Episode 2: VP Shunts, ER Wristbands, and the Day I Became the Patient

from Life in the Sandwich Lane · host Wendi Hill

Wendi thought she was just taking her 81-year-old dad in for a “simple” VP shunt surgery… and somehow ended up shocked by a rogue outlet, investigated by hospital facilities, and slapped with an ER wristband of her own. In this chaotic episode of Life in the Sandwich Lane, she turns a hospital BOGO—Dad’s brain surgery plus her surprise EKG—into a comedy of errors that every overwhelmed, overcaffeinated sandwich-generation caregiver will recognize.
