{"product_id":"9781742982588","title":"Bedpan Blues","description":"Author of eleven best-sellers Sandy Thorne has always delivered the goods with an entertaining read, since she launched \"I'VE MET SOME BLOODY WAGS!\" in 1980, by biting the top off a stubby on the MIDDAY SHOW. . (see: sandythorne.com.au) This hilarious, true story about her two-month stay in hospital, is an ideal gift to cheer up someone who's a bit crook. At the same time, it highlights the shortcomings of our public hospitals. Australia sends billions to countries who don't give a bugger about us, while our hospitals are desperate for funds to lift staffing, cleaning and maintenance standards. Fairly outrageous, a bit un-p.c. - Australia's journos will not be able to resist talking and writing about this lively yarn from a straight-shooting sheila from the bush.  Buyers will get more laughs from BEDPAN BLUES than from Wayne Swan's budget speech.","brand":"Sandy Thorne Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169754923248,"sku":"9781742982588","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781742982588_p0.jpg?v=1763703636","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781742982588","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
