transporters work in the morning and the later shifts are usually younger kids lol

[@Maynay84]

I worked in transport as a teen and you are right 😄

[@kewlness41]

I had knee surgery in Sept and was so out of it and they were whipping me around in that wheelchair!

[@randyhodges8782]

Love to Grace's nurse.❤

[@rileyfischer8415]

I am the freak that looks at the needle, guilty

[@MoWhales]

Hospital transport people I swear have ZERO barriers to entry. Do you have a pulse? Can you push a chair? You are hired. I have had more INSANE interactions with transport people than I care to remember. Including being stuck in an elevator post surgery with one who immediately had a panic attack and I had to push all the buttons and communicate for help. They all seem to be skater dudes or women who have just had terrible divorces. Crazy crazy.
