You’ve heard a lot about my mother Rosemary over the course of this show and I have a few more stories to share. She married my father, George, 3 times and had one child, me. She never loved me and she never liked me, and I still took care of her. You’ll hear how she almost killed me as a child, how my dog Madison saved Rosemary from drowning and a few others.

You’ve heard a little bit about my father George and mother Rosemary in previous episodes. This one focuses on George’s life, his 9 wives, and the strong effect he had on those women throughout their lives. He married my mother Rosemary 3 times and was the only man she ever loved. I even took Rosemary to visit George and his then 8th wife Gladys all together! You cannot make this up. It all happened and George always did it his way.

In this episode I needed to vent. Ever felt that way? I vent about the stupid news headlines like why Whoopi Goldberg is unhappy with her salary, running a summer rental business, and the people I encounter at the dog park.

Plus, I share the Shakespearian like story of my mother Rosemary’s death. And remember, don’t take life too seriously.

Have you ever heard of a standardized medical patient? In layman's terms, it’s an actor portraying a medical patient with an illness to allow doctors to practice being a doctor. Officially it’s a program that hospitals and medical schools use to help teach and evaluate medical professionals on physical examinations, counseling, interviewing, history-taking, communication skills, and personal interaction with patients.

I have been working as a standardized patient for many years at Maine Medical Center and have played the role of many patients with varying illnesses and have helped many medical professionals what it’s like from the patient’s perspective. I’m given a script with medical history, fake name and symptoms to act out for the medical students who must treat and diagnose me in 20 minutes. It's an invaluable experience for the medical professionals.

Christine Mallar, the Standardized Patient program coordinator at Maine Medical Center, shares more about the importance of this program, how it’s standardized across the nation, how it advances patient safety and transforms health care education which creates better medical care for all.

If you’ve been listening to the podcast, you may know a little about me, Toni Sipka. Though I felt I should tell you more about my life as an actress, model, and business owner. I was born in the summer of 1953 in the steel mill town of Gary, Indiana and at 10 years old I was diagnosed with scoliosis and lived in a body cast for two years after surgery.

When I was told I'd never walk again that became my motivation to walk and prove everyone wrong and start my career as a model and actress. A few highlights included being a Playboy Model, living at the Hollywood Playboy Mansion, traveling the country as Spider woman, witnessing a real life Haitian voodoo ceremony, being gifted an oil well in Wyoming, and many more experiences.
