Compass: Hospital Chaplains - It's Not Fair, Ep 8 Of 8
Every day in Australia over 40,000 patients are in hospital. While medicine tends their bodies, hospital chaplains tend their souls. Over eight episodes we follow our chaplains' journeys alongside the patients and their families at three major hospitals. They are Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Jewish and Buddhist. Regardless of their faith, they all meet the same challenges - to help make sense of the mystery of illness, pain, suffering and despair. This series offers a unique bedside view of the daily life and death drama of hospital life through our chaplains' eyes.
This week at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital, Uniting Church chaplain Julie Telfer is visiting a patient struck down with Devic's Disease, a rare illness that damages optic and spinal nerves. Sandra is gradually going blind and is also having difficulty walking. Her treatment is acutely painful, and now she's had a big setback. Julie's on hand to support her through it. Meantime, in ICU Luke has been on life support for a month after being viciously assaulted outside a night club. His parents flew up from Victoria to be with their son, but they still don't know if Luke will be OK when he wakes - if he wakes. Chaplain Di Roche is supporting them throughout their bedside vigil.
